fabric presents Laurent Garnier
At last, Laurent Garnier joins our ‘fabric presents’ mix series, and it’s extra special in our 25th year as a club.
After 20-plus years of choosing artists to record mixes for our original fabric and FABRICLIVE series, up to the current ‘fabric presents’, we drew up a shortlist of acts we all admire who had not yet recorded a mix for us. This person’s career had to match the club's lifespan and the musical generational changes we've all been through, to record our 25-year mix. Laurent stood out, having first played in 2002 and always returned when he had the chance to play for us.
Laurent’s mix will not only pay homage to the club, but also showcase his own mastery of genres and the diversity of his genius. The release will drop physical-only for now on 29th November, as a deluxe vinyl collectable and on CD, and it’ll also feature a new original 4-track EP from Laurent. Available for pre-order here.
'All I’ve ever wanted to do was share the music I loved with people and make them dance. I never thought I was going to make a career out of it, especially not one that would last over 35 years. This might well be my last mix CD, and if it is, I’m very proud of it.’ - Laurent Garnier
On Saturday 7th December, Garnier will headline fabric’s Room 2 alongside Works Of Intent. Ron Trent and Serenda will take the reins in Room 1, whilst Circa Groove, Thorgurder, Rupert Ellis and Will Mellor feature in Room 3. Tickets are available here.
‘When I (first) saw Room 2 with its open DJ booth I thought this is definitely for me. It’s a small room and a really nice booth close to the crowd. I’m a dancer so I like to be involved, together with the people.’ - Laurent Garnier.
As well as this, Laurent will be joining us on Friday 6th December, where he will be showcasing a UK-focused set, featuring Drum & Bass, Dubstep and other signature UK bass-heavy sounds in the intimate setting of Room 3. Tickets are available here.
