If you haven’t heard that Daft Punk’s newest album, ‘Random Access Memories’, is out by now you are most likely living under a rock. Well even after the album has been released the Daft Punk news keeps on rolling in. Apparently an additional track titled ‘Horizon’ was released only in Japan as a bonus track on the album. The track is a very mellow, chilled-out track and lacks any of the disco influence that is present on many of the other tracks on the album and there is no vocoder providing robotic vocals either. Listen to the track below and you can read our review of ‘Random Access Memories’ here.

Album Review: Daft Punk – Random Access Memories

4e6c6fb2

Over 16 years ago Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo had released their first album, ‘Homework’ and were suddenly along their way on what would end up being a journey to iconic heights and a cult-like following. Following their third album, ‘Human After All’ and their Alive 2007 tour, the duo stepped away from the spotlight. For years, rumors of the return of Daft Punk surfaced with no avail. Finally, after years of waiting and anticipation the fourth Daft Punk album has been released.

‘Random Access Memories’ is possibly one of the most highly anticipated albums of our time. In the months leading up to the release the hype continued to grow as more details about the album began to surface, detailing the collaborators on the album and the hinting at the direction that the Parisian duo had decided to take. This album is very different from any of their previous albums, however each of their previous albums are very unique. For ‘Random Access Memories’, they left behind the classic, Daft Punk electronic sound that has been so influential in shaping electronic music as we know it today to create an album that blends genres, styles and decades.

It is two remixes mastered by Jeremy Olander and DAVI that I already have on repeat and fans of a more mature and original sound can check out on 16 Bit Lolitas’ label Bits & Pieces today!

Good 4 It – Wallpaper (Laidback Luke Remix)

artworks-000047427086-gsqjyj-t500x500

It’s a Laidback Luke kind of Sunday. Laidback Luke’s goal for the remix of “Good 4 It” was to create the Melbourne bounce sound that is quickly becoming more and more popular in the electronic music scene. Although he somewhat failed on that account, he did, in fact, nail another remix. The original song is pop rock jam that is super catchy and an ideal remix. What makes Melbourne bounce different from the Afrojack bleep sounding dutch house is the vocal effect. It’s almost like a person is making the lead noise, yet in Luke’s track it misses that vocal sound. That being said, I still can’t wait to jam to this track in the summer sun with my hands high. Check out the remix, and if you have any interest in the original, click HERE for the video. There’s no information on the release date, but check out the song in full below. Enjoy!

Martin Solveig, The Cataracs & Kyle – Hey Now (Laidback Luke Remix) [Preview]

artworks-000048297403-gio9fy-t500x500

Laidback Luke has added his unique touch to Martin Solveig and The Cataracs “Hey Now.” The track has a guitar and horn filled breakdown that definitely makes the drop quite a surprise. There isn’t much of a build up, but in turn, adds more of the said surprise effect for the deep horn drop and added percussion. It’s always a treat when Martin Solveig and Laidback Luke mesh their sounds together or remix one another because both of their signatures work well in a really creative way. There isn’t any information about when this banger will be released, but in the mean time hit play folks! Enjoy!
