Laurent Garnier is joining the ‘fabric presents’ mix series, with the DJ/producer doing four mixes as he embraces an opportunity to go even bigger for the London brand in its 25th year. A full-spectrum and multi-genre release, there’s a UK-focus, house, techno and downtempo mix.
In his words, “diversity makes it richer, makes it better.” Eager to pay homage to the vitality of club culture, his vision is to take you through a rapturous weekend at fabric from Friday through to the afters. He’s also dropping an original four-track EP - one track per genre.
Laurent Garnier: “Clubs have been my second home since the start of my career. Once you’ve witnessed that unique connection you can create in a club with a crowd, once you’ve experienced it from behind the decks, you just know you are where you’re meant to be. This special journey with fabric is of course a tribute to the legendary London club - a place that’s been a home to so many clubbers, DJs and music-lovers for so many years - but most of all, a tribute to all the dancefloors and all the clubs around the world.”
His trip through fabric spans over five hours with each mix coming in at 1 hour 20 minutes.
On his EP Luminous house cut ‘Odyssée Maison’ is in for spirited dancefloor grabs with Dan Diamond on vocals, while ‘Resonances From The D’ is for techno heads. ‘Playing With The Low-End’ is the bass-doused maze that looms large before ‘On The Way Home’ brings the synths.
It drops as physical-only on 29 November. The deluxe LP includes a bespoke box, coloured vinyl of the mixes and 12” EP and a picture booklet of Garnier. The CD comes with embossed ‘25 Years of fabric’ aluminium cases and the booklet.
The four-track exclusive EP is also available for purchase as a separate product exclusively at Paris record store Yoyaku.
On Saturday, 7 December, Laurent Garnier headlines fabric’s Room 2 alongside Works Of Intent. Ron Trent and Serenda take the reins in Room 1, with Circa Groove, Thorgurder, Rupert Ellis and Will Mellor in Room 3.
