So this may be a bit preliminary, but the interwebs are abuzz today about some recent comments from disco pioneer Nile Rodgers regarding his recent time spent with prolific dance duo Daft Punk. After scoring the soundtrack for 20112s Tron Legacy with Hans Zimmer, many fans have been anxious to know if we can expect more original material from our favorite French robots soon. Well we may have our first clue as to what to expect, and the news seems pretty good. Apparently the boys arrived at Nile's house recently for a jam session, and the [...]

Chic's Nile Rogers has hinted at a collaboration with French electronic duo Daft Punk . When speaking with Houstons Culture Map he dropped the bombshell by saying "Those guys are great. They're coming to my apartment on Monday and we're going to talk about making a new record together". All of which could collide on a new album from the robot-two! The Madonna producer also dropped some charming backlog on the entangled past of the two music acts blogging "We've briefly met before when they were doing some sort of listening party [...]

Last night Nile Rodgers revealed in a online interview that he was going to be meeting Daft Punk to discuss their 4th studio album, with the two electronic pioneers wanting to experiment with R&B and funk for their next album. Now, if this turns out to be true then it would probably be the most important music news of 2012 - and from what Nile has posted on his blog today it would appear to be true as he is meeting our two favourite robots in New York today. Nile said on his blog: "Today I'm [...]
Por Federico Moreno Uno de los instrumentos que ha cobrado mayor importancia en los últimos 30 años es el sampler . Sin ánimos de aburrir con una reseña de tecnología musical (con permiso de los geeks y adictos al hardware para la producción musical), y a riesgo de que me lleven preso por esquemático, podría definirlo como el que dotó a la música contemporánea de un banco de sonidos ilimitado y sorprendente, como es la totalidad de la música grabada durante más o menos los últimos 100 años.

On repeat... has been played this edit. I don't know nothing about the guy ( Funkyjaws ) that made this beauty edit. I only know he is from Belarus and i know that i have been listening to this since i found it. This is a classic from 1972 from Chic called "I Want Your Love". If you are a Disco lover, you can't miss this masterpiece. My advice for you is to listen to it with good speakers. The bass, it's all about the bass.... Chic - I Want Your Love (Funkyjaws Re-Edit) [...]
Here's a little Peruvian gem Platurn recently unearthed... One of the scores down in Lima over the holidays (was pretty beat -- cleaned it up as best as possible). Don't know anything about its origins but Chic is spelled Chick and it's obviously a cover albeit the music is very close to the original, sens the lazy drawl of the female vocals which is all kinds of awesome. Despite its overpopularity, i've always been a fan of this song and I love hearing alternates done in other countries (put a Cantonese? one on [...]
We all love Chic. Even if you don't know it, I assure you, you love Chic.

Hoe langer we bestaan, hoe meer mail we krijgen. En dat levert leuke dingen op. Vorige maand mailden Barry en Brent, twee Nederlandse gasten die onder de naam Tesla55 opereren. In hun mail hadden ze het over een aantal namen die zij goed vonden en waar ik al eerder over blogde ( Chromeo , Madeon en Miami Horror ). Alle reden dus om hun muziek even te checken. Ze weten wat ze doen, is het eerste wat in me opkomt. Leuke remixen, nog weinig eigen werk en vooral een uiteenlopende keuze in het [...]

Photography: Joseph T Denyer ( https://twitter.com/#!/jos ephtden ) The Warehouse Project turned into a bit of soap-opera this weekend as techNo DJ Jeff Mills declared that he wouldn't be playing on Saturday. Rather than telling WHP and the promoters he took to Facebook explained his no show was due to a disagreement with a third party booking agent who had been accused of racism. Now, there's no suggestion that this had anything to do WHP in any way. But, regardless of Mills' reasons he behaved in a [...]
I'm (Pieter) going up to Manchester tomorrow for The Warehouse Project. Definitely, for me, the best line-up of the year put together by Simian Mobile Disco - Chic, Jeff Mills, Feel My Bicep , Cutloose , & among others friend of the blog Will Tramp! I was struggling to think of a track to sum-it-all-up when I remembered this gem from Jamie Bull . Hope you enjoy, if you're there - see you at the front!

Le Passant, jeune [...]
We adore bands that push the boundaries and we regularly punt artists that are trying to create something new and interesting at the cutting edges of music. Really we do. However, today's recommendation have no such intention. Some designs are so perfect to start with that there's no point searching for unnecessary changes - that's just change for change's sake. New York's hot new disco collective, Escort , are making the musical equivalent of the wheel, so perfect and well-crafted are their disco hits that there's absolutely zero need for any re-invention of the genre. This is pimped-up, stacked-heels-disco [...]
