Daft Punk are without a doubt one of the most buzzed about acts in electronic music, able to capture reader awards even in years when they don’t do anything! And with EDM as buzzy as it’s ever been, even hip-hop bible Vibe is getting in on the action with a photo history of the world’s most popular robot duo, covering the pair’s pre-robot past, as well as all their costumed incarnations, from Homework to TRON. Boy, aren’t their baby pictures just the cutest.

We’re guessing this might be the last (or maybe not) remix coming down the pike from Daft Punk‘s now six-month-old TRON Legacy soundtrack. Adam Freeland takes a whole bunch of parts from the entire soundtrack, and reassembles them with a seriously health serving of Roland TB-303 acid. This is a sound the whole film coulda used honestly.

Despite some not so nice words from Busy P, the TRON: R3conf1gur3d remixes are coming fast and furious now. KCRW has the exclusive remix of “Fall” by M83 and Big Black Delta, hand-selected by the stations music director and TRON: Legacy music supervisor Jason Bentley. Here’s what Bentley said about the remix:
“M83’s remix of Daft Punk’s TRON: Legacy score is a brilliant interpretation of the scene where Kevin Flynn and his son Sam, along with Qorra, are hurtling toward what seems a certain demise in a runaway elevator shaft. It’s a pretty manic situation on screen, and Daft Punk’s music understandably has a panicked urgency.
One of the reasons I like this remix so much is that M83, and his collaborator Big Black Delta, are able to control the gathering …
