Daft Punk - Daft Club [2LP]

Daft Club is Daft Punk handing the keys to their friends, a 2003 remix album that turns the Discovery era inside out across two LPs.

The collection grew out of an online members' club that came with early copies of Discovery, where fans unlocked exclusive remixes one at a time. Once that service wound down, the duo gathered the best of the material into a proper album, adding a few new pieces and a remix of the Homework track Phoenix to round things out.

The guest list is a snapshot of the era. The Neptunes give Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger a slick, strutting hip-hop makeover, while Slum Village flip Aerodynamic into a laid-back Detroit groove. Boris Dlugosch gives Digital Love an extended re-edit that keeps its heart intact, and Basement Jaxx put their own restless stamp on Phoenix (Basement Jaxx Remix).

Elsewhere, guests like Gonzales and Romanthony take the songs to quieter, more intimate places, and the duo's own reworkings show they were happy to tear up their own blueprints too.

It's a fascinating companion piece to Discovery, and a reminder of how far the robots' influence reached across dance music and hip-hop at the start of the century. Spread over four sides, it plays best loud.
