Monday Video Madness: Daft Punk Fever

The events of this past weekend have increased the already ludicrous hype surrounding the new Daft Punk album to an absolute fever pitch. Finally debuting a solid 1:00 of what we can safely assume is their first single off the 4th LP titled "Get Lucky" featuring vocals from uber talented Pharrell Williams and a funky guitar riff by the legendary Nile Rodgers.

Also, in the 4th episode of their Collaborators video series which highlights each of the artists who worked with them on the album, it is Pharrell's turn to discuss his experience with the enigmatic French duo. It's extremely obvious he was truly honored to be involved in any way with this album, citing he'd be satisfied with just playing tambourine.

Last but not least, we're gonna wrap things up this monday with the music video for the timeless Daft Punk classic, "Around The World." This video has garnered praise over the years for its incredible choreography and unique approach to representing a song visually.

And with that, we anxiously await May 21st when Random Access Memories is finally released and ushers in a new era of Daft Punk and dance music.

We're up all night to get lucky.

Daft Punk 3.15 Announcement?

This week in Austin, Texas many posters like the one below were spotted across the city which is also the locale for the SXSW festival. Could a surprise Daft Punk show be in the works? Most likely it's just another rumour as a result of the unrelenting Daft Punk hype machine, but we will let you know if anything materializes today. A new single off their new album would make perfect sense seeing as their 4th LP is due out this May, but when it comes to Daft Punk, nothing is ever certain till it happens.
