GRAMMY-winning Cedric Gervais and Rock and Roll & Songwriters Hall of Famer Nile Rodgers unite to breathe new life into the timeless anthem We Are Family by Sister Sledge.
The duo’s reimagined version seamlessly blends Cedric’s signature big-room house energy and lush, melodic layers with Nile’s iconic funk-driven grooves, delivering a dance floor-oriented masterpiece that’s both nostalgic and respectful to the original version, as well as cutting-edge with a notable modern twist.
Pulsing basslines and shimmering synths elevate the timeless chorus, while Rodgers’ unmistakable instrumentals provide a sleek, rhythmic heartbeat. Out now on Armada Music, it’s not only a tribute to the classic but a dance floor anthem crafted for today’s global audience. Cedric says;
“4 years ago myself, Franklin and Nile Rodgers recreated the single Everybody Dance, we had so much fun with the record and when we realised 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.”
We Are Family captures the essence of both artists’ worlds, creating an irresistible fusion of soulful funk and house music which brings hope and promotes a positive message. Nile says;
“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.”
We caught up with Cedric Gervais this week and to mark the release of We Are Family, we asked him to compile and talk us through a playlist of other dance music classic that spread positivity around the globe.

‘I need this in my life’ cry shoppers as they race to Asda for Halloween decor that’s ‘perfect for 90s kids’
HALLOWEEN fans are racing to their nearest Asda to bag a hilarious decoration that’s “perfect for 90s kids”.
The supermarket has gone viral on social media after unveiling its skeleton item that’s available in stores now.
In a short video, which has racked up 388,000 views, two animated skeletons can be seen walking forwards and backwards carrying a coffin between them in the decorations aisle.
And people can’t help but compare it to the Chuckle Brothers and their famous catchphrase: “To me! To you!”
One shopper joked: “To me…… to you lol 90s kids in uk know what I mean lol.”
A second echoed: “Need to watch this with the Chuckle Brothers to me to you playing “.
Meanwhile, a third wrote: “To you to me”, accompanied by the laughing emoji.
The £25 decoration is also providing fun for people trying it out in store.
“I went into Asda and saw that walking. I fell on the floor wheezing and laughing it was so random”, admitted one amused customer.
Someone else chimed in: “My husband took me to this aisle at the weekend just to show me this item.”
A third gushed: “Ok why do I neeed this in my life. I can’t adult and don’t want to. This is what adult life is for.”
A fourth said: “I couldn’t stop playing with this in shop when I seen them. Yes I’m a big kid”
“Hold on I genuinely wanna buy this”, cried a fifth.
And a sixth wrote: “My mum bought this as soon as she saw it.”
Some shoppers, however, had the same complaint about the viral decoration – claiming it’s too expensive.
“Wow pricey. I’ll wait for the sale after Halloween”, sighed one.
Someone else revealed: “I saw that yesterday I was going to buy it but I only had £7.”
But the decoration could prove perfect for those one in five Brits (21%) who admit to being secretly competitive against their neighbours when it comes to having the spookiest homes.
With that in mind, it’s perhaps not surprising that Asda bosses this week revealed that Halloween is currently the number one search term on George.com with 31,000 people looking up the word.
Fans dub David Beckham’s dream 5-a-side team ‘probably the best ever’ as legend picks just one former Man Utd team-mate
DAVID BECKHAM has named his dream 5-a-side team and fans reckon it could be the “best ever”.
Becks sat down with former teammate Rio Ferdinand on Rio Meets to put together the best 5-a-side team he could, made entirely of players that he has played alongside during his career.
The retired England star certainly has a long list of stars to pick from with a glittering career that saw him play for Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester United and AC Milan amongst others.
And the five stars he put together certainly caught the imagination of football fans as they wondered what it would be like to see the list of icons link up on the pitch.
Opting to build his squad without a goalkeeper, Beckham chose two defender, two midfielders and one bagsman.
His defensive duo was made up of Roberto Carlos, who he lined up with at Real Madrid, and Paolo Maldini, who Becks played alongside during his spell with AC Milan.
While the first of his midfielders was Zinedine Zidane, another superstar that Beckham encountered during his time in Madrid.
Speaking on why he chose to include the France legend, Beckham gushed: “You play him a ball anywhere on the pitch. Any height, any level, any speed – he’s bring it down.”
Partnering the 1998 Ballon d’Or winner in the middle of the park would be Roy Keane.
Keane, the only Manchester United star to make the cut, was chosen for his leadership.

Beckham added: “You need a leader and you need someone that’s going to actually going to tackle and fight and be the player that he is”.
The cherry on top of Beckham’s all-time 5-a-side team was none other than two-time Ballon d’or winner and two-time World Cup champion, Ronaldo Nazario.
Beckham couldn’t hide his excitement when talking about playing with Ronaldo during his career.
He said: “[He’s] one of the greatest and most natural goalscorers that I’ve ever seen.”
Beckham’s stacked team left fans gushing about the talent that the Inter Miami owner has played alongside during his career.
Taking to social media, one fan wrote: “Can’t argue with any of those picks. Probably the best 5-a-side team ever.”
While another added: “Absolutely no arguments with that five. Majestic line up”.
A third commented: “Ridiculous five-a-side team. They would go unbeaten for years on end.”
And a fourth posted: “Beckham’s 5-a-side team is bound to be legendary.”
Man City have already decided who they want to replace Pep Guardiola as manager, claims Ederson
EDERSON claims Manchester City already know the man they want to replace Pep Guardiola.
The four-in-a-row Prem champions are waiting to hear whether their Catalan boss will leave when his contract expires next summer.
The hope is he could sign a one-year extension to make it a decade in charge at the Etihad – but as yet he has made no decision.
City’s No1 opted to stay in the summer when a lucrative switch to Saudi Arabia was on the table for him.
And that was partly because he feels the club will know exactly where to turn when the time comes to finally say their goodbyes to Guardiola.
Asked if his future was linked to the manager at all, he said: “No, not at all. Today City is a very well structured club, well managed, great directors, great CEO.
“I believe the club already has the next manager in mind to the day Pep decides to leave, they will try to follow the same line of work.
“Of course it’d be a great loss, we’re talking about the best manager in the world, but I see a really well prepared club for the post-Pep era.”
Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim is a hot tip to take over following the announcement that his close pal Hugo Viana will move to City as director of football in the summer.
However they are also among a host of clubs who have been impressed by the job done by Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen.

And Guardiola himself believes his former captain Vincent Kompany – now in charge of Bayern Munich – will be City boss at some point in the future.
Ederson revealed Guardiola played a key role in persuading him to stay in the summer – with the pair having several lengthy chats.
He said in one conversation he was given ‘guarantees’ by his boss that helped convince him to prolong his seven-year spell in England.
Ederson told TNT Sport Brazil: “There was an offer on the table, it weighed a lot on me as it was way above the average.
“But I had countless conversations with Pep, there was a decisive one that I can’t reveal much.
“It was about what he told me, his guarantees, all of what we’ve lived together here, the evolution I had with him.
“So that talk was essential for me to stay at City.”
Ederson has helped City win six of the last seven Prem titles since joining the club in 2017.
And he says much of their success is down to Guardiola’s guidance, adding:
“It’s amazing. He shows you the way, then it’s all on you to put this theory into practice.
“He is like our team’s GPS: he gives the route and we follow. If you don’t develop as a player with Pep it’s because you didn’t want to.”
Meanwhile Amorim spoke for the first time since it was announced his close friend Viana is going to replace Txiki Begiristain at City.
And he said despite their friendship there is no certainty he will make the same move in the near future.
He said: “These are rumours. Viana will always be a great friend, but his professional trajectory will one day be different.
“One thing doesn’t lead to another. The main thing is that nothing has changed at Sporting, nothing. Viana will only leave at the end of the season.
“We don’t talk about it. They are two different paths. Viana’s path is Viana’s path, mine is mine.
“We have a professional relationship that will not last forever, but it is certain that the friendship will continue”
Amorim said he will have to make sure Viana stays out of the way when the two teams meet in the Champions League next month.
He said: “Of course, Viana won’t be able to enter the dressing room during that week because I won’t let him in to avoid conflicts, but that’s all that changes”.
