This is Ludovic Navarre - otherise known as St. Germain, Deepside, DS and
probably some others too. He's recorded mainly for ex-label FNAC and F
Communications. His old DS/Deepside techno releases are amazing (Derrick
May loves them too - he said a while back that Navarre was one of the
true current innovators), as are his fluffy house St. Germain 12"s. His
recent releases have been the _Boulevard_ 3-part 12"s (compiled on one
CD) and his forthcoming remix pack of _Alabama Blues_. This guy is *good*
- my only quibble is that he has now practically disowned his techno
releases to concentrate purely on the house/jazz side of things...
A quick, patchy discog:
St. Germain : Motherland EP (FNAC)
...that Modus Vivendi Warp 12"
Nuages : Blanc EP (F Comms)
...some tracks on the brilliant FNAC compilation
St. Germain : Boulevard (F Comms) - also released as 3 12"s
DS : Volume 1 (F Comms)
DS : Volume 2 (F Comms)
...a Deepside 12" on FNAC
...probably some more I've missed...
He's also helped out Laurent Garnier and Shazz on some of their releases too.
Hope this helps,
