Jarremix. How Jean Michel Jarre introduced ravers to his music in the early ‘90s

In 1992, it turned out that in Europe (and especially in the UK) a new independent scene of electronic music appeared. At the time, Jarre was working on Chronologie, where he came back to the sound of his first albums made in 70s while trying to add new cool features from the 90s. He was encouraged by the enormous raves and was satisfied with the position of club business on the scene. The only problem was that he wasn’t involved in this. In the two years that had passed since his previous album in 1990, when all these attempts of new musicians to do something with equipment had looked like a childish game, the overall sound of the scene had become cleaner, denser, deeper and more professional. The genres are just a convention and journalists can’t even count the attempts to give a name to musical experiments.
