garnier: kl 2036

Deep, layered, soulful and musical tracks from French legend Laurent Garnier. "Psyche-Delia" was inspired by his deep love for Ethiopian jazz. And indeed, it sounds like a modern take on something like Mulatu Astatke. With an Afrobeat bass line, flutes and live Rhodes, it feels almost like a live jam session and is way beyond what we would usually associate with the term "house music." The flipside sees Garnier go into even deeper territory with the low-key, bass-heavy and trippy track "Whistle for Frankie," a modern take on classic Garnier values.
