Daft Punk - "Lose Yourself To Dance"

Sure, it's one of my least favorite tracks from one of my favorite albums of 2013, but Daft Punk managed to put some smooth, sparkly, enticing visuals into this video for the Pharrell-fronted track "Lose Yourself To Dance."

Daftside Remixes Random Access Memories

June 24, 2013New Tracksadmin7 Comments

I know Nicolas Jaar isn't the most orthodox of producers, and made a ballsy move when remixing Grizzly Bear and Brian Eno on the same 12" earlier this year; however, I'm not sure anything Nick has done so far could have prepared me for this!

Mixing the name "Daft Punk" with the name of Jaar side-project "Darkside," Daftside takes every single track from the new Daft Punk album and remixes it in a strange, textured, and warped experience--a lot of the album's original funk still remains, though. While the remixes showcase some seriously passion for the music Daft Punk presented on RAM earlier this year, I wonder if keeping the "Lose Yourself To Dance" two seconds long is a statement of some sort.

Either way, the fact that Daftside was able to take tracks like these and bring them into a completely different realm shows focus, vision, and creativity. These aren't your average remixes. Enjoy, and check a review for RAM below:

A video that drops in on a bunch of albums and songs that I've been meaning to talk about. The reviews and mentions here are pretty cursory, so don't expect anything incredibly detailed. Just some simple reactions to some new stuff.

SebastiAn- Total

June 19, 2011Reviewsadmin13 Comments

On Total, French electro producer SebastiAn churns out one banger after another that sound like they came straight off of some kind of assembly line. Rather than forge a sound or style the separates this music from its influences, the tracks here seem content to tailor themselves to every stereotypical specification necessary to be an electro song. While I could see this going down well in a club, it's not my drug of choice when it comes to dance music. If you're digging this LP, find it on Ed Banger.
