Nile Rodgers: "They were cooler than I thought"

Episode three of The Creator’s Project’s The Collaborators series features the legendary Nile Rodgers giving his account of his time working on Daft Punk’s new album Random Access Memories.

In the video Nile says: “They were cooler than I thought. The best collaborations in my life are when the people you work with are as good as you expect and then even better than that. You realise that the person brings more to the party because you inspire that other artist to go to another level, as do you.”

Daft Punk release Random Access Memories on April 20 via their new label Columbia Records.
