Italo disco pioneer and electronic music legend Giorgio Moroder is teaming up with producer Raney Shockne to compose the forthcoming soundtrack for USA’s crime drama Queen Of The South, which stars Alice Braga, Peter Gadiot, and Veronica Falcon. The duo last worked together in 2016 on the soundtrack for Disney’s Tron RUN/r video game. Moroder is known for his contributions to Cat People, Midnight Express, Scarface, and Flashdance, among others, as well as his Grammy-winning work on Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories.
The Queen Of The South score marks Moroder’s return to TV and film scoring after over three decades. Today we hear the album’s lead single “Moyocoyotzin.” Their electro-noir concoction blends retro synthesizers with classical and Latin stylings. The crashing bass and firing synths melt into an eerie strings arrangement. Listen below.
Giorgio Moroder completed his first ever live tour in 2019 - now it’s time again to experience his disco decade! This definitive collection brings together recordings from the legendary disco producer who put the late, great Donna Summer on the map, and whose talents as composer, performer and producer led to Grammy and Academy awards and numerous collaborations with many artists worldwide.
