EssentialSunday~Number 11_ Laurent Garnier

For just about two decades now French maestro Laurent Garnier has been djing and producing all over the world. Starting in the late 80's under the name Dj Pedro, Garnier has played at all sorts of clubs and events earning him respect as one of the greatest djs in the world. We last heard him in 2005 for the Essential Mix in Ibiza, but in this week's two hour mix, Laurent brings us a set broken in half. The first being strait from the club and the second will be "extremely, extremely open minded." Also for this post I have included a mix from Garnier at Rave Energy 1993 (for those who are interested), to hear the progression electronic music has made over the years. Hope all enjoy this fantastic mix!
