Legendary music producers Giorgio Moroder and Nile Rodgers have further solidified speculation at this years International Music Summit in Ibiza that French Electro legends Daft Punk are to release their fourth studio album.
Moroder revealed during day three of IMS that he had recently joined Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter in the studio, with Rodgers detailing his own studio encounters with the duo earlier during the conference. While Moroder described the events that surrounded their collaborative efforts to the packed-out conference, Rodgers said that he would leave Daft Punk to reveal more information about the material, but suggested ‘That shit is amazing’ when asked about the new material.
Speculation had already started to gather earlier this year after award winning musician and composer Paul Williams announced after the premier of his Paul Williams: Still Alive documentary that he had worked with Daft Punk on some material that will be used on the duos new album. As reported by Pitchfork.com earlier this year, Daft Punk have also approached Noah Lennox a.k.a Panda Bear with a potential collaboration offer.
Homem-Christo and Bangalter last emerged from the shadows to score the soundtrack to Disney’s Tron: Legacy film in 2010 and have been vacant from the live circuit since their surprise appearance at Madison Square Garden that year.
Fast forward to 2:20 for the Nile Rodgers interview and to 4:10 for the Giorgio Moroder interview.

Anton says:
Michael: This article focuses on what surfaced during this year’s IMS two days ago. Mainly on the fact that Giorgio Morodor has contributed to the album – something that you didn’t know before Friday’s conference in Ibiza. If you read the article, it even says that some details were revealed earlier this year.
Ricky says:
Lol @ ”Michael.” Sometimes I wonder if some people even think before they comment on something…. Awesome news by the way. Giorgio Moroder is a god!
Justin says:
Heard from a friend that he heard a reliable source tell him daft punk is going to EDC LV… anyone else hear this rumor? it would be the perfect time
and place… and edc has definitely been holding back a lot this year.
Marcus says:
One does not simply release an album same year as Daft Punk.
Jewbean says:
Eric Prydz album sucked. Leja the only cool track, and everything else I’d heard a zillion times before. Daft Punk will come out with fresh material none of your virgin ears have heard before.
Not to knock Eric I fucken love his productions, just want new material not 2009 stuff.
Jewbean says:
fyi Prydz album just a money grab.
Felipe Lima says:
amazing news !
and i thought that the Pryda album was the best news of the year!
by the way 2012 seems that is the year for the electronic music \o/
cheers from brazil
Dave S. says:
Keep in mind that this was just the Pryda album, and that the full scale Eric Prydz album is coming out this autumn.
Hector says:
@Jewbean if you expect to much from this album there’s a chance you might be disapointed, even if it’s daft punk
Lloyd Copper says:
I wonder if this ol disco horse would like this album? I love Giorgio and Nile but I haven’t bought a modern release in years. I have almost given up on modern music so maybe I should check this out??
