Legendary guitarist/producer/songwriter Nile Rodgers of Chic has blogged about his first recording session with Daft Punk . Last week, in a blog post titled "Daft Punk Is Hanging At My House," Rodgers, who has been fighting a public battle with cancer (he says he is thankfully in remission), broke the news about his recording session with Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. "I dig Daft Punk," Rodgers wrote. "When I first heard 'Da Funk' I thought it was one of the grooviest records I'd heard in a long time." The following day Rodgers [...]

O experiente produtor Nile Rodgers disse nesta semana que está conversando com o duo francês Daft Punk para trabalhar na produção do próximo álbum da dupla. Segundo ele, Guy-Manoel de Homem-Cristo e Thomas Bangalter , os nomes por trás das máscaras, irão ao seu apartamento para discutir a parceria. Rodgers, que também é guitarrista da banda Chic , já trabalhou com artistas como David Bowie, Madona, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode e Mick Jagger. O último trabalho do Daft Punk foi a trilha sonora do filme Tron: Legacy [...]

Did you know this song was co-produced by Thomas Bangalter, member of Daft Punk? That's right! Way back when it came out in 1998, it was sort of unknown by most people that Bangalter had involvement in the song. Even to this day, people probably don't necessarily know that. Although, back in 1998, Bangalter's work with other musicians under the name "Stardust" was sort of hush-hush.
Bugger. Almost forgot to post these blazing tunes from NAPT . This is what happens when we receive over 100 submissions a day. This is the price of success. ha. Kidding. NAPT doesn't need much of an intro to these pages. They're the creators and purveyors of n-funk which by my calculations is a mashing of a number of styles, most importantly though, breakbeat. Their latest for RED SUGAR RECORDS is a double single that slams basslines sideways. "King Jitter" is a grinding monster while "Treatise" pounds a battling b-boy break. You should grab both [...]

For Britney , the bass keeps getting big-gah . For Ke$ha , the sleaze just keeps getting sleeeeazy-ah. Though it's been mostly quiet on the K$ front while the trash-pop princess spends her time laboriously recording her highly anticipated 2012 follow-up to Animal (read: busy making out with bearded truckers in the woods of rural Arkansas), K$ has decided to delight her loyal animals with a semi-brand new treat: A re-remix of "Sleazy"! From Ke$ha's official website : Ke$ha takes "$leazy" to [...]

A few days back, I woke up to the sad news of the passing of French house legend DJ Mehdi (via Twitter), who was killed in an accident at the age of 34. I loved his work, and it seems fitting then that we pay tribute to him by sharing his best known track, "Signatune," which when remixed by Daft [...]

Thomas Bangalter es uno de los integrantes de Daft Punk , y mientras hacía este post lo googlee y le ví la cara, cosa que no tenía la intención de ahcer ya que me gustaba ese misterio de Daft Punk con respecto a sus identidades. En fin, resulta que Thomas Bangalter está casado con la actriz Elodie Bouchez que es rostro de la nueva campaña de Co Collections , una marca estadounidense, que se dedica más al diseño de ropa ready to wear, [...]
Thomas Bangalter, one half of Daft Punk, has directed and done cinematography for a three-minute short film that serves as a sort of advertisement for the new collection from the fashion line Co. The film stars Élodie Bouchez, Bangalter's actress wife. She plays a woman taking care of a sick man, and lots of weird stuff happens. Also, she cries. The soundtrack is all operatic and not-at-all robot-rockish. But it has to be said: Everyone looks very nice! Watch it below. Read More...

Photo by Karl Hab News broke this morning that DJ Mehdi, the immensely talented French (via Tunisia) DJ/Producer responsible for some of the most rousing electronic music of our day, not to mention greatest DJ sets, passed away in an accident. Mehdi was one of my favorite musicians and one of the greatest DJ's I've ever had the pleasure of seeing live. He was full of energy, always with a goofy
