“A look into the experimental side of his disco synth.”

Italian maestro composer and producer Giorgio Moroder’s seventies album Einzelgänger is being rereleased on vinyl for the first time.

Regarded as the “Father of Disco” Moroder created some of the era’s most popular singles with artist Donna Summer, including ‘I Feel Love’, ‘Love to Love You Baby’, and ‘On The Radio’.

Originally released in 1975 on Moroder’s own Oasis label under his Einzelgänger alias (German for individualist), the 9-track LP was composed, performed and produced by Moroder in collaboration with Reinhold Mack.

Though it failed to achieve commercial success, later that year Summer and Moroder released ‘Love To Love You Baby’ – one of the first hit disco singles to be released as an extended version, and the track that catapulted the duo to international fame.

In 2015, The Vinyl Factory released Moroder and Bruce Sudano’s track ‘Willoughby’ on limited 12″, as part of Doug Aitken and the Barbican’s Station to Station.
