Pharrell Williams has recounted his experiences working with legendary French duo Daft Punk on their 2013 album ‘Random Access Memories’ – see what he had to say below.In a newly released episode of Daft Punk’s ‘Memory Tapes’ video series to celebrate the 10th anniversary of ‘Random Access Memories’, Pharrell spoke about how he first got the opportunity to work with Daft Punk, and how he came to collaborate with them on two songs on the 2013 album.Pharrell recalled The Neptunes meeting Busy P, who offered them the chance to remix Daft Punk’s ‘Harder Better Faster Stronger’ in 2001.
