Giorgio Moroder.


So many people know his music, but ignore his name. The name is Giorgio Moroder. He crafted music for Donna Summer and Blondie, as well as the "Scarface", the "Midnight Express" and the "Top Gun" soundtracks. He inspired the current electronic scene (especially the French one), from Daft Punk to Bob Sinclar, Sébastien Tellier, Kavinsky, Martin Solveig, and many many more.
His way of making music was almost scientific. But he gave everybody the need to dance. 

So, I guess that in recognition to Moroder's huge influence, it is just right that the Red Bull Music Academy had him answering a few questions, as well as the Daft Punk doing the same thing in anticipation to the release of their new album, on which Moroder is featured. A must-seen, a must-read.
