French electronic music duo Daft Punk announced that they’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of their final album, Random Access Memories, with a reissue containing nine unreleased tracks.
Daft Punk disbanded in February 2021, which perhaps made the announcement all the more exciting for fans as they flooded the group’s official Twitter handle showcasing their unbridled joy.

Demos and outtakes part of the unreleased tracks
The nine unreleased tracks which are part of the expanded 10th-anniversary edition of the album total a playing time of 35 minutes. They include demos and studio outtakes.
Among the unreleased tracks is an early take of “Get Lucky,” which originally featured Pharrell Williams and was co-written by the Daft Punk duo of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo along with Nile Rodgers.
Studio outtakes include “Give Life Back to Music” while among the demos is “Infinity Repeating” from 2013. Vocoder tests from “Lose Yourself to Dance” are also part of the album.
The bonus tracks conclude with “Touch (2021 Epilogue)” — the track with which they bid their farewell in 2021.
Random Access Memories was originally released in 2013. It earned Daft Punk three Grammy Awards — Album of the Year, Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical, and Best Dance/Electronica Album.
The 10th-anniversary edition will be available for purchase on 12 May in double CD and triple vinyl. It will also be made available for streaming and download as well as in an Atmos mix on the same day.
