rEJEKT @ Club Azucar Ibiza
This year rEJEKT have set up collaborations with Pacha & Privilege but in a season that’s been one of the most heavily contested yet, with Pacha, Privilege, Amnesia, Ushuaia and Sankeys all stepping things up considerably and of course with the emergence of Hi, for the most part they have kept their heads down, quite happily going about their business in the Villa’s and forests in the hills but In the interest of going out with a bit of a bang, they have decided to pop their heads above the parapet one more time to take over one of the island’s original and truly legendary venues.

LAURENT GARNIER JOINS THE LINE UP
“By the time I was 10, my bedroom looked just like a nightclub. There was a strobe light, coloured spotlights on the walls, a mirrored disco ball on the ceiling, a DJ booth and a dance floor. When I switched on the machines, hundreds of little white stars would dance across my bedroom walls. I only dreamt of one thing: making people dance.”(Electrochoc by Laurent Garnier and David Brun-Lambert - 2015, Rocket 88 publishing)
We are delighted to announce another huge addition to Metropolis Festival 2017, pioneering French DJ Laurent Garnier will play his only Irish show of 2017 and first Dublin show in three years with an intimate two-hour set at the Opening Concert on Saturday, October 28th in the RDS Dublin.
Laurent Garnier has been making the planet dance for almost 30 years. And, for all these years, his
boundless energy has seen him grooving behind record decks, bouncing up and down behind studio equipment and leaping around radio studios. He is a multi-faceted artist whose impact on the music scene is far-reaching. But above all he is a DJ, a true DJ: transformed by music, passionate about the crowd. Bodies move in a trance on the dance floor, minds elsewhere. Yet he is also an explorer of old and new sounds and has an amazingly rich musical culture. He spends most of his spare time sifting through old vinyl in record shops, following the most obscure leads on the internet and listening to every single piece of music he is sent. Music, the pulse of our planet, is his Holy Grail.
One of the pioneering DJs of the dance music scene, Laurent Garnier experienced first-hand the euphoria of the acid-house movement in Manchester. He then went on to Wake Up and shake up Paris nightlife, from La Luna to the Palace, not forgetting the Rex Club. As one of the leading lights in French dance music at the end of the 1980’s, he then spread his message across the planet, from raves to warehouse parties, clubs to festivals. The Excess Luggage 5-CD collection sums up the somewhat hectic life of this globetrotting DJ whose antennae are permanently tuned-in to sounds from around the globe, current trends, and the music of the next generation. At the beginning of 2011, Laurent Garnier was the only Frenchman to be voted one of the top 35 international DJs by readers of the UK magazine Mixmag. One of many accolades for this turntable impresario whose incredible DJ sets blend techno from Detroit and beyond, and mix in hints of jazz, sweltering disco, heart-warming house, African grooves, jungle, dubstep and bass music.
