Daft Punk re-releasing Grammy-winning 'Random Access Memories', 9 bonus tracks included. Check details

Daft Punk, the influential duo consisting of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, officially ended their musical partnership with an eight-minute video titled "Epilogue" a year ago on February 22, 2021 at 2:22 pm. Despite this, their music continues to live on.

Recently, the duo's team has announced that an expanded 10th anniversary edition of their final album, "Random Access Memories," will be released. The album, which won five Grammys in 2013, will include nine previously unreleased or rare bonus tracks that add up to 35 minutes of music. The new edition is set to be released on May 12, and the full tracklist is listed below.

In 2014, "Random Access Memories" came as a surprise winner of the Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards, and it represented a new creative direction for Daft Punk. The album was recorded over a period of several years, and it was produced using analog equipment instead of digital technology.


Additionally, the album featured the duo's first-time collaborations with several notable musicians such as Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers, Giorgio Moroder, Todd Edwards, and Paul Williams.

To celebrate their Grammy wins, Daft Punk threw a memorable party at the Park Plaza in Los Angeles right after the ceremony. The party included a light-up dancefloor similar to the one used on "Saturday Night Live."

The event was attended by the duo, their team, and a plethora of high-profile guests, such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Madonna and her daughter Lourdes, Beck, Lorde, Jared Leto, Zoe Kravitz, Trent Reznor, Skrillex, Hayley Williams, as well as several guest artists who collaborated on the "Random Access Memories" album.

In the upcoming expanded edition, Daft Punk will release a mix of demos, rare tracks, and early versions of songs from "Random Access Memories." The expanded edition will be available in different formats, such as 3 LPs, 2 CDs, streaming, and download. Moreover, the original album will be released for the first time in Atmos.
