The team-up, with French duo The Limiñanas, comes four years after Garnier brought them out to perform at Festival Yeah! in the south of France. Two singles, titled “Saul” and “Que Calor!” from the forthcoming collaborative album, De Película, have already been released.

A departure from Garnier’s typical driving techno rhythms, the album takes a more experimental approach that still highlights the producer’s style while allowing The Limiñanas distinctive sound to shine through. The two singles hint at an obviously psychedelic, yet groovy palate for De Película that will explore new avenues for both artists.

“I didn’t want to make a track with a techno beat,” Garnier said of the forthcoming LP. “It really didn’t have a place on this album I thought. Lionel had put a few in and I cleared all that out. I wanted to stay within the Limiñanas world, rather than bring them crashing into techno-land.”

In 2018, Garnier produced a decidedly more techno-oriented remix of The Limiñanas track “Dimanche” featuring Bertrand Belin.

De Película is slated release on September 10th, 2021 via the Because Music imprint.

Laurent Garnier: Off The Record will premiere at the CPH:DOX film festival on May 7th. The documentary serves as a deep-dive into Garnier’s origins and his life’s work cultivating and evolving the techno scene worldwide. Appearances from the likes of Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Seth Troxler, Kerri Chandler, The Blessed Madonna, Jeff Mills, and others will expand on Garnier’s history.

“We have been talking about it for such a long time and now…next Friday, May the 7th, it’s finally getting its theatrical world première at the fantastic festival CPH:DOX!” Garnier Tweeted. “I am so thrilled!”

Although French by birth, Laurent Garnier began DJing in Manchester in 1986. After traveling back to France to fulfill military obligations, he organized legendary events like Wake Up and Dijon in the early ’90s. He released his first album, Shot in the Dark, in 1995.

“A million thanks to everyone of you who helped us in any way to make this dream come true,” Garnier continued in a reply. “Merci Merci Merci.”
