Daft Punk - Together / Music Sounds Better With You / One More Time / Aerodynamic (FIBRE Mashup)

This weekend Alexandru Galetus, aka FIBRE, turned the clock back 14 years by releasing his take on the encore from Daft Punk's all-time classic album Alive 2007. Featuring two Thomas Bangalter tracks, "Together" and "Music Sounds Better With You," alongside "One More Time" and "Aerodynamic," this seamlessly blended eight-minute affair is both fresh and steeped in nostalgia. While the latter is obvious, the former freshness finds itself in the inclusion of "Aerodynamic" instead of the official, bonus edition's "Human After All." FIBRE forgoes the Frankenstein's monster-esque reanimation of "Human After All," instead opting to lead with "Together," which in my estimation is equally as effective in its come-together-one-last-time encore appeal. And from there, the Washington DC-based producer blasts off into French house infinity as the timeless appeal of "Music Sounds Better With You" and "One More Time" work their magic. Finally, the resplendent rushes of "Aerodynamic" deliver new notes, making this edit incredibly effective as a finale thanks to its feverish, race-against-the-clock intensity. A new twist on a classic combination, find FIBRE's fabulous free mashup below and follow his socials at the bottom.

tdoyle - Aerodynamic (Albyy_ Remix)

Back in June tdoyle dropped a remix of classic Daft Punk track "Aerodynamic," and this week that same remix got further flipped by New Jersey's Albyy_. This is jersey club craziness at its most raw, and what better track to flip than one with such unmistakable samples as those from the deities, Daft Punk. The explosion of energy that is the essence of jersey club comes to the fore from the get go, only to further devolve into mind-numbing mayhem. That's exactly what club music is about: no thinking, just dancing. FOLLOW ALBYY_: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER

Daft Punk - Something About Us (Krys Talk Remix)

There's no discounting the importance of either Daft Punk or their 2001 album Discovery. With cuts like "One More Time," "Aerodynamic" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger," there's no shortage of sensational synth work that continues to stand the test of time. Of course there's been endless attempts to rework and re-position these tracks in any and every sub-genre you can think of. Being that future bass still stands as the sound of the moment, that's what we get today with Krys Talk's take on his favourite track from Discovery, "Something About Us."

Unlike most of the remixes of Daft Punk that push it too far one way or another, Krys Talk succeeds in his revision. Sure he leaves behind much of the stripped back subtlety of the original, but he's rebuilt the magnificent melody around the buoyancy of the future bass. He too succeeds in tearing at our heartstrings by maintaining the emotional intensity of the instrumentation. This is where future bass meshes the best with the original, allowing the elegant aesthetic to shine bright. However the most important part is that the love story of "Something About Us" stays intact and is perhaps even bolstered by this robust remix. While there may be no substitute to the original, there's no denying that Krys Talk has done an admirable job re-positioning it in the 2017 idiom. Download his mix for free via Coli, here.
