DAFT PUNK – “Something About Us (PYRAMID Remix)” February 13, 2011
Pyramid’s version of Daft Punk’s “Something About Us” is more of a great cover than it is a remix. There’s an undeniable groove in the original that Pyramid easily replicates and lets shine in his own take on the Discovery classic. Read More…
