Chic mastermind Nile Rodgers has been firmly back in the frame this year, collaborating with Daft Punk on three tracks from Random Access Memories, Disclosure, Giorgio Moroder and now… Krystal Klear?
It’s welcome news from where we’re sitting: Krystal Klear’s blend of house and disco seems to get better with every release, and he’s also an excellent DJ – check his FACT mix for proof. Rodgers and Klear spent last night in the studio, and have been making sure the world knows about it through Twitter. “Can’t believe I wrote a belter with the man @nilerodgers last night”, Klear Tweeted this morning, while Jessie Ware and Chic keyboardist Selan will also feature on the track.
Last year, Krystal Klear picked out 10 disco classics for FACT. You can read that piece here, and our run-down of Nile Rodgers’ most overlooked collaborations here.
