    If you like dance music of any kind and aren’t familiar with Cerrone, it’s time to get back to basic… and I’m here to help!

    111204-Cerrone 

    French drummer, composer and producer Cerrone is best known as a pioneer of disco music in the 70s and early 80s.  His sound later branched out into pop-rock and electronica, fed on collaborations with top international musicians and singers, and was staged into large-scale “event” concerts around the world in the late 80s and 90s.  He’s enjoyed continued international success in the new millennium and is often cited as a major influence by the top dance artists and DJs of today...

    In an interview with Time Magazine published this week, Sting says “I don't think there's such a thing as composition in pop music. I think what we do in pop music is collate. […] I'm a good collator.”
