Interviews for Memory Tapes were conducted at Henson Studios in Los Angeles and Gang Studios in Paris, in spaces where much of Random Access Memories was recorded, and where the collaborators worked. Along with each interview, the episodes contain archival footage and never before seen studio footage of Daft Punk as they crafted what became their final album. The first episode of the Memory Tapes series launched with Julian Casablancas to coincide with the 10th anniversary edition of Random Access Memories, and today Memory Tapes Episode 2 with Chilly Gonazales is unveiled. Upcoming episodes will feature Panda Bear, DJ Falcon, Todd Edwards, Pharell Williams, Nile Rodgers and Paul Williams & Chris Caswell.  Random Access Memories 10th Anniversary Edition debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The original album is a 2x Platinum, GRAMMY-award winning Album of the Year. “Get Lucky” is 8x Platinum, a #1 single in the UK. The 10th Anniversary Edition is available now in multiple formats: 3 LPs, 2 CDs, streaming, and download.
