Moroder

Anyone seen video of this? Was he actually pushing any buttons? What was he using? CDJs? Traktor? Or did his “musical director”, mentioned at the start do all the lifting? Enquiring minds yadda yadda…

Despite being a disco legend, Giorgio Moroder had never got behind a pair of decks before. Until last night, that is, when the recent Daft Punk collaborator performed his first ever DJ set live in New York.

Part of the billing for Red Bull Music Academy’s night at Brooklyn club Output, Moroder spun some of his career-long back-catalogue, Donna Summer was in abundance, as well as Random Access Memories track ‘Giorgio by Moroder’.
