Nile Rodgers: The Chic Organisation - Up All Night (Greatest Hits) | Release: 26.07.13

NILE RODGERS is a small universe unto himself: master of the guitar, extraordinary producer, top-notch talent scout, and the hippest man on earth. In 1976, he founded the Chic Organization with bassist Bernard Edwards, which became one of the most significant musical networks, producing world stars like Chic, Diana Ross, Sister Sledge, Sheila & B. Devotion, and many others. Even this year, he ensured that the Daft Punk album Random Access Memories and the single Get Lucky consistently reached number 1 on the charts worldwide as a producer. Because the mega success sounds, not least, thanks to a guitar riff from Nile Rodgers, like a modern stroke of genius from the disco veterans of Chic, as music journalist Christoph Dallach aptly noted in SpiegelOnline.
With Nile Rodgers presents: The Chic Organization - Up All Night (The Greatest Hits), a double album featuring 25 tracks will be released on July 26, showcasing absolute dance highlights and achievements from NILE RODGERS at the perfect time for the revival of the disco sound.

"Le Freak- c’est chic!" is the core line of the ultimate party hit that has become the trademark of a band without which funk, disco, hip-hop, and soul would not sound as they do today. The dry, funky, and incredibly pointed sound became the program for NILE RODGERS. Throughout his career, he not only catapulted the Motown stars of the 70s and 80s to the heights of pop Olympus. RODGERS also left his mark on David Bowie's album Let’s Dance, refined Madonna's Like A Virgin, and made Duran Duran's The Reflex a worldwide success – to name just a few of the most important ones.

Anyone looking at the track listing of Nile Rodgers presents: The Chic Organization - Up All Night (The Greatest Hits) will see a list of pure cult: Not only do the Chic hits like "Le Freak", "Good Times", and "Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah Yowsah Yowsah)!" make the selected compilation sparkle, but also a plethora of other legendary projects reveal RODGERS' immense talent: "We Are Family" and "He’s The Greatest Dancer" by Sister Sledge, "Upside Down" and "I’m Coming Out" by Diana Ross, the 12-inch remix of Sheila & B. Devotion's "Spacer", Debbie Harry's "Backfire" (also in the 12-inch remix), and of course "Saturday" by Chic singer Norma Jean Wright.

Anyone who does not want to escape the search-dangerous sound of Nile Rodgers can also rely on a sensational 4-CD box. Recently released under the title Savoir Fair, this comprehensive compilation gathers a total of 46 remastered tracks across four discs and includes a 20-page booklet with liner notes written by Rodgers himself. In addition to the revised original material, Savoir Fair contains rare and previously unreleased recordings, outtakes, new mixes, and five remixes from the hands of the French cult DJ Dimitri From Paris.

Nile Rodgers presents: The Chic Organization - Up All Night (The Greatest Hits) will be released physically and digitally on July 26
