Sounds like Bangalter and Guy-Man were eager to go back into seclusion to make some new robot rock. Fine by us! Always look forward new material from the French house dons. We are still keeping our fingers crossed that a couple of new tunes will pop up on their individual indie labels Roulé and Crydamoure. Only time will tell. Daft Punk likes to take their time. We’ll keep you posted!

A triple threat has joined forces! Not sure how this collaboration came to fruition but we are happy that it did. Kris Menace, Felix Da Housecat, and Fred Falke have combined their super powers to spawn “Artificial” soon to be released on Compuphonic. Falke’s signature thick bass line meshes so well with those spacey synths! We are very much looking forward to future joint productions from these guys.

You can now enter your name and email address to get on the pre-order list for “Part of the Weekend Never Dies” here. This movie is going to be insane!!! The documentary was shot over 3 years, at 120 live shows/DJ gigs, and with one camera. A must see for any Soulwax/2manyDJs fan.
