Looking forward to seeing this one.
Dillon Francis feels blessed after playing Coachella for 2 years in a row, and to mark this occasion he decided to give something back. Remixing such a classic track like "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is a mark of a maturing and more confident Dillon Francis who dares to take on such an iconic track and put his special spin on it.

Credit goes to DJ Tech Tools for finding out that Daft Punk's elaborate DJ booth set up at the Grammys performance last night wasn't just stagecraft. The equipment used was very real, as explained by DJ Tech Tools:
"Look closely at the knob layout – Daft Punk is up to their old tricks, building in what appear to be 14 Behringer BCR-2000s (a nearly 8-year-old product now) into their set."
This is pretty fantastic if you ask me. But why build such a massive undertaking for just one performance? The rumours of an impending Daft Punk tour are rife on the Internet and after seeing this custom DJ set up one can only surmise that it would make a lot of sense if Daft Punk took this rig on tour. We'll have to just wait and see.

Kinda weird that they didn't perform live though, especially after that entire Colbert incident.

According to this latest Huffington Post article reporting on a recent interview of Colbert, it would seem that it was possibly Daft Punk that cancelled their highly anticipated appearance on the show:
"Colbert says that he still was unsure why exactly the cancelation occurred. "MTV says they had an exclusive arrangement, Daft Punk says they don't have an exclusive arrangement," he told Mecurio. This corresponds with MTV's official statement, which was that the cancelation was the choice of the band, not the network."
