Drake and 21 Savage Sample Daft Punk’s “One More Time” In Controversial Track, “Circo Loco”
Drake and 21 Savage‘s collaborative album, Her Loss, has dropped and there’s one particular track that immediately became a lightning rod for controversy. That track is “Circo Loco,” which is underpinned by an unexpected sample: a slow-rolling version of Daft Punk‘s iconic “One More Time.” The bold usage of the robots’ biggest hit isn’t the only thing that’s got the industry buzzing, however. In his verse, Drake sparked controversy on multiple fronts, taking aim at both Megan Thee Stallion and Ye (formerly known as Kanye West), respectively.

Thief Steals Charitable Daft Punk Artwork and Sells It for $12,000 In Crypto
A Daft Punk hobby artist has fallen victim to the dark side of the NFT gold rush. The artist, who works under the pseudonym sodasprouts, had created bespoke digital artwork depicting Daft Punk to promote “One More Time,” a charitable fanzine dedicated to the legendary electronic music duo.

Watch Tesla Coils Perform Live Rendition of Daft Punk’s “One More Time”
Daft Punk‘s legacy will live on forever, especially when their biggest hits are remade using Tesla coils. To achieve this level of musicality, Fabricio H. Franzoli from the Franzoli Electronics YouTube channel meticulously tweaks the coils’ phase, pulse width, and firing frequency of the energy from the coils. By doing so he’s able to get them timed properly and formulate a song. Franzoli has done a few electrifying Daft Punk covers with the Tesla coils, but he doesn’t only perform music from the legendary robots. He also did a cover of a-ha’s “Take on Me” (but dubbed it “TAKE on ELECTRICITY”) using an “Easy-Flyback” driver, which is available on his website. That performance is achieved using the same methods as the Tesla c...
