Fast forward to now, Tron Legacy is set to be released in 3D sometime (probably summer) 2010. Who’s behind the boards for the soundtrack? The relatively unknown French duo Daft Punk. Apparently they’ve already composed 24 tracks for the film, when the director was asked why he decided to have Daft Punk do the film score, he replied,

“How could you not at least go to those guys?”

I agree in full, and, let’s be honest when Daft Punk performs live they look like they just got spit out of the Tronverse. Unfortunately there’s going to be a fucking Journey song in it again, which I will forgive as long as Disney doesn’t fuck with Daft Punk like they did Wendy Carlos and forced an orchestra on her… classically trained musicians are so overrated. Anyway, here’s the Tron Legacy theme for download, apparently it’s done with Cryda Luv. I have no idea who Cryda Luv is but I’m guessing he/she named themselves after the amazing french record label, Crydamoure, owned by Daft Punker Guy-Manuel. Or maybe it’s just an artist Daft Punk made up.

If you haven’t heard of dude I can’t accurately describe what makes him so good, other then the way his music hits your ears, or more importantly his words. That’s why I’ve included a couple of his songs as well as this interview conducted by BBC jazz legend Gilles Peterson, which is awesome in itself. I was talking to $port about how just listening to this dude stutter: you can hear the passion in his voice. Gilles and Jay sound almost unprepared yet they flow together like their 2 old men somebody happened to record… the furthest thing from being some record label arranged puff piece. Jay Electronica is one of the surgeon’s performing surgery on Hip-Hop. Isn’t authenticity refreshing!?

My favorite soundbyte is at 52:15 when Jay goes “Cheney shot A MAN in the face!” and you hear no response from Gilles, other then him cracking up. Also I completely cosign (and always have, for that matter) with the fact that Common’s Electric Circus was an amazing album that has always been slept on.

If there’s one thing I’ll brag & boast about: it’s my ability to spot that trend way before the blogs/journos/MTVrs/pop culture. My foresight has been proved accurate in the past… Take notice that I only champion brands/products if I truly stand behind them.

There’s nothing wrong with Serato, I’m not trying to ragg on them, but Serato has become the beige-90s-PC of DJing. Everybody bought it cuz that’s what everyone else has… makes sense. Don’t get me wrong, Native Instruments has released some crummy products in the past but Traktor Pro is awesome at what it does. Oh and just in case you were wondering: sooner or later this whole DJ controller debate won’t mean shit because every DJ is gonna switch Ableton 8 [oooh, new warping engine].

Anyway, I really like the song used in the commercial. I was very surprised to find out that’s the song is actually off an older Cornershop album called When I Was Born For The 7th Time. Here’s the track “Candyman:”
