Nile Rodgers has confirmed that there is another collaboration with Daft Punk on the cards - this time to work on new material of his influential disco band, Chic. Watch the interview with Rodgers below. 

In an interview with DJAZZtv, Rodgers spoke of his plans to work with his fellow 'Get Lucky' stars on releasing unheard Chic tracks. 

“I found in the Warner tape library, some old, unreleased Chic masters that didn’t belong to them that were in boxes that said Chic," he said. "But when you opened them up they had Johnny Mathis inside, my film scores, they had Nile Rodgers solo tracks, they had Chic tracks that were not designed for any project except for the guys working with me writing songs

"So, I’m going to finish that, and this is an exclusive: Daft Punk wants to do at least one of the with me, because they respect the music, they understand.”

This will be good news for fans of the French dance duo, after wild rumours of Daft Punk performing a secret set or appearing with Nile Rodgers at Glastonbury festival failed to materialise. 

Rodgers and Daft Punk's collaboration on their latest album, Random Access Memories, saw the hugely successful 'Get Lucky' go on to become the UK's first million selling single of 2013.
