Giorgio Moroder - Tony's Theme (Scarface 30th Anniversary Remix)

We recently shared with you Giorgio Moroder‘s remix to Haim’s “Forever,” now the disco guru takes a slice out of the iconic gangster film Scarface and presents “Tony’s Theme.” Celebrating the film’s 30th anniversary, Moroder presents a dark, somber number that flaunts his retro production efforts. Blending synthwave motifs with that of house and electro, the nostalgic track is met with a sample from Tony Montana’s trademark line at the drop. Moroder recently shared the film’s score with EW:

I wanted something a little bit mysterious, because this character is very complex and kind of mysterious coming from Cuba.

“I wanted it to have a little bit of a classical feel in the sequence of the chords. The idea came from a German half-classical singer called Klaus Nomi. He had one song where he did a very high voice, a staccato, a little bit like Laurie Anderson on ‘O Superman.’ Those two songs kind of inspired me, so I came up with the chords and then brought in the big choir and strings and all the rest.

“It works quite well with a big orchestra, and it works quite well with just a piano. There’s one section [in the movie] when Tony kills someone, and there I played kind of soft; I think it’s just a bass line. So it works well both big and small.”
