Yesterday, Pete Tong got to sit down and talk with the one and only Daft Punk, discussing their life over the last few years and of course about their upcoming album, Random Access Memories. The interview consists of Thomas speaking most of the time with Pete, going in depth on their album and how it came about. He goes into detail about their work with the various collaborators and gives a little more insight to the story behind Pharrel Williams not remembering recording “Get Lucky” in Paris. As you listen, Pete Tong mentions that he has heard the whole album and talks with Thomas about some of the other tracks that we’ve never heard before, hinting at some vibes to expect. We also get word on the current plans for a future tour and to expect some Daft Punk remixes – which I am very excited about. Enjoy!

The young Brazilian may not have much of a following in the states, but continuous support from some of the biggest names in the industry are taking him an entirely new level of prominence. Klauss Goulart got started back in 2009 and has since caught the eye of artists the likes of Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten and more. The prodigy’s first release, “Deep Universe”, launched him into the forefront of the trance industry after Armin van Buuren began to support the track in a variety of his sets, including his Essential Mix on BBC Radio 1.
