Originally released on May 17, 2013, this album marked a significant departure from the duo's previous work, embracing live instrumentation and a more organic sound. The 10th Anniversary Edition, released on May 12, 2023, not only revisits the original tracks but also offers fans a treasure trove of previously unreleased material, remixes, and behind-the-scenes insights that deepen our appreciation for this groundbreaking work.
From the moment you press play, you’re transported into a world where disco meets electronic, where nostalgia intertwines with innovation. The original "Random Access Memories" was a bold statement, featuring collaborations with legendary artists like Nile Rodgers, Pharrell Williams, and Giorgio Moroder.

The album's lead single, "Get Lucky," became a global phenomenon, dominating charts and airwaves, and it’s hard to overstate how much it reinvigorated interest in disco and funk music.
The 10th Anniversary Edition includes a wealth of bonus content that fans will find irresistible. Among the standout tracks is the previously unreleased "Horizon," which showcases Daft Punk's signature sound while also hinting at the lush, expansive soundscapes they are known for.
