Daft Punk random access memories

At the recent Jazz à Vienne Festival, Chic frontman (and all round disco-legend) Nile Rodgers let slip a little exclusive – there may well be a further Daft Punk collaboration in the pipeline.

Speaking candidly in a short interview with DJAZZ.tv, the musician reveals that during a recent visit to [record label] Warner’s tape library, Rodgers stumbled on some old unreleased Chic masters that were not actually owned by the label. Within the ‘box of tricks’, Rodgers reveals that some of the masters found were never actually attached to any specific project… exclusively the singer/songwriter continues by saying that Daft Punk may be wanting to use the masters for a future release.

It’s an exciting time to be hearing this; Nile Rodgers has been taking Chic on a tour round Europe of late, bringing party after party to the likes of Glastonbury all the way to Barclaycard’s British Summer Time last weekend. The thought of a fresh collaboration between the dance duo (whose latest LP Random Access Memories featured Rodgers-produced summer anthem Get Lucky) and the funk master certainly gets us salivating again!
