Laurent Garnier’s Electrochoc To Be Adapted Into A Film

Laurent Garnier needs no introduction. No matter what your musical preference, the Frenchman is universally admired for his contribution to the development of techno.

We recently found Garnier in a retrospective mood with his F Communications release, The Home Box which consisted of 4 vinyls and a CD revisiting various chapters from his illustrious past and landed at the same time as the long awaited English language release of his acclaimed 2003 book, Electrochoc.

Chronicling over 30 years of dance music history, the book details the illustrious past of some of dance music’s most iconic hotspots and features contributions from the likes of Jeff Mills and James Murphy. Thus you imagine our excitement at news that the book, fresh from its translation is now being readied for the big screen with monsieur Garnier co-writing a film adaptation.

Further details regarding the project are currently thin on the ground although we understand filming is due to begin in late 2015. Keep it locked at Data Transmission for more information as and when it comes in.
