One that is shared with millions of people around the world!


I've been thinking a lot about the first track to be uploaded on the site. It can't be just any new track. It has to have that special feeling, one that is shared with millions of people around the world. Come to think of it, it's called "Around The World"!

In 1997 Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo released their first studio album as the world famous duo Daft Punk, called Homework! Track number 7 on that album would also be release as their second single and what a track it was. Around the world is particularly known for the repeated phrasing of its title. On the album version it was repeated 144 times and on the radio edit 80 times.




Another cool impact of the track was it's musicvideo. Directed and choreographed by Academy Award winning Michel Gondry the video is still one of the most famous dance musicvideos ever made. As described by Michel himself, robots walking around in a circle on a platform (which represents a vinyl record), tall athletes wearing tracksuits with small prosthetic heads walking up and down stairs, women dressed like synchronized swimmers moving up and down another set of stairs, skeletons dancing in the center of the "record," and mummies dancing in time with the song's drum pattern.

Awesome track, awesome video, enjoy both of them and I hope to see you people around here more often as a lot more housemusic will be presented and discussed!
