“Yasmine Hamdan: the modern face of Arabic music”
Raised in devastated Beirut, electro popster Yasmine Hamdan has become the modern face of Arabic music. Laura Barton meets her in Maidstone
A Beefeater restaurant in Maidstone does not seem the natural place to find Yasmine Hamdan. Here, ahead of her performance on Later with Jools Holland, she sits behind a coffee, a slight, moon-eyed woman shrouded in scarves and a flounce of black hair, talking with a beautifully extravagant intensity that makes the chain-pub decor look rather plain.

“Daft Punk: the midas touch”
Daft Punk's new album is astoundingly ambitious, creating a frenzy even before it has appeared. On the eve of its release – and 20 years since they made their first record in their bedroom as teenagers – Dorian Lynskey gets beyond the helmets to talk to the notoriously shy French duo
It is a peculiar experience meeting the most famous faceless musicians in the world. Daft Punk are certainly well known. Eight years after their last album, their influence can be felt throughout dance music and beyond. Their fourth release, Random Access Memories, is the most hysterically anticipated record in years: every tidbit disseminated online over the past two months has been scrutinised like a fragment of the true cross. At a point in their career when most bands are on a downward slope, Daft Punk have just celebrated their first number one single, "Get Lucky", and are somehow…

“Daft Punk's album reviewed”
The French dance duo throw down the gauntlet to their imitators on their eagerly awaited – and often awe-inspiring – new album
On YouTube, you can find cameraphone footage of an advert for Daft Punk's fourth studio album that was beamed out from the main stage at last month's Coachella festival. If you want proof that Random Access Memories is, by some distance, the most eagerly anticipated album of recent years, then here it is. For one thing, there's the very fact that, in the middle of a festival, someone's opted to get their phone out and film not a band, or their friends, or the sunburnt man with his eyeballs pointing in different directions who's drawn a crowd outside the dance tent by stripping naked from the waist down and manipulating his genitals in time to the music, but an advert being shown on the big screens. For…
