SURPRISE PERFORMANCE
OF "STRONGER" MARKS DAFT PUNK'S FIRST EVER TV PERFORMANCE IN THEIR
14 YEAR HISTORY. DAFT PUNK AND KANYE WEST PERFORMED AN ORIGINAL
VERSION OF "STRONGER" THAT THEY CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE EVENT.
The iconic and critically acclaimed
French duo Daft Punk made a surprise appearance at the 50th Grammy
Awards in Los Angeles Sunday night. For their first ever television
performance, they teamed up with Kanye West to perform his 2007
smash hit "Stronger", which samples the group's 2001 single "Harder
Better Faster Stronger" from their landmark album Discovery. For the
Grammy Awards, Daft Punk and Kanye West performed an original
version of "Stronger" they created specifically for this event,
marking Daft Punk's only television performance in the 14 year
history of the band.
2007 found Daft Punk more relevant than ever - both critically and
commercially. The duo redefined the scope of their career through a
mind-blowing live show that toured internationally, followed by the
theatrical release of their directorial film debut Daft Punk's
Electroma, and the release of their live album Alive 2007- all to
overwhelming accolades from fans and critics alike. The year
culminated into a cover shared with Kanye West for SPIN magazine.

Imagine you come to your favourite disco, and …. no music is played
on¡ This is something that in a no far future could happened to you,
because some clubs in Ibiza and of Valencia are actually testing it¡
and with a great success, as a system to prevent noises on the city
and troubles with the neighbourhood.
The
invention consist on ear cordless speakers that are provided on the
entrance of the disco, with volume control and even on some clubs
you can select your favourite channel of music. Now you can dance
with your rhythm without disturb the neighbourhood. It is
particularly useful on beach parties that on the past must close at
