After a 30 year hiatus, the legendary disco producer Giorgio Moroder will be releasing a solo album in 2015. Giorgio has enlisted Britney Spears, Sia, Charli XCX, Kylie Minogue, Mikky Ekko as collaborators which should produce interesting results. According to Giorgio Moroder, it's all about the music:
"Dance music doesn’t care where you live,” Moroder said of the new track. “It doesn’t care who your friends are. It doesn’t care how much money you make. It doesn't care if your 74 or if you are 24 because... 74 is the new 24!” (Source: Billboard)
To coincide with the album announcement, you can listen to his first single "74 is the new 24" right now by clicking here.
Giorgio Moroder is 73 years old but he didn't let his age stop him from playing his first ever DJ set the other night in New York City. If you want to hear some funky, disco type of set that includes the works of Kraftwerk, Donna Summer, Pet Shop Boys and more, head over to this link for a listen.
For those searching for any new Daft Punk news, then today is a good day as The Creators Project, an alliance between Intel and Vice, has launched a new series that interviews the collaborators behind Daft Punk's upcoming album Random Access Memories which will be released on May 21st. The first collaborators episode features Giorgio Moroder, the Grammy winning artist who gained fame during the disco era when he collaborated big names such as Donna Summer:
My favourite quote from the video that reveals a tiny bit of how Random Access Memories will sound, Moroder said "they [Daft Punk] had to do something which is different, still dance, still electronic, but give that human touch back".
I'm really looking forward to what Daft Punk has in store for us on May 21st.
Bonus news: Chilly Gonzales, one of the rumoured collaborators for Random Access Memories, had this to say on Twitter upon hearing the full album for the first time:
