The Weekend & Daft Punk’s “Starboy” Receives a Cover With a Twist

We can all admit that Daft Punk’s resurgence after the Tron soundtrack put them in a league of their own, but with their latest collab with The Weekend, “Starboy”, wasn’t the Daft Punk sound that many purists were hoping for.

Enter Samuraiguitarist. Born in the Manitoba prefecture of Canada, Steve-san Onotera honed his discipline under the study of the country’s most powerful musical sensei. Rearranging the composition to fit the recent smooth ambiance given off during their Random Access Memories masterpiece, Samuraiguitarist grinds away with Nile Rodgers style guitar rifts as he gives his own take vocally with a talk box.

Given the recent rumor mill about Daft Punk’s return to the tour circuit, this psychedelic video should tide anyone over until any other news pops up about the infamous French duo.
