Joachim Garraud
Coming to you from the first club in France to discover the techno music genre – Joachim Garraud is here to share his international remixing talent with you right here at Sutra on December 6th! His unique skills originally as a musician allow him to put on a show like no other DJ – get ready for this Thursday night to “Bang Bang”!

Born in Nantes on September 27th, 1968. After having perfected his piano and percussions for seven years at the conservatory, he decided to move toward electronic music. Along with Laurent Garnier, he started to DJ at The Boy, the Parisian club that first initiated the discovery of the techno phenomenon in France. He then successfully tried some music production with Maxximum radio station, number one national 100% dance radio station (CTL group).
Becoming the pioneer of numerical music, he created his own recording studio in the middle of Paris, which allowed him to remix, compose or produce artists such as David Guetta, Jean-Michel Jarre, Paul Johnson, Deep Dish, David Bowie, OMD, Kylie Minogue, Mylène Farmer, Cassius, Ceronne, Moby, Robbie Rivera and many more.
Joachim developed a new concept, blending DJing and musical improvisation, thus giving a true concert, a unique live performance which soon gave him the opportunity to perform all over the World. Today, a big community surrounds him with the Space Invader mascot.
2012- The track "My Boyfriend is A Robot" is released as a single and comes with 11 remixes for DJs who love girls who like robots. The video clip, shot by Jonathan Pierrodon is released just days after.
The album "Hillside West" designed and produced by Joachim Garraud and Alesia ranks directly number one in sales in iTunes (electronic music ranking) the week of its release. The show MixMove in Paris is an opportunity for Joachim Garraud to show to the visitors an iPhone app "Frequent Clubber" addressed to club owners.
In April Joachim Garraud celebrated the 20th anniversary of FG DJ Radio at the “Grand Palais” in Paris in front of over 6000 people attending a new version of the Invasion Show. "We are the future" is selected by Pioneer as a soundtrack to advertise the new brand of headphones, the HDJ-1500.
Joachim Garraud produces with Pascal Lemaire aka "Skalp" the album "Dream" for the hotel chain "Hôtels & Préférence". 12 exclusive tracks, both lounge and funky, in this compilation.
Joachim Garraud creates the label "Space Invader Music" with the first relase to be his collab with JD Davis on the track “Can’t Stop Love” and plans to release two songs with Perry Farrel ("Calling her", "I Have everything"). He also has plans with his partner Chris Willis to release a track called "One Life" in summer 2012.
