Daftside | 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.
