Voidz

When Julian Casablancas returned with his second non-Strokes record in 2014 (The Voidz‘s ‘Tyranny’) the world seemed bemused by the path he was taking. His 2009 solo album ‘Phrazes For The Young’ was a gleaming sci-fi pop masterpiece and The Strokes were, well, The Strokes. It might feel comfortable terming The Voidz’s debut as a “classic Julian” move now, but after all that it felt like a massive curveball – one full of dystopian chaos and sonic challenges.

2023 marks the 10th anniversary of Daft Punk multi Grammy winning hit record Random Access Memories including Get Lucky, Instant Crush, Lose Yourself To Dance and featuring Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers, Julian Casablancas, Paul Williams, Panda Bear and Todd Edwards. To celebrate this milestone a special expanded edition will be released including 35 minutes of unreleased music (Demo and Studio Outtakes). The triple vinyl includes a special Lose Yourself To Dance poster + 16 page booklet.

A departure from the band’s DIY psych-rock roots to a more mature and polished sound, the album was produced by Mattiel’s Jonah Swilley and recorded in May 2019 at Detroit’s acclaimed (and rumored haunted) Masonic Temple with Bill Skibbe (Jack White, The Kills) in a lodge belonging to the Free Masons’ Detroit chapter.

The year 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of Daft Punk's multi-Grammy-winning album Random Access Memories, featuring songs such as Get Lucky, Instant Crush, Lose Yourself To Dance, created with Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers, Julian Casablancas, Paul Williams, Panda Bear and Todd Edwards.
