Nile Rodgers

With Random Access Memories, they said something to me that blew me away.

They said that they wanted to do an album as if the internet never existed.

I get to the studio and there was nobody there except for Tomang and Giman.

I said to Tomas, man, you're standing exactly where Bernard Edwards was when we recorded our first hit.

They were so surprised to find that we cut our first record, Electric Lady.

They specifically asked me, how did you make Chic records?

And I said, well, it's funny that you say that because we're actually recording in the studio on H Street that we recorded the very first Chic's hit single, which was Dance Dance Dance Yowza Yowza.

And I said, well, here's how we do it.

So I took the song apart and basically rewrote it.

And then everybody else then played to what I did.
