Legends of dance music at war? Seems shocking, we always felt our electronic music world was quite peaceful and healthy competition existed. However, seems like all that is about to change! Pitting two of the biggest artists we can think of, against each other is no joke and we’re anxious to see what’ll happen next. Hit past the break to learn more!To summarize an obviously lengthy story, Tiesto had the good fortune of downing a few shots with an acclaimed pioneer of electronic music, none other than Giorgio Moroder (yes, he featured on one of Daft Punk‘s tracks from Random Access Memories). Now, when two minds of that stature meet, creativity and ideas are bound to overflow like a river! Needless to say, Tiesto mentioned that the two of them are planning to sit down soon enough, something that has us overjoyed! However, Tiesto had quite a lot to say about the latest Daft Punk album.

“We didn’t have much conversation but we exchanged numbers after the set.,” Tiesto admits. “We are going to sit together soon in L.A. or Vegas and we’re really going to talk. We need to have a conversation but something will happen. I mean, he did a collaboration with Daft Punk, so why not with me?” he smirks.

This got us wondering too! What could Tiesto possible have against Daft Punk?

“It got so much attention because it’s so different and it’s an attitude album” he says. “It’s cool to like Daft Punk. Even if you’re not into the song, as soon as you hear [“Get Lucky’”], you see all the cool people go, ‘Oh yeah, this is cool, that’s my song,’ and they don’t really even enjoy it.”

Tiesto goes on to even state, “I’m destroying them now. Sorry Daft Punk.”

However Tiesto does state that he is fond of the duo’s older masterpieces, particularly the Homework LP and the older tunes dished out by one half of Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter on the Roulé label, where he says Banglater “made some amazing tunes.”

“But the ‘Tron’ soundtrack wasn’t that great and this is not great, either,” he points out. “But because it’s Daft Punk and they’re supposed to be cool and they had the amazing pyramid at Coachella a couple of years ago and the helmets — they’re fucking cool. But the music doesn’t deliver on the hype so much.”

When asked to elaborate about the hype revolving around Daft Punk, Tiesto goes on to state a real-life example. Tiesto says he’s observed this firsthand at a party. “Get Lucky” came on and these girls got excited and started dancing to it so he approached them and asked,

“Lemme ask you a question; do you really like this song?’ And they went quiet and were like, ‘Uh…it’s all right, it’s all right,’” he laughs. “That’s what I mean. Because it’s Daft Punk and we want to believe the hype; we are cool people so we have to think this is cool.”

We absolutely agree with Tiesto about the over hype created around this album, but its no shame to mention that we’re still fans of the album, regardless of the cloud. We’re twiddling our thumbs, wondering if Daft Punk has a comeback to this one. Stay tuned for further developments regarding this one!
