Whilst the Chemical Brothers were at the top of their game while releasing this song, Daft Punk brought an element of 909 groove into the mix, making it one of the most danceable songs on this list.ĭa Funk Back to Tha Punk, Come on! One of the most simple, but unapologetically enjoyable songs in Daft Punk’s catalogue, and definitely one of their least appreciated. On one side we have The Chemical Brothers, a duo responsible for some of the most influential electronic music ever made, and then on the other side, we have Daft Punk, a duo responsible for some of the most influential electronic music ever made. I often wonder if people in 1995 recognised how much of an incredible crossover of worlds this collaboration would be. The Chemical Brothers – Life Is Sweet (Daft Punk Remix) Without acts like Daft Punk, and songs like this, the club culture we currently know (or will know when COVID opens our clubs back up) would’ve never existed - and so thank god for tunes like this.ĥ. Whilst there are somewhat inaccessible elements of noise incorporated into the mix, the ‘open-hi-hat on the third’ drum loop makes for a masterclass in writing the funky, groovable dance patterns that stood at the centre of ’90s dance and techno. Originally shipped as the B-side to discovery’s Aerodynamic, it wasn’t until the CD release of their Daft Club remix album that this song saw a proper release. With abusive crunchy bass tones, an aggressive 303, and a phat kick/snare combo, it’s the kind of Daft Punk song that leaves you surprised that they’re the same artists who produced the incredibly kind and pretty textures that exist on the second half of Discovery.Īt Daft Punk’s roots is a gritty, aggressive and purely awe-inspiring techno duo, and the way in which they remixed this Micronauts tune really doesn’t let you forget about that. Once again, an absolutely frothy belter from the Robot Boys. The Micronauts – Get Funky Get Down (Daft Punk Remix) In fact, it was by pure luck that a couple of Soma techs found an old tape labelled “Drive Unreleased 1994” (as seen in the video thumbnail) whilst clearing out old DAT’s, and had they not had this discovery, we wouldn’t have this big-ass heaver on our hands.ħ.
Initially intended to be sent alongside Rollin’ and Scratchin as Soma Recording’s 25th release, it was lost when the label asked them to finish Da Funk as their preferred A-side. The belting kick drum, the off-kilter claps, the brutally crushed vocal samples - when mixed together, the elements of this song make up a hefty raver of a tune.
But let’s not lie to ourselves, it’s probably the best thing about that movie.Īmongst Daft Punk’s early work are some of the most blisteringly aggressive hard-techno tracks that you can come across, and Drive is right up there. Out of all of the tracks provided for the score, Son of Flynn is one of the top contenders - with its beautiful modular chord progression, ambient backdrop and rich synth textures, it unapologetically pulls you into Tron’s cyber-world for a brief, but glorious moment.

Characters getting sucked into an arcade world full of rich neon colour, robotic suits, and bright motorcycles - it’s enough of a likeness that it’d feel weird if Daft Punk weren’t tied in amongst it somehow. Regardless of its critical success, 2010’s Tron Legacy was the perfect world for Daft Punk to exist within.
