French musician and producer Ludovic Navarre, better known as St Germain, has announced a Europe-wide tour in November including a London date at The Troxy on November 17th. The tour will support the release of a new album. 

St Germain quickly gained a reputation for his clever re-invention of jazz and fusion with club beats in the early 1990s. His hit ‘Rose Rouge’ remains a firm favourite from his time with Blue Note Records. Last year he produced an acclaimed remix of Gregory Porter's 'Musical Genocide'.

Now signed with the Nonesuch label and has announced the release of a self-titled album, his first in 15 years. Recorded in Paris it is inspired by his love of Malian music. It is due for release in October 2015.

Today saw the release of 'Real Blues', the first offering from the new album.
