Daft Punk have some sweet gear in their pyramid! Most of it is matching too. This is where Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo create their electronic magic and make humans dance on command! Here is an enlarged robot eye view of a Daft Punk concert: ([More →])

From the Harder Better Faster Stronger 2008 (Alive Club Mixes) comes this wicked little Daft Punk mashup:

Daft Punk – Touch It Technologic (Alive Club Mix)

Continuing with our REWIND! of 2007, here are the Top 10 Electronic Musings on ([HearingTest]) in 2007… All but “Lion” were released this year, and most of them can be found on BLEEP.com or Boomkat.com. 2007 was also a great year for watching the magic of electronic synthesis and we enjoyed watching loads of wonderful videos. I consider myself very lucky to have attended some of the Bay Area’s hottest live electronic music performances and somewhat capture them on video. It’s all here as we REWIND! 2007′s Greatest Hits!

Daft Punk made a wicked mix for Louis Vuitton’s Spring Summer 08 Womenswear Full Fashion Show and you can check out both right here!

HOT HOT HOT!!! This new video RULEZ! I like this version better than anything I’ve ever heard by either artist individually. It takes the amazing energy of Daft Punk’s electronica and the hard-hitting vocals and images of Kanye West. What would it take to get these guys to form a supergroup and put out whole albums of this stuff? ([More →])

Fader Mag has a fantastic feature today about Daft Punk. Partly because their tour starts in L.A. tonight, partly because they just effing RULE and partly because the Punks let the peeps from Fader try on their new and improved robot helmets. How cool is that? If you haven’t seen the new helmets, check this: ([More →])

Daft Punk’s robot saga Electroma will finally show in North America! The movie first screened at the Cannes Film Festival an entire year ago, and I’ve been stoked to see it since! The plot revolves around two androids on their quest to become human. The entire film was shot in a mere 11 days, mostly in Independence California.

Here is a few minutes from the reel, with music by Todd Rundgren:

Actually none of the music in the movie is by Daft Punk themselves, the duo have their hands full with directing and acting!

Electroma Cast:

Peter Hurteau as Hero #1
Michael Reich as Hero #2
Ritche Lago Bautista as Robot Groomsman
Daniel Doble as Robot Pastor
Athena Stamos as Robot Waitress

Here is one of the trailers for the film:
