It is now confirmed that Daft Punk will be remixing themselves and their album Random Access Memories. In a recent interview with BBC Radio 1′s Pete Tong, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo discussed their desire to remix their own album. The french duo stated:

“We’re working on some mixes ourselves,” Bangalter answered. “So yes, there will probably be Daft Punk mixes of Daft Punk. Usually we never mix ourselves, that’s something we feel we’re interested in doing this time.”

Daft Punk revealed that “Get Lucky” will be the first track on the agenda as a remix. Which is slated to be released by the end of June 2013.

“The first track we’re remixing is ‘Get Lucky‘. That will be out by the end of June.”

Is it possible that Daft Punk created a disco album that they could intentionally sample later on for more material? Quality disco samples must be harder to find every day. I personally like RAM for what it is, but I’m not going to lie when I say I’m missing high energy tracks like ‘One More Time’ , ‘Around the World’, & Da funk’.

Does this also mean that Daft Punk will be opening up Random Access Memories for official remixes from other artists? Similar to what they did for the Tron soundtrack? Daft Punk – Get Lucky (Cashmere Cat Remix), anyone? (I wish).

We’ll keep you updated as the story develops..
