Bowie and Rodgers regrouped in Montreux, Switzerland to begin demo work. Bowie told Rodgers, "I just want to make a good groove record", a move that surprised Rodgers. "I was expecting "Scary Monsters 2"", he later said. Rodgers elaborated in the 1990s Radio 2 documentary "Golden Years": "When I got to Switzerland, he told me that he wanted me to do what I did best – 'Nile, I really want you to make hits.' And I was sort of taken aback, because I'd always assumed that David Bowie did art first, and then if it happened to become a hit, so be it!" While he was initially disappointed that he wouldn't be able to use the record as a way to earn respect from white audiences, he realised that he had to do what he did best in order to guarantee a hit. In Montreux, Bowie played his new songs on a twelve-string acoustic guitar. The first track he played for Rodgers was "Let's Dance", in a soft vocal arrangement. Rodgers knew initially that it wasn't a dance song. The two then used old '50s and '60s records to arrange the track into the finished product. Over three days, the two demoed the new tracks, with assistance from the Turkish multi-instrumentalist Erdal Kızılçay, who would later become a frequent collaborator of Bowie's.
