With the „Tales of a Kleptomaniac“ tour recently over, Laurent Garnier is going back on the
road with a new club orientated tour entitled „L.B.S“
These three letters have several different meanings:
„Laurent + Ben + Stephane“, „Live Booth Sessions“, „Loud Bass & Samples“
This new project will bring together Laurent Garnier (DJ & machines), Benjamin Rippert (keyboards) and Stephane „Scan X“ Dri
(machines).
„After eighteen months on tour with my musicians, I began to realize that I could get as much
pleasure from playing live in a festival as I could from DJ-ing in clubs. Whilst on tour, we
developed a very open style of playing: interacting, improvising, and expressing
ourselves freely, something that I thought I could only achieve through my DJ sets.”
“It was obvious that after a long period spent touring round some of the biggest festivals, I
was going to feel an overwhelming desire to go back to my roots (clubs and records), but the
idea of finding myself alone behind two decks was impossible. So why not combine the two?
Why not play other people’s records alongside my own tracks, played live? Why not put the
two together to make one? After more than twenty years spent DJ-ing I really wanted to
take it a step further. Sometimes, when I see other DJs playing out today I get the feeling
that they’re bored, that they don’t get off on what they’re doing anymore. It is very clear to me
why the idea behind L.B.S came to life because not only will it give my work a new lease of
life, it will also offer a new and very different experience to club goers.“
Straight out of the DJ booths of some of the best clubs on the planet, L.B.S offers the best of
both worlds by combining the versatility and flexibility of the DJ set with the ability to
experiment tracks live. Two decks, a Rhodes, several keyboards and machines will be used
to create organic improvised four-hour sets guaranteed to work the dance floor.
„I especially want to carry on creating and exploring whether through Dj-ing or playing live.
But also, get even closer to the public than we can in a festival. During the live sections of
L.B.S I will be developing and fine-tuning new tracks in front of (and with) the crowd to create
the live of the future, but also to test out new tracks. We’ll be taking our time, something that
isn’t really the done thing nowadays!! One thing is sure, the dance floor never lies…
Alongside Benjamin and Scan X I’ll be creating tracks live for my next tour and for my future
releases.“
In view of the amazing feedback on the net after a couple of „test“ dates that L.B.S
performed in the spring of 2010, the tour will officially begin at the end of October 2010 with a
myriad of dates in Europe. It will continue throughout 2011 around the rest of the world.
