Laboratoire Mix

DJ-Mix CD's can be hit and miss. A showcase for the artist in question to show their favourite tracks or to a create a sonic journey. In rare cases the two combine to make a simply unforgettable mix. This is such an example.We are blessed in that Mr. Garnier has impeccable taste and this is displayed throughout this lengthy mix. It is deep, pulsing and occasionally abrasive but retains an underlying groove that keeps the listener pinned. Best experienced through good headphones or a good speaker system, you are taken from Detroit to Chicago to Paris to Berlin without leaving your seat. From Green Velvet to Jeff Mills, taking in 3MB's simply breathtaking 'Die Kosmischen Kuriere' and other more surprising tracks from Aphex Twin and Philip Glass of all people, this is a mix which is best described as deep atmospheric, pulsing techno but not the tuneless, atonal type.

Excellent
