Random Access Memories has been echoing in the metallic domes of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo since their work on 20082s Tron: Legacy soundtrack.The sheer number of collaborations on RAM , including noted movie composers Paul Williams and Giorgio Moroder, finds Daft Punk buildingupon their new-flesh narrative,adding to their storied, cinematic mythos of the diminishing boundary between computers and people. What sort of film is this? Bangalter has shared that the band is [D]rawing a parallel between the brain and the hard drive the random way that memories are stored.

You've heard the snippet , and doubtless indulged in the phoney reproductions pieced together from its couple minutes. The internet's been ablaze with Get Lucky all week, and it's more or less kept if not the world then at least the www. spinning. Well, mercifully for all involved really, you can now hear the whole shebang below. Pharrell's falsetto is every bit as good as it sounded when it first broke free box-fresh on that Coachella-aired excerpt; Nile Rodgers' guitars effervesce joie de vivre against a quintessential Daft Punk backdrop, and all of a sudden [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-16T02:50:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4894675/new-daft-punk/
What a friggin' epic moment this is! NEW DAFT PUNK FEATURING PHARRELL WILLIAMS AND NILE RODGERS! I remember when I was in high school listening to Pharrell's genius alongside Chad Hugo, Neptunes, and thinking, " Dang, they've got a real similar sound to Daft Punk..." and remembered that brilliant Nike commercial that perfectly exemplified my thoughts . And here we are many years later, obviously like a dream come true for Pharrell, but a new Daft Punk song is upon us that combines geniuses in various discourses jamming to what is a [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-13T07:20:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4889825/daft-punk-gives-extended-video-preview-of-get-lucky-at/
It's one of the most anticipated albums of the past several years & Daft Punk have created a series of successful teasers that have everyone excited for the upcoming release of Random Access Memories. As details of the record continue to emerge, festival goers at Coachella were treated to an extended trailer of the now-looped-to-infinity single "Get Lucky" featuring the guitar skills of Nile Rodgers and the vocals of none other than Pharrell . If it wasn't officially time to get excited already, I think this is a pretty good reason [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-05T17:15:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4873520/happy-40th-birthday-pharrell-the-10-best-neptunes-productions-of/
Today is Mr. Pharrell Williams' 40th birthday, which means he's been one of our finest and most innovative producers for the best part of two decades now. The Neptunes have become so ubiquitous that it's easy to forget just how remarkable and unusual some of their productions are so to celebrate Pharrell entering his fifth decade, we thought we'd round up a selection of our favorite Neptunes beats. There are so many to choose from that this is a pretty subjective exercise, of course, so do let us know your favorites, too.

Round 3 of "5 Random Songs" I was in the gym the other day and threw my iPod on full random. All 12,000+ songs randomly jarbled together coming at me like a shit cannon. As someone who's worked in music for a long time I have tons of albums I've never listened to that random people have given me to listen to. At one point I put everything on my iPod.

Non so nulla di questi Maddai e non so neanche come abbia finito per imbattermi nel loro videoclip d'esordio Fingo di essere un nerd ; so solo che a occhio l'operazione di giocare sagacemente con gli stereotipi dell'hipster nostrano non mi sembra esattamente riuscita.

I adore everything about Alexis Madrigal's story on the programmers and developers who built the software that helped get Obama reelected so much that I'm just going to employ you to read it. How can you not with grafs like this: "When Obama campaign chief Jim Messina signed off on hiring [Harper] Reed, he told him, "Welcome to the team. Don't fuck it up." As Election Day ended and the dust settled, it was clear: Reed had not fucked it up."

Another week, another Trap Dojo, filled with the very best Trap music the internet has to offer. Sorry this post isn't on the usual Tuesday, but it has more than enough banging tunes to make up for it. The first track, a huge remix of the Flux Pavillion and Major Lazer track "Jah No Partial" goes hard, infusing the classic roots reggae vocals over all sorts of wild instrumentals, horns, whistles and drums. The Dojo just wouldn't quite feel right if there wasn't a track by Ookay near the top of the list and he certainly doesn't [...]]]> text/html 2012-11-13T18:58:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4616983/trap-nerd-everyone-nose-aylen-remix/
