About this Event
September 1987 – The Hacienda on to September 2021 – Repercussion Festival at The Warehouse Project. Almost 34 years apart and to the exact day, these two dates were the first and latest gigs played by Laurent Garnier in Manchester.
As truly global and recognised DJs go, Laurent Garnier is up there as one of the most loved, especially in Manchester where he started working as a chef in Cheshire back in 1987, which quickly began his career as a DJ at the Hacienda alongside Mike Pickering at the Wednesday night pre-cursor to the legendary Hot night, Zumbar was Laurent’s first residency which saw him at the helm of the acid house explosion.
Fast forward 34 years and the French-born Laurent Garnier has been the subject of a fascinating music documentary that chronicles the rise of techno and in particular the career of the acclaimed DJ and producer. Directed by Gabin Rivoire, Laurent Garnier: Off the Record received its UK premiere at Manchester Central during MIF21.
