Random Access Memories<\/h1>\n

Daft Punk are back! Love them or hate them\u00a0Daft Punk<\/a> are certainly creating waves with their latest installment of funk\u00a0fueled\u00a0disco beats!<\/p>\n

And just when you thought they had run out of ideas, along comes Pharrell<\/a>\u00a0of N*E*R*D<\/a> and the legendary\u00a0Nile Rodgers<\/a>\u00a0to add just a sprinkling of\u00a0hip-hop,\u00a0funk and soul and to the electronic dance world!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Their new single Get Lucky<\/a>\u00a0is\u00a0their first single release in almost 8 years, and it has already broken Spotify<\/a> streaming records, having\u00a0the biggest streaming day for a single track in the US and UK on the day of its release.<\/p>\n

Daft Punk have certainly embraced the Disco groove of the 70’s and 80’s in this latest track, and if public reaction is anything to go by we can safely say this will be the track of the summer!<\/p>\n

Fingers crossed the album will live up to the hype that this single release has generated, as some would say these guys have previously\u00a0disappointed\u00a0when it comes to albums using lots of filler tracks to pull them through, however they look super cool, and created the albums Homework<\/a>\u00a0and Discovery<\/a>, so all can be forgiven!<\/p>\n

Where have Daft Punk been?<\/h2>\n

The French music duo were previously approached to create the Film Score<\/a> to the visually stunning movie Tron: Legacy<\/a>, the sequel to the 1982 hit Tron<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Daft Punk accepted and used a mixture of\u00a0orchestral and electronic music to create possibly one of the best soundtracks of recent times.<\/p>\n

The dark and futuristic atmosphere of The Grid<\/a>\u00a0was encapsulated by Daft Punk leading us on an\u00a0unnerving\u00a0yet amazing journey throughout the movie. Tron and Daft Punk were meant to be!<\/p>\n
