ABSTRACT

Introduction Veteran hit producers Giorgio Moroder and Frank Farian have both recently been back in the pop music spotlight. Farian has found renewed success through his jukebox musical ‘Daddy Cool’ (which opened in London in 2006 and subsequently toured Europe). Moroder, having been the subject of (and contributor to) a tribute song by French electro and house specialists Daft Punk (‘Giorgio by Moroder’, from their 2013 album ‘Random Access Memories’), has re-emerged from semi-retirement to work with a wide variety of musicians and release a new album, ‘Déjà Vu’ (2015).
