Something really special went down at Output in Brooklyn on Monday night. In the run-up to the gig, Giorgio cheerfully told Timed Out New York: “I am becoming a DJ…and I don’t know why, really,” adding ,“I feel like DJs aren’t just the new stars; the really good ones are so powerful. 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.”
The father of Eurodisco has gotten an agent for DJing, and has already a set booked in Japan, where he's got a vast number of fans. On a different note, he's also been working with Avicii, the Nile Rodgergs protigée.
The DJ set below was recorded as the first-ever by Moroder. With a spectrum of life-time achievements, he played the game-changing Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love', in addition to 'Bad Girls' and 'One The Radio.
"The man, the myth, the legend: The one and only Giorgio Moroder with his first-ever DJ set, captured live at Deep Space in NYC," reads the intro at Red Bull Music Academy. Enjoy!
