Giorgio Moroder - Diamonds (featuring Charli XCX)

This one certainly isn’t a rough cut. Take two distinctive voices, namely Breaking More Waves favourite finger-in-the-air f*ck you popster Charli XCX and what sounds like a Texas Instruments Speak & Spell speech synthesizer, add in some pumping electronic production courtesy of the master Giorgio Moroder (but you can call him just Giorgio) and you’ve got yourself a gem of a song that will probably make you want to strip down to your underwear and dance around the bedroom like you’ve had a little too many vodka chasers. It’s the perfect combination of old and young, retro and future, electronica and pop, and of course, Charli and Giorgio.

Giorgio Moroder - 74 Is The New 24

“My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio.”

Oh gosh. We’d better have a little sit down. Giorgio by Moroder from Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories was fantastic enough, but now things just got a whole lot better and a whole lot bigger. The king of the disco synth is returning properly with a new album.

If you’ve spent any time on Breaking More Waves you’ll probably have seen Moroder’s name crop up multiple times in reference points; recent examples include Indiana and Salt Ashes. Today no reference is required – he returns. Not only is he back with a belting piece of robot disco called 74 Is The New 24 that gives both Daft Punk and Kraftwerk a run for their money but there’s an album to follow next year that includes the likes of Charli XCX! Britney! Kylie! Foxes! It really as if we’re living together in electric dreams. 

Someone tell us that this is real please. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G Ladies and gentlemen, surrender yourselves to Giorgio Moroder.
