The French icons first solo album since 2015 is his most dancefloor-focussed yet. Laurent Garnier is one of electronic musics best-known acts, a pioneering household name responsible for decades of clubland classics. From experiencing the acid-house movement first-hand as a DJ at The Hacienda through to timeless hits such as the breakout Crispy Bacon and the enduring The Man With The Red Face, his tireless enthusiasm has permeated the dance music landscape via six celebrated albums, numerous singles and a relentless touring schedule. On 33 Tours Et Puis Sen Vont, Laurent Garniers first solo LP in 8 years and his most dancefloor-oriented yet, a total mastery of House, Techno, and beyond is on full display. Club-leaning cuts from Liebe Grue Aus Cucuron through to Granulator Bordelum all distil his years of warehouse, club, and festival experience into thrilling expressions of musical tension and release. Vocal-led tracks tastefully borrow from a range of genre influences; from the Hip Hop inflected In Your Phase with 22Carbone, an incendiary number that will be firmly burnt into the memory of any attendee of Garniers recent DJ sets, to the Punk of Saturn Drive Triplex, which features vocals from the late Alan Vega, of influential duo Suicide notoriety. Elsewhere, sprinklings of broken rhythms appear in the leftfield downtempo cut ...et puis sen Va! and Drum & Bass experiment Sado Miso, offering listeners a further view into his wide-ranging taste. Across 2022, Garnier released five EPs, each containing a special hidden code referencing a fairground ride from his childhood, alluding to the album. www.laurentgarnier.com www.cod3qr.com
