Soma 20th Birthday: Daft Punk – Da Funk
One of the greatest things that we can thank Soma Recordings for in their 20 year history is bringing us Daft Punk. With some of the best albums of the 90′s and early 2000′s, an amazing live show and projects like the Tron Legacy soundtrack, the French duo sit at the top of the tree. [...]
