• Daft Punk cowrote a track with an Aussie band
  Parcels - a group made up of Jules Crommelin, Patrick Hetherington, Noah Hill, Anatole Serret and Louie Swain -  might not come to mind instantly, however this young Aussie group are clearly in the 'making big waves' business after enlisting the help of Daft Punk on their latest single, 'Overnight'.Quite impressive work for a few blokes from Byron Bay, right?

• Reddit Thinks Daft Punk Are Going to Tour in 2017
  Masked electronic masters Daft Punk have given hopeful fans reason to believe that the French duo may be gearing up to tour next year.   The enigmatic two-man — or two-robot, rather — group haven't released a new album since 2013's Random Access Memories, though they did just hop on the Weeknd's latest single "Starboy." Now, a discovery by a particularly keen Redditor reveals that the pair might be returning to the stage in the not so distant future.   As FACT points out, user KosherAtheist discovered a page dedicated to Daft Punk on the Lollapalooza website, implying that the duo are expected to grace the Chicago festival's stage. The page was added in February and is anticipated to correlate with the festival's 2017 lineup.   The men beneath the robot costumes, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, have an infamously sparse track record when it comes to touring. They supported Homework with the "Daftendirektour" in 1997, then didn't return to the live circuit until 2007, where they kicked off a string of live appearances with a show at Coachella.   Other than a few sporadic performances (including a spot at the 2014 Grammy Awards), the duo have not toured in support of Random Access Memories. If they're sticking to the 10-years-between-tours timeline, then a 2017 run of concerts doesn't seem all that farfetched. All that said, this is all guesswork at this point and a simple artist page on a festival website is hardly a solid foundation. Plus, an "industry source" tells Consequence of Sound that the duo have "no plans to perform live next summer," though Daft Punk and Lollapalooza have yet to officially comment on the rumours.  



• Avicii enlisted to help produce upcoming Chic album
   Avicii has been enlisted by Rock Hall of Famer Nile Rodgers to help produce the forthcoming Chic album.The revelation arrived via an interview by The National ahead of the Mawazine Festival in Morocco. Billboard has since confirmed Rodgers statement about working with Avicii.The Swedish producer, who famously announced his hiatus from touring in March of 2016, has hinted at his own 2017 full-length release as well. However, his website has seen little updates since the early April revamp.Rodgers is no stranger to massive cross-over collaborations; the guitarist was an integral element to the success of Daft Punk’s 2013 hit ‘Get Lucky’. Rodgers and Avicii, along with Adam Lambert, formerly collaborated on ‘Lay Me Down’ from Avicii’s solo debut ‘True’.The new Chic full-length offering is expected to be released before 2017 is over. Media: avicii_1.jpg.pngChicNile RodgersAviciiDaft PunkInvite comes directly from Nile RodgersNavigation Section:NewsSection Priority:Priority 1

• Giorgio Moroder Dejavu review – electronic pioneer falls victim to his own vast influence
  (Sony) Related: Giorgio Moroder: 10 groundbreaking tunes If you had single-handedly changed the direction of electronic music, you’d probably take a bit of time off, too. Deja-vu is Giorgio Moroder’s first solo album since a collaboration with Phil Oakey in 1985. During that time, he’s been playing “a lot of golf”, while the sound he pioneered has stretched across almost all modern pop. The guest list for this comeback – spurred on by his 2013 collaboration with Daft Punk – is a reminder of his status: Sia, Charli XCX, Kylie and Britney all appear. It’s probably a bit much to expect Moroder, who recently turned 75, to reinvent pop all over again. Some moments here are unmistakably him, such as the icy synth intro to Back Forth, which features a vocoder-addled Kelis. But for every decent chorus, there is a moment where Moroder falls victim to his own vast influence, and the likes of Don’t Let Go and Tempted feel like generic chart pop you’ve heard before – probably not the kind of deja vu he was after.

• Clubs picks of the week
  Klangkarussell | Legowelt | Bromance Records | Set It Out | Drop The Mustard: KölschSitting ahead of Macklemore and Daft Punk on the UK's list of most Shazamed songs of 2013 were Austrian duo Klangkarussell with Sonnentanz, a pleasant but unremarkable production showing just how embedded deep house has become as the soundtrack to student life. The style is full of wafting Balearic effects, plosive bass and mildly earworming vocals. But Klangkarussell can do more than sunshine, as the simple moody syncopation of their Laura Mvula remix proves. They play live with Le Youth and Kidnap Kid: the former goes for maximum Gen Y nostalgia by sampling pitchshifting vocals by Cassie and TLC, while the latter tends towards a darker style informed by minimal techno.
