I want to toss in my vote for the Laurent Garnier podcast as well (from back in June). What's really interesting about him is that, like a lot of DJs, he's obviously updated his sound after 15 years or so, but you can still hear the similarities and it's still very distinctively his sound.
With a lot of veteran DJs, the only real commonality between the old and new material is that it all fits into roughly the same genre. With Laurent, I'm not even sure that there is a specific genre, but there remains this element that's just so singularly twisted and weird (though not in a "WTF" way, more of a "hmmm" way, if that makes any sense).
Listen to a recent mix like the podcast along with one of his Essential Mixes from, say, 1994, and you'll see what I mean. He used to play a lot "harder" and it's intriguing to see how he's applied the same style to a (relatively speaking) minimal, techy set. I'm just trying to figure out if this is actually what he plays now, or if he put together this style of set specially for RA.
