Toonami Midnight Run Special Edition Features Animated Music Videos From Daft Punk, Gorillaz and Toonami: Deep Space Bass
Special Edition Scheduled To Air August 31 on Cartoon Network
Cartoon Network will interrupt its regularly scheduled programming on August 31 to air a Toonami Midnight Run Special Edition featuring animated music videos from Daft Punk, the Gorillaz and Toonami: Deep Space Bass. The hour-long special, hosted by TOM, the 3-D computer generated host of the Toonami programming block, will begin at midnight (ET, PT).
During the hour-long Toonami block, viewers will get to watch the world premiere of the Daft Punk animated video for "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger," from the band’s recently released album, Discovery. The video is the fourth in a series of Daft Punk music videos created for the band by famed Japanese animator Leiji Matsumoto. The band’s first three videos (“One More Time,” “Aerodynamic,” and “Digital Love”) will also air during the Toonami Midnight Run Special Edition. In addition, the special will include three Gorillaz videos (“Clint Eastwood,” “19-2000” and “Tomorrow Comes Today”) and four videos from tracks off of Toonami: Deep Space Bass, including “Mad Rhetoric” and “Dreams.”
Daft Punk has been on the cutting edge of dance music since 1995. Their Homework release achieved sales of more than two million copies worldwide and features dance staples, “Da Funk” and “Around the World.” The first single, “One More Time,” from their latest release, Discovery, landed on top of the dance charts in the U.S., France and on the Eurochart.
Made up of four crazed animated musicians, the Gorillaz meld their diverse backgrounds into a subversive, modern, yet utterly accessible sound. All the rage in the U.S. and the U.K., Gorillaz is made up of bassist Murdoc, frontman 2D, drummer Russel and guitarist Noodle.
Toonami: Deep Space Bass features drum and bass music composed exclusively for the Toonami programming block and featured on-air during the computer-animated interstitial elements that weave the block together. The 18 tracks, expanded especially for this release, appear in their entirety for the first time on the CD.
