There's a lot of these Daft Punk bootleg remixes floating around with hit or miss results. This one by fellow Frenchmen Cherokee does a good job of singling out and slightly reworking the funkiest elements of "Something About Us" one of the slower jams on the robotic duo's 2001 Discovery LP. With a "don't fix it if it's not broken" ethic, Cherokee add a subtle Braxe/Falke air to the track and get rid of most of the original's vocals makings this a welcome addition to a world where Daft Punk have yet to release new original material that's not Disney related since the mid 00s.

At Red Cup we've made an oath to post any new bit of music emitted from the studio of the robotic duo that needs no introduction...even if it's old but new. We'd heard for a while now that Scottish techno imprint Somahad gotten it's hands on an old lost demo for a track that Daft Punk had sent to the label as a B-Side to"Rolling and Scratching" in 1994. The label opted for the now classic "Da Funk" instead and completely forgot about "Drive" until now. The tracks will be featured on the label's 20th year anniversary compilation which you can pre-order here. Listen to a preview of the 909 kick-drum led old school techno track below:
