In their latest collaborator series, DJ Falcon shares details about growing up with the men of Daft Punk in France.
For the third installment of the Daft Punk collaborator's project, Nile Rodgers talks about his involvement with Daft Punk's latest album. Organic from the start, the collaboration fell together on a whim when both Nile and Thomas and Guy were in New York City. The three hopped into the studio and a short time later they had developed a synergy that he compares to the type of relationships he had with Madonna and Herbie Hancock. Nile also reminisces on his first encounter with the music he would base a career on, Donna Summer's "Love to Love you Baby," a track that set in motion a award-winning career and time spent at the Apollo Theatre. His approach to disco incorporated his jazz fusion background, developing into songs with tight grooves and one-time jazz licks like Chic's breakout hit "Le Freak." Incorporating the same jazz story telling that made him famous, Nile gives us an inside look at the track played by the man himself.
