Daftside: random access memories memories
Without a doubt Daft Punk's Random Access Memories is one of the most Hyped LP's of our time.
As an LP it had to power to split the world of dance Music in two.
On the right we saw people who love and understand real music regardless of its BPM, how it was made or genre and on the left we have a load of wanna be know it all EDM Clubbers who in fact know very little about the history of the music they clam to worship every weekend.
Up steps "Daftside" also know amongst the Imperial fleet and Rebel Alliance as "Nicolas Jaar" a Jedi intent on totally laying wast to any clams that 'R.A.M' was a somewhat mediocre LP (and hopefully have a word with the twats on the left)
Will his remix LP reunite and bring back peace to the Dance Music Galaxy or will we see more blood on the dance floor?
Who knows and who really gives a fu*k?
All we know is that this is an amazing Remix LP which some might even say is even better then the Robot's original version.
What ever you do, don't believe the hype use your own ears, think for yourself and enjoy it for what it is...

Richie Hawtin, Skrillex & Luciano join Bridges For Music At Sonar by Day / Friday 14th June / Barcelona
Richie
Hawtin, Skrillex and Luciano will
join Bridges For Music director Valentino Barrioseta for an
exclusive talk and screening about the Bridges For Music project
at Sónar+D. Taking place on Friday 14 June at 4pm, there
will be a short documentary trailer about the project, a discussion about
current and future plans for the organization and the three founding
ambassadors for Bridges For Music will share their experiences from recent
workshops in South Africa.
Bridges for
Music is a non-profit organisation supporting responsible development of
electronic music in emerging areas. The initiative, which aims to use music as
a tool for empowerment in disadvantaged communities, is supported by revered
music industry personalities and companies.
Bridges for
Music launched its first program in South Africa in February 2013 with project
ambassadors and global music legends Richie Hawtin, Skrillex and Luciano. A
series of free music events and workshops took place over 2 months in the
townships of Soweto (Johannesburg) and Langa (Cape Town). The ambassadors were
joined by local DJ icons Black Coffee, Vinny da Vinci and Niskerone amongst
others, to talk about the power of music and how to harness its opportunities.
This first
successful project aimed to bridge the gap between black and white communities
by bringing together people from all backgrounds and offering an inspiring
experience with eye opening insights into the genuine opportunities around the
electronic music scene in the townships. These "township" areas are
infamous legacies of the Apartheid segregation and still represent the
day-to-day struggle for the majority of the population in South Africa. In
recent years, electronic music, in particular House music, has become an
integral part of the culture in these communities, developing into a strong
local music scene, which is already being used as a foundation to overcome
socio-economic boundaries.
Showing its
commitment for the longer term, Bridges For Music is starting a music school
support program for selected schools in Soweto and Langa. In the coming year,
Bridges for Music will also look to develop further projects in the rest
of Africa, South America and Asia.
