It happened one night in October 1987. One year before it, then a 20 year old house music\u00a0charmeur fran\u00e7ais<\/em>, had arrived to Manchester (following a girl, as often). He had been wondering\u00a0around the restaurants of\u00a0Altrincham, South Manchester and spreading his mixtapes all around the city, until one of them fell into the hands and ears\u00a0of Ha\u00e7ienda’s boss, Tony Wilson, who was\u00a0thinking of\u00a0starting a new party.<\/p>\n

On October 7, Laurent Garnier stood behind the decks of the legendary club for\u00a0the first time under the alias DJ Pedro<\/strong>:\u00a0“The evening was called Zumbar<\/strong> and the idea was to play different things in\u00a0the weekend programme. House music had not\u00a0exploded\u00a0yet.” <\/em>Laurent Garnier continues: “So we played a lot of hip-hop, Hi-NRG, the ancestor of house and techno. I even have the tapes of the evening still. That was the time of S’Express, Joe Smooth, and the song ‘Promised Land’ … The biggest hit was ‘Pump Up The Volume’ M | A | R | R | S.\u00a0Everyone went crazy when I\u00a0played it. <\/em>”<\/p>\n

The beginning of the fame and glory\u00a0for Laurent came hand in hand with the\u00a0pivotal period for electronic music. Garnier explains:<\/p>\n

“I don’t have exact memories of me playing\u00a0the decks per se, but those\u00a0nights were all about discovering the titles, observing, being\u00a0on the dance floor, watching the scene exploded. I arrived in Manchester in 1986. And between 1986 and 88, I saw England switch. Initially, it was the time of Chicago house, black culture, based on dance, ‘jacking’. Guys were making circles, it was hard to go home. It went from the black audience only, who listened to house music, to a white audience, who were following it in the poor suburbs of Manchester. Then came the ecstasy and acid house exploded. Ha\u00e7ienda was rocking in space for\u00a0five months. The city was already seething when I arrived, but afterwards it was a sick thing. ” <\/em>The rest is history.<\/p>\n

This video\u00a0which is taken from a french cultural show, which talks about raving as the brand new thing in England, shows Laurent telling on the music and the legendary club in exact those times of the matter. It is really\u00a0amusing to watch people still discovering their ways to rock the music.<\/p>\n
