Bob
Sinclar's Cerrone
by Justin Kleinfeld
From behind his drum set, he set the disco beat in America
and Europe, becoming the first French disco superstar and
giving rise to Modern-day artists like Daft Punk, Groove
Armada and Bob Sinclar – all who have sampled his
work. We now present you with Cerrone’s greatest tracks
mixed together by one of today’s hottest dance music
talents.
New York – French Producer Cerrone is one of the
originators of disco. In 1976, his epic “Love In C
Minor” became a breakout hit, selling more than 3
million copies worldwide. His follow-up release “Supernature”
was another smash and went on to sell 8 million copies.
In total, Cerrone has sold over 30 million records worldwide.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Cerrone’s top
productions and his role in igniting the global dance phenomenon,
Recall Records will reissue this artists most celebrated
albums – “Love In C Minor,” “The
Golden Touch,” “Cerrone’s Paradise,”
“Cerrone 3” and “Hysteria.” In addition
to these vital reissues, Recall will also release –
for the first time in North America - “Cerrone By
Bob Sinclar;” a wonderful introduction to Cerrone’s
body of work and the perfect way to connect the dots between
classic disco and today’s dance music. This historical
release has already sold over one million copies in Europe.
“Cerrone By Bob Sinclar” is more than a retrospective
of Cerrone’s career or a remix project. Although some
of the tracks here have benefited from a slight facelift
(“Major Sea,” ”Striptease,” Love
Is The Answer” and “Rollercoaster”), Most
of them are actually presented in their original version.
Spanning Cerrone’s three most creative years, between
1976’s “Love In C Minor” and 1979’s
“Angelina,” this album is a refreshing look
back at some of the most exciting disco tracks ever released.
Highlights include the beautiful “Love In C Minor,”
“Cerrone’s Paradise,” “Living On
Love,” “Look For Love” and “Supernature.”
With this album, Bob Sinclar pays a flamboyant homage to
the man who has been one of the main sources of inspiration
for him over the years. In fact, it’s likely that
without Cerrone there wouldn’t be a Bob Sinclar today.
This rings true for other artists Cerrone has inspired including
Daft Punk , Groove Armada and Modjo, to name a few.
In addition to his productions, Cerrone also produces some
of the largest dance events in the world and draws hundreds
of thousands of fans at a time. This fall, Cerrone will
celebrate his 30-year anniversary with a party and live
performance at a major New York City venue. This precedes
a mega dance party to be produced by Cerrone and Nile Rodgers
(in conjunction with NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg), scheduled
for fall 2007.
Cerrone is the recipient of 1 Golden Globe as Best producer
and 5 Billboard Golden Awards and has worked with artists
as diverse as Lionel Richie, Paul McCartney, Donna Summer,
Armand Van Helden, Frankie Knuckles and Danny Tenaglia.
