Pioneering DJ Laurent Garnier on Documentary About His Life and Evolution of Dance Music (Exclusive)
Gabin Rivoire’s documentary “Laurent Garnier: Off the Record,” which explores the origins and rise of techno music through the eyes of one of its pioneers, is set to world premiere on May 7 in front of a live audience at the Cph:dox festival in Copenhagen. Anton, which is handling world sales, has released its first official trailer exclusively to Variety. Garnier, one of the world’s leading DJs and a well-respected music producer, talks to Variety from his home in France, which is still in lockdown, preventing him from traveling to the premiere, about how the film evolved, his love of techno, and how the pandemic caused him to stop listening to techno music for the first time in more than 30 years.
Garnier had been approached a few times by people wanting to make a documentary about his life, but wanted to “open the doors and work in trust” with a filmmaker,...

Pedro Winter managed Daft Punk as they became international dancefloor stars in the late Nineties and early 2000s. But when he started his own label, Ed Banger Records, in 2003, it was as if his resume had been erased. “If I called someone on behalf of Daft Punk, then people were opening doors right away,” he remembers. “But when I was calling for Ed Banger, no one would even return my call.”
In the years since, Ed Banger built a reputation of its own, often with brash hip-hop leaning hits — Uffie’s “Pop the Glock,...

Justice have remained notoriously tight lipped in regards to their upcoming album, but a new song from the effort appears to have emerged. Ed Banger Records label head Busy P just played a track during his DJ set at the Ed Banger House Party in Spain that’s got blog house enthusiasts buzzing.
The single in question is the one in the beginning of the set in the YouTube video above. Fans have found its disco inclinations reminiscent of what Justice put out on their 2013 album, Audio, Video, Disco – but that’s only the first indicator.
A Redditor who Shazamed the segment of Busy P’s set revealed that the track is already in the platform’s database as “Safe And Sound” by Justice.
Upon further investigation, the following image was found in the code of the duo’s website:

John Waters on Isabelle Huppert: "It's amazing, she gets in the skin of whoever it is." Photo: Anne-Katrin Titze
At the Us première of Valley Of Love, Guillaume Nicloux's searing portrait of a long divorced couple (Gérard Depardieu and Isabelle Huppert), John Waters recalled Bertrand Blier's Going Places (Les Valseuses) as his first Isabelle experience, Catherine Breillat's Abuse Of Weakness (Abus De Faiblesse), and wishing he had seen her in Tennessee Williams' Streetcar Named Desire or Sarah Kane's 4.48 Psychosis, or Jean Genet's The Maids with Cate Blanchett and Elizabeth Debicki.
The next morning over coffee, I shared greetings from her Tip Top director Serge Bozon and Mrs. Hyde, where Isabelle will star with Romain Duris and Depardieu. At the French Embassy after party celebrating 25 years of French electronic music with DJs Busy P, Boston Bun, Superpoze and Jacques, she tried to answer John Waters earlier posed question.

We’ve been craving it. They’ve teased it. The legendary French duo, Justice, has been promising new material for 2016 and we’ve been left frothing at the thought. Keeping the hype at a rolling boil, Justice just made a surprise appearance on Busy P’s Nts radio show for a two hour guest mix, twisting our arms with more anticipation.
This mix is everything that isn’t Hardwell, Snails, or Diplo, contorting disco, house, synth rock, and a slew of sub-genres into one eclectic treat. Spanning the decades, the mix packs the best from Nicolas Godin, Hudson Mohawk, Mr Oizo, Death From Above 1979, Jackson and His Computer Band, and so many more. Press play above, and get caught up on some dance music history.
As if that wasn’t enough, Justice has already cast their dominion over New Year’s Eve, scheduling a DJ set alongside Gesaffelstein and...

When Drake, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and French Montana throw a pool party for a music video, two things are definitely going to be involved. There's bound to be a bevy of scantily clad women (that song is called "Pop That," after all) and more than enough product placement. Each of them has their products to push: Rozay rides hard for Ciroc, Lil Wayne drops a horribly unsubtle reference to his clothing line, Truck Fit, and someone is seen smoking a hookah that's made from a bottle of Moet.
Also present are Drake's unusual glasses. He also wore unconventional spectacles in the video for "No Lie," so maybe they're replacing sweaters to become his new "thing."
If you recognize the crass refrain of the song, it's because it's been used a number of times before. Luke (aka 2 Live Crew's Luther Campbell) released a song called "I Wanna Rock (Doo Doo...
