Daft Punk Mashups

Daft Punk vs New Order, "Blue Monday Alice"

Daft Punk vs. Michael Jackson, "Around the World"


Daft Punk vs Green Velvet, "Daft Land"

I'm not a big fan of mashups, never quite understood the whole phenomenon outside of the club. Maybe now it will be a little easier to listen to them, as their status as a fad has disappeared and every Tom, Dick and Harry isn't putting something out. It's not surprising that Daft Punk would feature in lots of mashups, since they write some of the best instrumental music. There's nothing spectacular here, nothing truly awful either. It's always good to hear "P.Y.T." and "Blue Monday," no matter what. The Daft Punk vs. Green Velvet is the best of the lot, you don't feel like it's all about the novelty and catchy song titles and in-jokel. It's just a decent track, pure and simple.

I have a few more Daft Punk mashups, which I'd be happy to put up over the weekend if people so desire. Leave some comments, otherwise we will resume on Monday with Daft Punk Week. Things will get real serious then, be prepared.

-Hollertronix Reunion at Transit! Diplo at the Mummer's Museum with Bonde do Role and CSS! I am breathless with anticipation, this is the night of the year. Last post of the day, I'm too amped to write, we'll back all weekend with more Peaches, Daft Punk and possibly some music from the reunion.
