Ludovic Navarre aka St Germain, Pioneer of the French Touch, the new electronic music of France, has become an indisputable and respected reference on the international music scene. Without him, Daft Punk, AIR, and Dimitri From Paris would probably still be playing parties out in the French sticks.

I was thrilled to pick up his legendary Tourist LP (2000) on Blue Note in my local shop and thought that surely nothing could top this classic.
Then came this mind-blowing s/t LP in 2015. Here, Navarre expertly blends electronic, folk, world, & country, West African Mande music, future jazz, downtempo, and deep house into an energetic but smooth set which rivals his previous epic.
Exciting stuff.
