The pioneer of disco and EDM, Giorgio Moroder sees his first solo album in 30 years, Déjà vu released tomorrow. The 75-year-old songwriter and producer has worked on hits with Donna Summer, Freddie Mercury, David Bowie and countless other influential musicians over the years. Déjà vu, due for release on June 12, has an impressive list of features as well as collaborators including Sia, Charli XCX, Mikky Ekko, Australia's own Kylie Minogue, Matthew Koma, Foxes, Kelis, Marlene and Britney Spears.

This album is set to solidify Moroder’s return to contemporary music, which started in 2013 with his contribution to Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories.

Two singles thus far have been taken from the album to radio, Right Here, Right Now featuring Kylie Minogue and title track Déjà vu featuring Sia.
