That's what it seems like to me, at least. A search on Hype Machine yields three hits, and another on Elbows digs up 20. And it's not like these Dutchmen haven't had any high-profile releases; with remixes of both Sally Shapiro and Black Devil Disco Club, it seems there would be a little more buzz about them. The Black Devil remix really hits the mark for me, and can be heard on their Myspace, which I have linked below.
Elitechnique, who are Florentijn Boddendijk and Remco, have definitely listened to a fair share of Giorgio Moroder in their day (like any good nu-disco act should.) They've released their music primarily on Clone, but have also appeared on Lo. Give it a listen.
Here's a repost of Elektric Evening from last week's mix, as well as another Elitechnique track, We Shall Control.
Please visit their Myspace to listen to more and support the artist.

Cat People (Putting Out Fire) - Giorgio Moroder ft. David Bowie - MCA - 1982
For the second straight day we pick a song from a disco luminary who generated some of his best work for cinema. Giorgio Moroder produced and mixed the soundtrack to 1982's Cat People, which is, naturally "An Erotic Fantasy About The Animal In Us All." Let IMDB.com fill in the blanks with some plot keywords including "Male-Female Relationship," "Strong Sexual Content," "Sex," "Bondage" and "Zookeeper."
Moroder was also behind the soundtracks to both Scarface and American Gigolo, but today's track bears little resemblance to "Vamos A Bailar" or "Call Me." David Bowie stretches the bounds of androgony into the rest of the animal kingdom and meanwhile nails the vocals. I've had two people ask me if it's Johnny Cash singing the first couple of minutes but, while that's not a bad guess, the build to the finish is vintage Bowie.
