California's most elaborate disco celebration.
-------
The father of Disco and pioneer of Electronic Dance Music. Moroder is officially the oldest DJ in the world and a collaborator of the new Daft Punk album, he won 3 Oscars, 3 Golden Globes and 4 Grammys.
An Italian composer from South Tyrol, Moroder made his first steps in music by releasing a few singles under the name "Giorgio" beginning in 1966, singing in Italian, English, and German. He came to prominence in 1969, when his recording "Looky Looky", released on Ariola Records, was awarded a gold disc in October 1970. Often collaborating with lyricist Pete Bellotte, Moroder had a number of hits in his own name including "Son of My Father" in 1972 before releasing the synthesizer-driven From Here to Eternity, a notable chartbuster in 1977, and in the following year releasing "Chase", the theme from the film Midnight Express. These songs achieved some chart success in the UK, the U.S., and across Europe, and everywhere disco-mania was spreading. The full movie score for Midnight Express won him his first Academy Award for best film score in 1978. In 1979, Moroder released his album E=MC². Text on the album's cover stated that it was the "first electronic live-to-digital album." At the 56th Grammy Awards in 2014 he won his 4th Grammy for 'Best Album of the Year' (Random Access Memories).
In summer 2013, Giorgio started to DJ, giving his US debut at the Red Bull Music Academy in New York City. At the same time people started to call him "The Godfather of EDM". He visited London, Ibiza, Los Angeles, Berlin, Vienna, New York, Brazil, Miami, Asheville, Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium, France and many more.
Giorgio is DJing at famous clubs around the world and entertains the fans and party-guests with a video show (Music Videos, Animations). He plays his classics from the 70s and 80s but also new remixes and is preparing a new album.
