Nicolas Jaar‘s ever-adventurous Darkside project has remixed the biggest album of the year.
As Darkside, Jaar and regular cohort Dave Harrington normally trade in guitar-led electronica. Trading as Daftside – yes, very good, boys- they’ve now remixed Daft Punk‘s Random Access Memories in its entirety. For those who found Daft Punk’s fourth LP a shade schmaltzy, this is the version for you: ‘Contact’ becomes a fireball of feedback, ‘Get Lucky’ is reimagined as a louche hip-hop jam, and ‘Giorgio By Moroder’ becomes something you’d expect Ron Morelli to co-sign.
