NEW Daft Punk :: “Drive” (Unreleased) (MP3)

Yesterday we tipped you off that “Drive,” an unreleased tune from Daft Punk from 1994 would make its debut on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 program tonight. Well, it appears that only a preview has been let loose, meaning you;ll have to wait until 9/19 to hear the full thing.

The song was unearthed by the duo’s first label, Scotland’s Soma Records, who are releasing the tune as part of the 20th anniversary collection. And how is it? As harder, better, faster and stronger as you’d expect from a tune that was originally considered for the b-side to “Rollin & Scratchin.”

Now we’re getting into the good stuff. Last night on BBC Radio 1, Annie Mac premiered the music from end titles of TRON Legacy, which, if you haven’t heard, was recorded by Daft Punk. At almost 3 1/2 minutes, it’s the most music we’ve heard so far from the upcoming soundtrack. Imagine “Rollin’ and Scratchin,’” the eight minute acid burner from the duo’s first album, Homework, turned into the closeing credits to a major motion picture.

SXSW Day One Recap: A Wicked Warp To Austin

The journey starts off with a mind-numbing bang. 

Descending upon Austin, Texas on the 17th of March, the expectations brought upon the all-encompassing journey that is SXSW are at an extreme high. Press scurrying to the Austin Convention Center to get their badges, kids RSVP’ing to any free unofficial festival events they can, and the hard-knock artist/promoter trying to get a second of attention from passer-bys on Sixth Street. What is missing from that entire spiel is the sense of euphoric confusion there is in terms of just walking around Austin. Day 1 surely brought an introduction to the madness and ended it in a fashion that wasn’t just great, but the perfect wake-up to call to the joy that this festival brings.

Arriving with the nuisance that traffic would be an issue (and paying $15 more than a regular cab ride), the badge pick-up was no sweat. Within …
