Club Tip CMU Approved
Approved: Laurent Garnier at Village Undergound
By Paul Vig | Published on Friday 3 December 2010
Laurent Garnier launches his latest tour tonight, not so long after the end of the eighteen months worth of shows that promoted his ‘Tales Of A Kleptomaniac’ album.
This lot is branded ‘LBS’, which apparently stands for ‘Live Both Sessions’, ‘Loud Bass and Samples’ or ‘Laurent +Ben + Stephane’, you can take your pick. Handily, when put together, all three go a long way to explaining what the show is all about – three men will be cramming themselves into DJ booths around the world with a load of equipment to perform a blend of DJ set and live performance
Garnier will be playing records and pushing buttons, Benjamin Rippert will be adding live keyboards, while Stephane Dri (aka Scan X) will be triggering more live electronics and samples. A few test dates ahead of the tour earned the trio a lot of praise, with their four-hour improvised sets keeping the dancefloor packed out all night. You can sample this delight tonight at the Village Underground in Shoreditch. One not to be missed
Friday 3 Dec, Village Underground, 54 Holywell Lane, London, EC2A, 10pm – 6am, £15 adv, £18 door, more information from www.villageunderground.co.uk
