The album marked a change in direction for the duo, abandoning the rock-influenced sound of their debut album “Homework” in favor of a more pop and disco-oriented style.

“Rollin’ and Scratchin'” (Daft Punk Remix)

This Daft Punk remix of “Rollin’ and Scratchin'” by the French house duo Justice is one of the best examples of the group’s signature sound. The original track is a high-energy dance anthem, but Daft Punk’s remix adds an extra layer of excitement with its pulsing bassline and frenetic scratchwork. The result is a dancefloor-ready track that will get even the most reluctant party-goer moving.

“Teachers” (Daft Punk Remix)

One of the best Daft Punk remixes comes in the form of a track called “Teachers” which is a remix of a song by the band Lovage.

The result is a track that’s both catchy and memorable, and one that’s sure to get your feet moving.
