Daft Punk will be premiering an unreleased song on Thursday at The Centre Pompidou in Paris. The event marks the 10th anniversary of the group’s final album, Random Access Memories. The track is titled “Infinity Repeating,” and will feature Julian Casablancas. It also will be included in the duo’s 10th-anniversary reissue of Random Access Memories, which releases Friday.
“The Centre Pompidou unveils in world premiere Infinity Repeating (2013 Demo), an unreleased track by Daft Punk (feat. Julian Casablancas + The Voidz, 2013),” a statement on the venue’s website reads. “This song features on the 10th anniversary edition of the famous album Random Access Memories which won 5 Grammy awards, available from 12 May.” They go on to describe the event as having three ways to engage with it. One is through an “ultra-high fidelity listening experience, with a sound system composed of over 30 speakers.” A second is a “cinematic experience,” while a third is described as a “collective experience.”

Daft Punk first announced they’d be breaking up with an eight-minute “Epilogue” video released back in 2021. While they didn’t immediately explain the decision, member Thomas Bangalter recently provided further details during an interview with BBC in April. “[In Daft Punk,] we tried to use these machines to express something extremely moving that a machine cannot feel, but a human can,” Bangalter told the outlet. “We were always on the side of humanity and not on the side of technology… As much as I love this character, the last thing I would want to be, in the world we live in, in 2023, is a robot.”
“Infinity Repeating” isn’t the only time that Daft Punk has collaborated with Julian Casablancas. He also appeared on the song, “Instant Crush,” which is featured on the original Random Access Memories tracklist. Other collaborations on the project include Giorgio Moroder, Panda Bear, Todd Edwards, DJ Falcon, Chilly Gonzales, Nile Rodgers, Paul Williams, Nathan East, and Pharrell Williams. The group previously reissued their pivotal debut album, Homework, last year.
