'The Cloud Making Machine'
by Laurent Garnier

In his book Electrochoc (co-writen by David Brun-Lambert), he tells his story of techno music over the past fifteen years, told through Laurent's career. Published by Flammarion, the book has been very successful in France (over fifteen thousand copies sold). The book is completed by some of the most relevant tracks talked about within the book available on the PBB website. It has been translated into German, Russian and Croatian (just what is taking the English speaking world so long?). At this time, only the chapter 7th is available in English, narrating Laurent's first visit in Detroit. Please ask for it to be emailed to you.

He also created a cinematic mix using film archives from the Albert Kahn Foundation, Kahn, a philanthropic banker who financed expeditions in the early twentieth century to the four corners of the world in order to collect "archives for the planet". Remixes and 12" vinyls are constantly added to Laurent's discography and all the while he travels across the world as a DJ. He still plays his monthly residency gig in the Rex club in Paris. The very same place where the Music, Expect the Unexpected Tour was launched in September 2004, a European tour with Jeff Mills. Will the man ever stop? No. And why should he? And remember that what has been mentioned here is just the visible part of what he does. Amongst his less obvious talents, Laurent has the gift of bringing interesting people together and getting the best from them.
