Daft Punk Joins Venerable DJ Heros
Personally, I’m not sold on DJ Hero. I don’t know that I’ve ever been one to “air-scratch” during a song. Plus, a few of my friends are professional DJs and have let me try my hand at actual mixing. It’s a difficult skill to learn and frankly doesn’t translate well to a 3 button control with a fader. Still, there’s probably an audience for the game and who am I to rain on their parade.
French DJs and performing artists, Daft Punk, will be joining the list of featured mixers on the title and their digital counterparts look pretty good. They’ll probably sound pretty good too. Among the 93 tracks, the duo are providing 11 original mixes including 2 “megamixes”. Here’s a few :
- Daft Punk “Around the World” vs. Young MC “Bust A Move”
- Daft Punk “Da Funk” vs. NASA “Strange Enough ft. Karen O, ODB and Fatlip”
- Daft Punk “Da Funk” vs. Queen “Another One Bites the Dust”
- Daft Punk “Robot Rock” vs. Hashim “Al-Naafiysh (The Soul)” — Produced and mixed by The Scratch Perverts
- Daft Punk “Robot Rock” vs. Queen “We Will Rock You”
- Daft Punk “Short Circuit” vs. Boogie Down Productions “Jack Of Spades”
- Daft Punk “Technologic” vs. Gary Numan “Cars”
- Daft Punk “Television Rules The Nation” vs. No Doubt “Hella Good”
There’s a few new promo shots featuring the two’s distinctive outfits.
Update: got a couple new shots and a trailer this morning:
