Back in August, Scottish techno flagship Soma announced the tracklisting for its forthcoming 20 Years compilation, with one significant surprise. While sorting through the vaults, the label had unearthed a vintage Daft Punk record from 1994.

“At the tail end of 2010 we combed through boxes of DATs, pictures and god knows what else to find artefacts of Soma’s early days,” one of the label’s key players Chris Lamb wrote at the time. “Imagine our surprise when we discovered a tape simply titled ‘Daft Drive’. We hooked up the DAT machine and inserted the tape with the utmost care, pressing play and praying that for one, the tape contained what we hoped, and two, that it didn’t savage it like a dog chewing on a bone.”

The track has now surfaced online, so you can take a listen below. We reckon Lamb puts it perfectly when describing the first play of the tape: “In amongst the hiss and crackle, a monstrous 909 kick drum began to thud – Daft Punk’s Drive track had been rediscovered. Playing through was live Daft Punk: the freaky vocals, pounding Roland drums & synths and that distinctive DP compression.”
