Jarre added to IMS line-up
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 22 March 2013
Organisers of the EDM-focused International Music Summit yesterday announced another keynote in the form of electronic music pioneer Jean Michel Jarre.
Confirming the booking, IMS man Ben Turner told CMU: “A lot of work has gone into landing Jean Michel Jarre. But we are hugely excited to have his attendance. I interviewed him in 1993 for the Melody Maker when electronic DJs like Slam had remixed his work. So it’s been amazing talking to him again about speaking at IMS. He is a true pioneer and his understanding of today’s scene is quite surprising. His understanding of the challenges facing the business is second to none, and his vision for change is also impressive and inspiring”.
Jarre joins the line-up of artist and industry speakers already announced for IMS, which will also this year include a Legends Dinner celebrating a certain Fatboy Slim. It all takes place from 22-24 May in Ibiza, with info at this link.
