---

Cedric Gervais, a GRAMMY-winning DJ and producer, has made a significant mark in the global dance music scene with chart-topping remixes and original hits, including his GRAMMY-winning remix of Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness.” With residencies in top cities like Las Vegas, New York, and Miami, and Number 1s on platforms like Beatport and Hype Machine, Gervais has become a sought-after name in house music. In addition to his music career, he’s expanded into acting with roles in films like *Pain & Gain* and *The Long Night*. His label, Delecta Records, continues to showcase his work as he remains a fixture in the electronic music world with a busy global tour schedule.

On the flip side we have Nile Rodgers, a Rock & Roll and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, who is a legendary producer and guitarist known for his pioneering work with Chic and his collaborations with icons like David Bowie, Madonna, and Diana Ross. In 2023, Rodgers earned a Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY and another for his work on Beyoncé’s hit “Cuff It.” His enduring influence spans decades, from hits like “Le Freak” and “Good Times” to modern collaborations with artists like Daft Punk and LE SSERAFIM. With over 500 million albums sold, Rodgers remains a vanguard of music innovation.

“4 years ago myself, Franklin and Nile Rogers recreated the single ‘Everybody Dance,’ we had so much fun with the record and when we realized we had an opportunity to recreate ‘We Are Family‘ with Nile and collaborate together, again we jumped at the chance. We got together at Night Bird studio in Los Angeles and recreated the record there and then; Nile‘s love for music is infectious, and the stories he shared during the session were inspiring. This song has such a positive, unifying message and I can’t wait to share it with everyone.” – Cedric Gervais

“It feels like with each passing year, ‘We Are Family‘ and its message becomes more powerful. Black, white, gay, straight, rich, poor, Christian, Muslim, we are all family. To have the opportunity to reimagine it at the request of my friend Cedric Gervais at a point in time when the world needs hope is wonderful, and its purpose is to bring some joy.” – Nile Rodgers

Cedric Gervais and Nile Rodgers have joined forces to reimagine the classic anthem “We Are Family” by Sister Sledge, blending Gervais’ signature big-room house energy with Rodgers’ iconic funk grooves. This new version, released on Armada Music, maintains the timeless essence of the original while adding modern, dancefloor-ready production, complete with pulsing basslines, shimmering synths, and Rodgers’ unmistakable rhythmic guitar. The collaboration brings a fresh yet nostalgic feel, creating a track that bridges the past and present in a seamless fusion of house and soulful funk.

Following Gervais’ summer hit “Switch” with David Guetta, this rework of “We Are Family” further solidifies his role in shaping contemporary dance music. As their second reinterpretation of a classic, after “Everybody Dance” in 2020, Gervais and Rodgers showcase their ability to honor musical legacies while crafting anthems for today’s global audience.
