Mr. Supernature AKA Marc Cerrone or simply Cerrone (if you're a fan of brevity) has been a pillar of glittery four-to-the-floor disco anthems for nearly 4o years now. If you're not familiar with the drummer, producer, composer, francofunkateer amongst countless other titles and roles, he's kind of a gawd, on par with Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers and the like. I mean, this is the guy that brought the funk to the pop-perfect chops of HAIM's "If I Could Change Your Mind" well before Ronson an Mars were heating up the floors and the world with their uptown sound.

Luckily for us all, Pitchfork has gathered raw concert footage and interview with Rodgers, Bob Sinclar, Dave Haslam and the man himself (who chalks-up his fascination with electric music numbers to seeing Jimi Hendrix perform live in Paris as a teenager) to delve into the mans incalculable contribution to the DNAs of dance floor freakers and pop music alike (sampling years before it was adopted as hip-hop's hammer and nail) and how he came to be so cherished by the greater funk cannon. Watch Pitchfork's short, but potent Cerrone doc below.
