GUYS BIG NEWS

Daft Punk hit the studio with The Weeknd

The trio convened for a session earlier this month

"News of their collaboration nearly slipped through the cracks, but YourEDM picked up on a quick aside in a recent Billboard interview. The magazine had gathered together a “Hitmakers Roundtable,” where seven music makers and influencers discussing working in the current pop environment. When asked which artist she’d like to work with, Republic Records’ executive VP and head of urban A&R Wendy Goldstein let slip that she was about to check Daft Punk off her list.

“Actually, we have a session coming up in two days … with The Weeknd and Daft Punk,” Goldstein said. “I’ve always been a massive Daft Punk fan, and this is the first time that I’ve actually been involved with an artist who’s going to go and work with them.”

Maybe they will produce him a single, like they did with some Kanye West songs. 2017 is near and we might get a lot of nice news the next months!

after 3 long years...
unfortunately this will probably just be a song or 2, not a whole album.

Gust of Wind/Computerized kept my Daft Punk craze fed through all of 2014. This song can do that for the rest of 2016.

Also, this was posted by The Weeknd in the past hour on IG. It's a music preview. Possibly of Daft Punk or Cashmere Cat or both.

Absolutely same here.

It's interesting, but I couldn't be certain if it's them yet. Nothing is written to suggest it actually is a track they produced. Plus, if this was an actual collaboration, then wouldn't it have been kept secret?

Nearly every song the robots have produced sound nothing like Daft Punk either. Just playing devil's advocate.

And I mean if it's a three way collab between Cashmere Cat, The Weeknd, and the robots, then it certainly wasn't "secret." Cashmere and Weeknd both have posted Daft Punk pictures on social media in the same couple of weeks as well as posting pictures of themselves together working on something. The preview could've been released due to the traction of the confirmation that Abęl was in the studio with Thomas and Guy.

Plus some more food for thought. Cashmere said a new single from his album was dropping Friday. And the music preview post has the same cat emoji that Weeknd posted before when talking about Cashmere. It could be just that or it could be all connected. Who knows? It's exciting to think about. That may have been brand new music from Daft Punk.
