Now that Giorgio Moroder’s gotten a second lease on life via a Daft Punk interview and a Studio 54-styled Vegas show, it’s time for younger dance fans to rediscover another undisputed don of the early disco scene: French pioneer Cerrone. Best known for his smash “Love In C Minor” single and richly orchestrated Supernature record, the drummer/producer/composer is the subject of an upcoming reissue campaign through Because Music. Aside from bringing his finest LPs back into print, the Parisian imprint has put together a two-disc compilation of Cerrone’s finest work and remixes from such esteemed beat makers as A-Trak, Dimitri From Paris, and today’s pristine self-titled premiere from the one and only Alan Braxe. It’s so on-point it left us lusting after “Music Sounds Better With You,” the modern day masterpiece Braxe cut with one-half of Daft Punk way back in 1998.
Have a listen down below, and look out for the rest of Because Music’s best-of on January 20th…
