Random Access Memories Memories

“For the longest day of the year, DARKSIDE momentarily turns into DAFTSIDE…”

In a characteristically bold move, Nicolas Jaar and his Darkside compatriot Dave Harrington have taken to remixing Daft Punk ’s Random Access Memories in its entirety. In a similar fashion to the work that Nico put into reworking Brian Eno ’s “Lux” and Grizzly Bear ’s “Sleeping Ute” for his Record Store Day release , the duo slows things down, texturizing and warping each song into a hypnotic blend of tension and release. In general, the tracks respectively clock in between three and five minutes, save for the seeming parody of Pharrell’s “Lose Yourself to Dance” – two seconds seemed to be enough to get the message across.
