Only a very small handful of DJs and producers have the ability to transcend all styles and genres, rising above fleeting trends and cliques creating their very own sonic landscapes. Laurent Garnier is one of them. His latest opus, Tales of a Kleptomaniac, pushes his already vast musical boundaries further than ever before, showcasing a devilish diversity that has made him one of dance musics greatest assets. Fromthe albums opening track, Laurent takes no prisoners with block party chants, handclaps, thundering 808s, lilting horns, screaming guitars, cut up vocals, tribal percussion, film noir soundtrack vibes, huge drums, crushing bass and laidback twisted jazz flavours.
