Discovery - Daft Punk: Episode 208

The Year Of Discovery comes to a close this week! We're exploring Discovery, the sophomore album from Daft Punk, the iconic robotic French duo that changed the trajectory of electronica as we know it. Their sample-heavy style breathed new life into funk and disco, and hits like Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger and One More Time took the world by storm. From their explosive origins to the record's companion anime Interstella 5555, James & Connor will fall in Digital Love with this one. We'll play Fact Or Spin about trucks, the precursors to their iconic helmets, and NASA's Deep Space Network.. and The Mixtaper has a special surprise that's 100 episodes in the making! Something's in the air, so come celebrate the conclusion of our FOURTH year of ranking records!!
