Daft Punk vs. Obama - Aerobama

The folks at JazzMutant received some priceless advertising when Daft Punk joined Kanye West during the 50th Grammy Awards to perform “Stronger.” They appeared on stage in their pyramid with four Lemurs. Seems that Justice have also incorporated the Lemur’s into their live show. The backbone of their setup consists of three synchronized Lemurs plugged into Ableton Live.

Australia’s NEVEREVERLAND music festival is coming back in December to celebrate Modular’s 10th birthday. Last year, Daft Punk was a headliner as part of their first Australian tour. Some amazing behind the scenes footage of their performance amongst others has been compiled to promote this years festival. Lineup to be announced soon. Good stuff.

Hottest remix in the game right now. The Count & Sinden have done it again. This is going to smash dance floors across the globe this summer. Sam Sparro must have gone mental when he heard this for the first time. We did! Would love to see Sparro drop some vocals on some new Daft Punk material. His voice is reminiscent of one Benjamin Diamond.

This remix is fire!!!! But…unfortunately it will never see the light of day as a proper release or white label. Sebastien Leger has confirmed that it is only a DJ tool for his sets (so if you have downloaded this remix somewhere its not the real thing). He was inspired to do the remix after seeing Daft Punk live himself on their recent tour. He modeled the remix after the mix Daft Punk used for their show. So make sure you go out and see him DJ when he comes to your town and maybe you will be lucky enough to hear him drop this in his mix. From the looks of this video it looks like this track slays dance floors. TUNE!!!!!

Although very similar to the video for “Robot Rock”, its still fun to watch.

Daft

Unfortunate news for Daft Punk fans eagerly awaiting the release of “The World Is Daft.”

After weeks of talking and thinking.

Thank you to the good folks at Sunday Best NYC for recording this fantastic mix from sometime Daft Punk vocalist and Chicago house legend Roy Davis Jr. It is chalk full of classic soulful and hip house tunes. Essential iPod material! Enjoy!

Sounds like Bangalter and Guy-Man were eager to go back into seclusion to make some new robot rock. Fine by us! Always look forward new material from the French house dons. We are still keeping our fingers crossed that a couple of new tunes will pop up on their individual indie labels Roulé and Crydamoure. Only time will tell. Daft Punk likes to take their time. We’ll keep you posted!
