STREAM: Giorgio Moroder DJ Set

On Monday night, at Output in Brooklyn, as part of the 2013 Red Bull Music Academy, dancers were treated to a very special session of Francois K’s long-running Deep Space, this included the first ever DJ appearance from Giorgio Moroder.   After a vocodered intro, The legendary producer rolled through his back catalogue of hits 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.   This was motorik music: spacious, trippy, ever-lasting, far removed from the relentless bounce of most disco and it was all recorded for RBMA Radio so you can listen below. 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.  “I feel like DJs aren’t just the new stars; the really good ones are so powerful,” Moroder added toTime 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.”
