Hey, hows it going?

Over at BBC 6 Music we are putting a show together dedicated to Daft Punk after the news about their new track - Drive - coming out on Soma next month.

So what would you put in a playlist dedicated to them?

Their own tracks, people they inspired, artists who lay the foundations for them, collaborations, etc etc...

Head over to our blog for more info, http://bbc.in/oQZHRn
Drag tracks into our Spotify, http://bit.ly/mYBJp8
Or go to our Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/BBC6Music#!/nowp...6689963714
And of course leave comments below...

Really look forward to your ideas!!!

I wouldn't know what to contribute, but I'm definitely interested in hearing the show once it goes live. Keep us posted.

This will always be my favourite (quasi) Daft Punk record.

Producer_Will · 2011-08-04, 19:40:56

Quasi-Daft Punk records are more than welcome and The Music Sounds Better Than You - amazing!!!

The show will go out tomorrow between 7-9pm on 6Music - will update on here when we go live....

Anymore thoughts - how about people who lay the foundations for Daft Punk?

thebrownluva · 2011-08-04, 19:43:51

music sounds better than you haha

discuss this statement;

'people argue that daft punk are house, others argue they are techno'

you could ask that in your show and get people to text in their thoughts.

'The Music Sounds Better With You' just exemplifies why Daft Punk are so successful. And that is Bangalter's ear for a sample/loop.

a track of the lables they had: Roulé and Crydamoure

and production work they did for Sebastien Tellier (sexuality), Kavinsky (nightcall ep) and Nerd (hypnotize you (!!))

Been pushing Soma for a clip of the track, but all they will give me is this...

"At the tail end of 2010 we trailed boxes of DATs, pictures and god only knows what else to find artefacts of Soma’s early days. Imagine our surprise when we discovered a tape simply entitled ‘Daft Drive’. We hooked up the DAT machine and inserted the tape with the delicacy of a surgeon, pressing play and praying that for one, the tape contained what we hoped, and two, that it didn’t chew it like a dog chewing on a bone. In amongst the hiss and crackle, the most monstrous 909 kick drum thudded. Daft Punk’s Drive track had been rediscovered. Playing through was Live Daft Punk; freaky vocals, pounding Roland drums and synths and that archetypal DP compression.

"After standing in silence, witnessing this moment, the track faded off and we heard the sound of the French spoken word that the recording had been made over; the remnants of their parents audio collection. The tape had originally been sent with Rollin’ and Scratchin’ to be released as Soma25. But Soma asked these two bright eyed and Techno bound Frenchman, to finish and send Da Funk to accompany Rollin’ and Scratchin’ and DRIVE was shelved for a later date...""

I can't find the quote but I could have sworn that I read the sample was Braxe's doing?

This had to be the inspiration for "Daft Punk - nightvision"

Patrick122 · 2011-08-06, 10:37:37

I play this song whenever I unzip my fly.

Robob · 2011-08-07, 15:06:00

Feels like DP - Teachers is a must to play in such case? Pretty much themselves namedropping their teachers.. And why would they play Soulwax's cover?

Larvi · 2011-08-07, 16:05:57

Kirk · 2011-08-08, 18:08:52

does anyone know if this is fake?

I really like it either way

Robob · 2011-08-08, 18:40:22

Fairly sure its fake, and really sure those scratches are from Spinal Scratch

You could feel the love in their tracks, they have a certain of emotion to them that is unmistakeably their trademark. Its rare to find an artist that both receives and emanates such pleasure from their work.

This release from Crydamoure is a track which reminds me of that entire French Love Connection that found its way in both Bangalters and Christo's oven.
