Ed Banger To Release New Laurent Garnier EP

'Timeless EP' To Be The Techno Legend's First For The Paris Label 

In summer of 2008, while interviewing Pedro Winters (aka Busy P) for URB’s Power Issue, we got to talking about the history o French DJs. When I asked him who was the best French DJ of all time, he didn’t pause a moment for answering “Laurent Garnier.”

So it’s not that surprising that Pedro just announced via his blog that Ed Banger will be releasing a new EP by the Parisian DJ legend this spring. The Timeless EP will feature two new tracks, “Jacques In The Box” and “Our Future” (Loud Disco Mix), recorded by Garnier and the LBS (Live Booth Sessions) crew. The digital release will also feature “Our Future” (Deeper Detroit Mix).

Interview :: Laurent Garnier L.B.S.

Several years ago, when speaking to Ed Banger records honcho Busy P, I asked the frenchman who he thought was the greatest French DJ of all time. “Laurent Garnier,” he answered without the slightest hesitation. Of course, there could be no other answer. With over 20 years of experience both behind the decks and performing live, Garnier has moved multiple generations of techno fans with his exceptionally long DJ sets and classic tracks such as “Crispy Bacon,” “Acid Eiffel” and “The Man With The Red Face.” And he’s spent the past decade performing his own music live with accomplished jazz musicians, proving himself to be a stellar festival act as well as nightclub staple. …MORE
