Daft Punk is an electronic music duo consisting of French musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter.
Random Access Memories is Daft Punk's proper new album in eight years. Its set for a release on the duos label Daft Life Limited, under Columbia Records. May 17th is the official release date, but your guess is as good as mine when we'll see an album download leak.
The album has been confirmed by several news outlets since it was listed on iTunes. It's been announced that Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers, and Panda Bear will feature as collaborates.
A radio edit of first single "Get Lucky" leaked recently, and since there were fakes floating around with the ads and promos simply mixed together, many questioned the songs legitimacy. Turns out the radio edit was in fact real and you can read our full report about the singles official launch.
Below you can listen to Get Lucky making its debut on a dutch radio station.
I absolutely LOVE Give Life Back to Music! Can’t wait to hear it at album quality!
as they watch this album leak:O ;/
Anyone care to take a guess as to when this might leak??
probably in the next few days. It’s streaming on iTunes on the 13th so we’ll be able to hear it by then at the latest
It has to leak at least by the 13th, since people will probably be ripping it from the itunes stream.
11AM, Eastern Standard Time, USA, May 12th.
Where did you get that information from?
Just preordered my Vinyl on amazon. Can’t wait for this.

Look at the album hype rating… Just crazy…

https://embed.spotify.com/?uri=spotify:album:4m2880jivSbbyEGAKfITCa does this work? not available in Canada/
Doesn’t work in Switzerland too :(
Doesn’t work in US either.
I don’t think it works anywhere
Yeah, the Spotify thing apparently doesn’t work anywhere. They simply can’t make it easy for us. Furthermore, I refuse to listen to any of these low quality leaks. If I’ve got to wait till it streams or leaks properly, fine, but I’m not going to play sub-AM radio audio for a preview of something that really sounds nothing like the actual music in question.
That was the full album to listen or just 30 sec of each track?
There will be a FULL album stream in less than 24 hours… It’s most likely in 192 kbps
This is soooo gonna leak, super excited!
One more time we’re gonna celebrate!
WHERE IS THAT ALBUM FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
dat hype rating…
has anything on this site reached such a level?
Guys, I didn’t mean the WHOLE song, it’s just a 2min snippet but sounds damn good
Sooo is this gonna stream or what?

Daaamn!! This sounds epic! thanks mate ;)
Expect a leak today or tomorrow folks. The album is out on May 17 in my country and that’s only 4 days away.
Here is an iTunes stream that will probably be up 12AM 5/13. (that’s in an hour)

Cool beans
Thank you!!
This got debunked over at /mu/ unfortunately
yep :(
boo :(
Are you saying that the iTunes streaming rumor was debunked or that the link Cameron sent is fake?
We’re all fans of DP, we’ve all been waiting for years, we’re so huge fans since Homework, blah-blah-blah… But despite that we refuse to wait and disrespect artists’ will to release it on May 21. Funny, isn’t it?
Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 will be playing new tracks from RAM at 7pm BST / 2pm EST /11am PST Monday stay tune!!!!!!
Maybe that means that an iTunes stream is more probable now that we know others will be playing the songs on the radio? I sure hope so!
I hate to be “that guy” but I don’t think we’ll get a leak before the 17th. I’m just sayin’, never heard of itunes streaming a full album before, it kinda defeats the purpose of selling the album. But, let’s hope I’m not “that guy”.
Zane Lowe promises to air some tracks today, leaks are coming anyway :)

well check this out
iTunes streamed Justin Timberlake and Vampire Weekend’s albums recently. I was skeptical of DP streaming because of the WeeWaa stuff but an ad went up tonight confirming it. Go to pitchfork, turn off adblock and f5 a few times and youll get the ad.
Are you from the year 1999?
How have you never heard of an iTunes stream before?
Actually I’m from 1985! But you’re telling me that iTunes streams FULL SONGS from albums that aren’t even out yet? Besides the 30 sec usual snippets, I’ve never heard of such thing…mainly because it’s stupid…any person with an external recorder could rip the album easily. I don’t get the point of it…sorry.
As well as any person with a gun can rob a bank… theoretically. :)
iTunes indeed streams full albums prior to release dates, it’s not the first time.
I’ll take that back then.
Are you really from 1985?
No, actually I’m Jesus Christ and I’m going to turn “NOT LEAKED” to “LEAKED” :P
Yes, Depeche Mode’s newest album was streaming in full on iTunes a week before its official release date. It happens.
Holy shit, you’re Marty McFly!
Seems like the streaming will be up here https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/random-access-memories/id617154241 it’s a matter of hours.
is there anything that says it will stream on itunes today or it’s just a rumor ?
The word “Now”?
mixmag says it might, also pitchfork has ads for full album stream already… but no stream yet
A word of advice to all Daft Punk fans! If the site hasn’t reported it as leaked, don’t get too excited about a commenter making claims about a leak. And until it is reported as leaked, Google isn’t really your friend. The chances of someone finding a random file sharing link, and that happens to be the leak origin, is slim to none.
We have our leak reporting system in place, to prevent people from downloading fake files.
That’s not always the case though, as I have found leaks in the past through this comment section and Google around 24hrs before this page reported it.
True, but with a major release like Daft Punk – Be sure this is going to get reported within seconds of a confirmed legit leak.
Yeah, fair enough!
I can’t wait for all of these people Googling “ram leak”
Or just wait a couple of days?
People are actually traveling through time to hear this album
This thing is reaching its culmination. Hype rating – 411. I’ll go crazy if I don’t get that stream today!
