Giorgio Moroder brought a very European aesthetic to black American dance grooves. Although Italian by upbringing, Moroder did most of his work in Munich and the influence of Düsseldorf’s Kraftwerk can be heard in his work for Donna Summer, which includes two of the ultimate disco anthems, “I Feel Love” and “Love to Love You Baby.”
In his 2013 Red Bull Music Academy lecture, he discusses his earliest recordings, his favourite synthesizers, working with Donna Summer, and more.

This was motorik music: spacious, trippy, ever-lasting, far removed from the relentless bounce of most disco. He was also a supreme composer of soundtracks, scoring an unlikely success with “The Chase,” the theme from Midnight Express. His footprints are all over British synth-pop, from Pet Shop Boys to New Order to Human League— and it was with the latter’s Phil Oakey that he got his biggest self-credited hit, “Together In Electric Dreams” in 1984.
