While the leak didn’t come as a surprise to many – most of The Sights and Sounds staff agreed a leak would appear before the official release date – and by now, most of the internet has probably...

Back in the late 90′s, in a time before EDM dominated radio and internet charts, a group of small artists came together under the moniker Stardust to create just one track.

[ELECTRO/FUNK] Daft Punk ft. Pharrell – “Get Lucky”
If you haven’t heard the big news from Coachella over the weekend, you might be completely disconnected from the world of music at this point. More hype came from the Indio, CA music festival as Daft Punk took over the giant big screens on the grounds to air a 1-minute preview of “Get Lucky”, an electro-funk jam that features the vocals of Pharrell.

[ELECTRO/FUNK] Daft Punk – “Random Access Memories” (Vanderway Edit)
Daft Punk craze is sweeping the EDM nation as April Fool’s rumors perpetuated grand stories (Daft Punk and SHM form supergroup) and 15 second snippets leave our musical appetite wholly unsatisfied. But just because we haven’t gotten more from the dynamic dance duo, doesn’t mean that other extremely talented musicians can’t have their go at blending together their sounds with the Daft. Enter French artist Vanderway, an acting... Read More

[PROG/HOUSE] Porter Robinson & Mat Zo – “Easy”
Porter Robinson just rolled through Chicago last week with Hardwell and crew in what I am told was a banger of a night at Congress Theater in Chicago. While I wasn’t able to attend the sold out show, I was able to blast Porter through the big ass speakers on my computer. While not nearly the same experience as being immersed shoulder deep in a bouncing crowd of sweaty concert goers, I did save myself a shower. But if getting a little sweaty... Read More

Two Na Palm tracks in two days? Yeah, why not? Especially when you have four minutes of Na Palm spitting over the amazing electro sounds of Pretty Lights and Daft Punk. “Na Palm was feelin’ this Daft Punk track in the studio one day and decided to go in on a quick flow off the top. ’4 Minutes. No Hook. All bars.’ Enjoy!” Na Palm has been making big moves in 2011 with the release of his first album, Late At Night, and... Read More
