ELECTROCHOC
Meeting with David Brun-Lambert & Marco Mancassola
Two authors retrace the adventure of electro music and the way it - like rock'n'roll in its day - changed the world. New lifestyles, new access to culture, an explosion of borders and class barriers, a perspective on the power of music through this new genre born in the 80s. With Laurent Garnier, David Brun-Lambert wrote Electrochoc, a cult book retracing the electro adventure. Marco Mancassola, in Last Love Parade, recounts his experiences as a teenager.
