French electronic music has a rich history that has broken through internationally on several occasions. From Jean-Michel Jarre and his pioneering work in the 1970's, to the house and techno parties in the early 90's - which produced future pioneers such as Laurent Garnier and Etienne De Crecy - the scene's richness and diversity also takes in the more down tempo styles of Air and St Germain through to Justice, Daft Punk and Ed Banger. Now Fakear heralds a breakthrough by the next generation of Gallic synthesists.
