Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories 10th Anniversary Edition is out now

Following the release of The Writing of Fragments of Time and GLBTM (Studio Outtakes), Daft Punk today unveils Random Access Memories 10th Anniversary Edition, an expanded, celebratory edition of their 5x Grammy winning, 2x Platinum iconic last album.

With 35 minutes of unreleased music across 9 tracks, Daft Punk shares for the first time outtakes, demos, and unreleased songs from the original recording sessions of Random Access Memories. The new tracks are described in detail in the below track by track.

As noted in its title, “Infinity Repeating (2013 Demo)” was recorded ten years ago during the sessions for Random Access Memories at Conway Recording Studios in Los Angeles and Electric Lady Studios in New York. It was created before “Instant Crush,” another Daft Punk x Julian Casablancas RIAA Platinum-certified collaboration that became a fan favorite on the original album. Dubbed the last Daft Punk song ever, “Infinity Repeating (2013 Demo)” has a dreamy, ethereal, jazzy quality. Says Casablancas about the track“a little stranger and more jazz modern chord-wise than the others on the record. It just cycles up like a pattern - It’s a four half-step cycle moving up on repeat. i wanted Stevie Wonder to sing it. somehow has island summer vibes too... it's lovely and bizarre. like a human. and like a human, obsessed with infinity and constantly making the same mistakes and movements.”

Last night, the video for “Infinity Repeating (2013 Demo)” featuring Julian CasablancsThe Voidz was unveiled at a one time unique in person event at the Center Pompidou in Paris. Directed by long-time Daft Punk collaborator Warren Fu, the video features a continuous, evolving walk cycle as an open metaphor. The video is a collaboration among three animation studios (Picnic Studios - London, H5 Studio - Paris, and Light Studios - Paris) with distinct specialties to create the one shot video. The challenge was to seamlessly integrate the work of each studio to create a singular work of art. Seeing each other’s work not only inspired and challenged the artists, but also created a sense of community in creating something special.

Says Fu, “This project is especially dear to me not only because I was the mutual friend that introduced Julian to Guy Man and Thomas, but it is also the final music video for Daft Punk. Like a lot of the robot’s music, I wanted to create something simple and hypnotic on the surface, that reveals more upon repeat listens and viewings.”

To celebrate the anniversary and the album release, Snapchat’s AR Studio has created “Daft Punk: Memories Unlocked,” a series of never-before-seen augmented reality experiences to fans across the world. The three part experience encompasses a custom AR-generated track reveal of “Horizon,” a global treasure hunt in 10 cities around the world in iconic locations noted by their GPS coordinates, and an extensive out of home billboard campaign in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Sydney, London, Liverpool and Berlin that contains an exclusive AR experience via QR code.

Ten years after its release, Random Access Memories continues to draw fans in. New RIAA certifications include 2x Platinum for the album and a slew of singles: Gold “Doin’ It Right” feat. Panda Bear, 8x Platinum “Get Lucky,” Platinum “Instant Crush” feat. Julian Casablancas and Platinum “Lose Yourself to Dance” feat. Pharrell Williams.
