The Underground Sound of Paris

Told through the eyes of the characters who created, germinated and spawned the scene over twenty years ago – Laurent Garnier, D’Julz, DJ Deep, Nick V and the former Minister of Culture, Jack Lang – to current rave mavericks – Concrete, 75021 at 6B, Francois X, Antigone and Djebali – they lead us through the journey from Paris’ roots in African rhythms and Jazz, to the 90s electronic explosion including the inaugural Techno Parade, through to the current anti-establishment DIY party ethic of the scene today.
