The 2013 Red Bull Music Academy is currently stationed in New York,
with workshops, panels and of course parties taking over the sleepless
city. On Monday night, at Output in Brooklyn , dancers were treated to a very special session of Francois K’s long-running Deep Space.
As well as a set from the host, there was Giorgio Moroder,
playing what was billed as his first-ever DJ appearance. The legendary
producer rolled out some of his finest moments including Donna Summer’s I Feel Love, Bad Girls, One The Radio and his recent entry on Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories, Giorgio By Moroder. It was recorded for RBMA Radio so you can listen below.
Even better, the New York gig wasn’t a one-off. “I am becoming a DJ…and I don’t know why, really,” Moroder cheerfully told Time Out New York recently, adding that he’s got an agent for DJing and a set booked in Japan. He’s also been working with Avicii, just like fellow Random Access Memories collaborator Nile Rodgers.
“I feel like DJs aren’t just the new stars; the really good ones are so powerful,” Moroder added to Time Out. “I was in Ibiza last summer, and it was incredible. It’s like a conductor, telling the musicians, ‘Go slow now. Go loud now.’ DJs are doing the same thing. I’m not there yet, but I hope it will happen.”
