Giorgio by Moroder

Hello and happy new year, I know this place doesn't get a lot of love now, its just occasionally updated when I hear and now see something that piques my interest.

Sky Arts had an interview up with disco legend Giorgio Moroder.  It was quite an insight into the guy and I learnt a few things. That he won three Oscars for various soundtracks including the sublime Chase from Midnight Express.  That he did the music to Scarface and Top Gun (Berlins Take my Breath Away), and a few disco insights too, apparently the original I feel Love didn't have a delay on it, and that Donna Summers parents were really shocked about her faking an orgasm for love to love you.

There is a small clip here and I'll try and root around and see if  the whole thing is uploaded somewhere.

Daft Punk 2

Koala T's version of Daft Punks seminal smash, and it kicks so much ass.

Daft Punk

Nice deep house rework of the Daft Punk / Nile Rogers summer smash Get Lucky.  Incidentally I would love to hear Fred Ventura or some other Italo Disco royalty sing this, hell this would sound better heavily accented.

Specifically Rooftops, I know its been ages since we gave you an update, to be honest I've heard nothing worthwile until now.

We'll link to the video here as its rather special, it shows the making of and the actual song which is some dreamy disco played out on Guitar and various old analogue synths (including an SH101).
