Another Daft Punk Post - WHY NOT!

So after looking at this years DJ MAG Top 100 DJs LIST, I noticed that Daft Punk had crawled up the list once again to #33. SO WHY the jump? They haven't had any releases or live events that I'm aware of. The only exception to this would of course be the announcement of the musical production for the upcoming Tron Legacy film would be entirely done by them.

HOW EVER 
The jump could simply just be because more people have become introduced to the duo. With that being said, I'd like to share with you an absolute classic 10/10...
The one and only BBC Radio One Essential Mix done way back in 1997! This is Quite possibly the best Essential Mix I've ever heard next to Paul Oakenfold's 94' GOA MIX
