Daryl Braithwaite has confirmed a sample from his one-time band The Sherbs will appear on the forthcoming Daft Punk album.

With excitement around the release of Random Access Memories at fever pitch, the singer said a snippet from 1982 hit We Ride Tonight was cleared by publishers two months ago.

The synth sample - first used by Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter in a 2002 DJ mix with DJ Falcon and Cassius - will be featured in the new album's closing song Contact.

As co-songwriters, Braithwaite and his former Sherbs (previously Sherbet) bandmates stand to profit from royalties.
