So this is killer , last night at Dim Mak Tuesdays in L.A .Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter celebrating Busy P's birthday jumped on the turntables and spun Daft Punk and prince . Sick . I just watched the vids . This is super cool .
Thanks for the scoop StereoGum. I hope all of you are familiar with the Daft Punk . I have my friend Steve to thank for showing me the light in all that is Daft Punk years ago . If you don't know who they are you would still recognize them , Their music has spread so far and has been sampled and used and referenced all over the place including Kanye West . They are completely amazing and have ruled house since the early 90's , yet still very much a mystery . Daft punk are a french duo consisting of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter . They alwayss perform either in a masks or later as robots .
Thomas Bangalter once stated, "We did not choose to become robots. There was an accident in our studio. We were working on our sampler, and at exactly 9:09 a.m. on September 9, 1999, it exploded. When we regained consciousness, we discovered that we had become robots."

This one of the only known photographs of the duo and there is only one other vid of the two of them performing live in Wisconsin at the Further Festival in 96.(Who says cool things don't happen in Wisconsin.) Other than that they have used the Robots and vivid futuristic imagery to separate themselves and not make them thebe stars . Rather let the music and the intense visuals be all part of the art and to represent something greater than themselves . Plus you can dance to it . So last night was the first time we got the human side in over ten years . Plus its great to dance to .
Check this vid from 96
