Last week, FACT TV sat down with French dance stalwart DJ Falcon as he prepared to play at London’s XOYO. 

Although Falcon’s one of several artists to have collaborated with Daft Punk on the duo’s new album Random Access Memories – his ties with the group run the deepest. After meeting the group while A&Ring for Virgin, Falcon went on to collaborate with one of their members, Thomas Bangalter, as Together, releasing two singles (‘So Much Love to Give’ and ‘Together’), and released an EP on Bangalter’s Roule label.

‘Contact’ aside, Falcon hasn’t released any original music since the 1990s, but has got back into the remix game in the last year, lending his touch to Justice’s ‘New Lands’, Alan Braxe’s ‘Time Machine’ and Alex Gopher’s ‘Hello Inc’. As he reveals to FACT TV here, he’s back in the studio working on original material; we also talked through his contribution to Random Access Memories, watching Virgin pass on Stardust’s ‘Music Sounds Better with You’, a childhood spent skateboarding and more.
