THIS. THIS IS MAJOR.
If you’re one of the seven billion of us who didn’t get tickets to Giorgio Moroder’s live DJ set in NYC last night, you can already stream it! After a staggeringly prolific and influential career as music producer, it seems Giorgio may have a new DJ career ahead of him at age 73 (and I thought I started late).
This clearly isn’t a vinyl-only set, and Giorgio’s accompanied by an assistant … but he’s not phoning this in. He’s layering, looping, filtering a retrospective that doesn’t just center on Donna Summer and his solo releases, but The Three Degrees, Sparks, and even a Rodion remix get some love. While Giorgio says the master tapes to much of this material are lost, much of what you hear is also pre-remixed; sometimes even so clear and lush compared to even the best original vinyl and modern compressed digital audio, so he clearly has been able to reconfigure these tracks and sometimes reduce them down to the bare minimum and still have them sounding rich and juicy.
You can also hear how invigorated he is at this appearance, when he pauses to speak to the audience towards the end.
Trust me – YOU WILL BE, TOO.
