Wed, 23 Mar 2011 / 3 CommentsLaurent Garnier and over 40 other producers have donated tracks for a benefit digital compilation put together by German production duo Snuff Crew to raise funds for the Red Cross in Japan.
Finally, here it is! We are so proud and happy that the benefit compilation “Snuff Trax for Japan” finally is finished! Take a look at all the great artists who contributed to this compilation and the marvellous tracklist, we are sure, you will love it! And of course, you help the people of Japan, because we will donate 100% of the profit to the Red Cross. So – please! – buy it! Even if you usually prefer to get your mp3s from *cough* inofficial sources… this time it is really important to buy them and support our project. Thank you very very much in advance! Not only will we love you madly for the rest of our lives, but you will also get lots of carma – of course!
The compilation will come out on March, 23rd and will be available in mp3 stores. As soon as there is a player and a possibility to buy them directly, we will add it here of course.
Our loudest shouts go out to all the great artists and mastering engineers involved in this project – keep in mind: everybody worked completely for free on this project, we really have to praise you!

Wed, 02 Mar 2011 / Post a commentOnly three letters but several different meanings:
"Laurent + Ben + Stephane"………"Live Booth Sessions"……."Loud Bass & Samples"
"After eighteen months on tour with my musicians, I began to realize that I could get as much
pleasure from playing live in a festival as I could from DJ-ing in clubs. Whilst on tour, we
developed a very open style of playing: interacting, improvising, and expressing
ourselves freely, something that I thought I could only achieve through my DJ sets.”
