Nile Rodgers has become the latest Daft Punk collaborator to discuss his experience of working on the duo’s Random Access Memories album, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
Speaking in Episode 7 of Daft Punk’s Memory Tapes series, Rodgers recalls that his first encounter with Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo came when he attended a listening party to mark the release of their 1997 debut album, Homework, where he learned that the record was to be dedicated to his late Chic bandmate Bernard Edwards, who had died the year before (a Chic record sleeve actually features in the album’s artwork).
