Daft Punk will have their own action figures

Washington, D.C. – YUP. It’s true, no joke.

The french duo, Daft Punk, have unveiled their action figures made by Bandai — the makers of Power Ranger action figures. If you have roughly $45.00 USD, you can get ONE of the limited release action figures ($90 if you want both). The coolest part is that the hands and helmets are interchangeable. The action figures are currently available for pre-ordering and will ship two days after Christmas, one of the year’s biggest shopping seasons, on December 27th, 2013.

If you wish to pre-order, please visit Amazon.

Daft Punk – Get Lucky (Skywhere Remix): A Duo From Greenland

(Photo: Daft Punk Meets Nyan Cat)
Washington, D.C. – We got this gem in our drop box a couple days ago, and to our surprise it was pretty good. Skywhere is a duo from, get this, Nuuk, Greenland (Yes, people live there) who are also brothers. They decided to remix the promotional single off of Daft Punk’s new album “Random Access Memories“, which released just yesterday on iTunes, featuring Pharell. The Skyland remix is a house remix of the dance-pop single, adding programmed electronic instruments to the real instrument based original. The Greenland based duo has released their remix as a free download on Soundcloud, which you can stream below.

Daft Punk Will Release A New Album This Spring

Washington, D.C. – The rumors of a new Daft Punk album are true. According to Le Parisien, the second largest regional newspaper in France, Daft Punk have found a new record label, Sony subsidiary, Columbia, leaving EMI for their new studio album. The information was reportedly told by Guy-Manuel to his friends at a Kavinsky album release party last week.

Following in the footsteps of Depeche Mode, who also left EMI for a US-based label, who are now working on their new album as well ‘Delta Machine’ , Daft Punk is currently in the process of finalizing its contract with Sony/Columbia, slating the upcoming album’s worldwide release for sometime this spring. Aside from scoring Disney’s Tron, this marks their first official release since 2005′s Human After All, but other than their collaboration with Nile Rodgers of Chic, little else is known about the album from the two electronic producers.
