    Join us on a journey through Daft Punk's first two albums as we analyze the iconic French House duo's beats. And we're not simply taking the original samples - we're rebuilding the rhythms from scratch to understand what made them tick in the first place! We also do a short cover of each song so you can hear the drums in context :)
    Extra special thanks to / @jaelights for your feedback on the mixes!

    Da Funk is definitely one of my all time favourite tracks (I remember the music video so well, that poor dog). The fact that it was what Daft Punk came out of the gates with is something else. The two of you are incredibly talented to do this. Not only the extreme dissecting of the tracks to uncover the elements and patterns but also the flawless playing of the musical elements! Hats off.

    Yes, my first encounter with Daft Punk was also Around the World and I can clearly remember as I stood in the room, mesmerized, staring at the screen and couldn't believe what I saw. It was amazing and I quickly learned the bands name with it. You recreated the songs but I still don't know what makes them good. They are just good. Still good after all these years.
