Joachim Garraud is credited with ushering in the first wave of French techno and has gone on to consistently produce innovative, raucous club music, finding kinship with the likes of both David Guetta and Jean-Michel Jarre. His flamboyant style and larger-than-life stage presence have made him one of the most sought-after acts on the club circuit, with thousands flocking to his live shows. Favouring heavy beats, squealing synths and left-field samples, he masterfully conjures huge builds and heavy drops from a polychromatic palette of riffs and rhythms.
