The Daft Punk mix created for the Yves Saint Laurent show at Paris Fashion Week has been revealed online, with the French dance legends editing tracks from blues star Junior Kimbrough in the 15-minute mix. Listen below.
The edited tracks have been shared online by Yves Saint Laurent boss Hedi Slimane, and while it's not exactly the heavy-hitting dance epics Daft Punk fans have come to love the band for, it's good to know the band are still in the studio.
Daft Punk are expected to return in 2013 with a new studio album - which is set to include collaborations with Chic star Nile Rogers and legendary disco producer Giorgio Moroder.
Earlier in 2012 an Australian dance website revealed an image supposedly showing the cover of new album, titled No End, with a tentative release date of 3 March 2013. Nothing has been confirmed by Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem Christo themselves, but it is thought they have been working on new tracks since early 2012.
Daft Punk are also rumoured to be performing at Glastonbury 2013.
