On January 28th, hip hop artist Kanye West’s blog posted an unreleased Daft Punk song called “The Crash” and offered it to fans for free download on kanyeuniversecity.com. In actuality, the song was not authored or performed by Daft Punk, but by Calamity Jane Recordings artist Pilotpriest, and its not called “the Crash,” its called “Body Double.”
The song can be found on Pilotpriest’s Myspace page, and is the first song on the player. When Pilotpriest heard about Kanye’s post, he commented, “Really, really flattered, but this is just a Myspace rip or Sendspace hack of my track.” Likewise, Dani Deahl, co-owner of Calamity Jane Recordings says, “We love the comparison of our artist’s production to Daft Punk, but the claim simply isn’t true. The song was composed by, and belongs to Pilotpriest”.
The post by Kanye spurred rumors that Daft Punk produced the song for their upcoming project – scoring the remake of Tron. Several commenters on the blog assert it as fact and videos have appeared on youtube.com with combined hits of nearly 30,000 in three days. In the wake of the song’s popularity, Calamity Jane Recordings is rushing release of “Body Double” on iTunes.
Calamity Jane Recordings discovered Toronto-based Pilotpriest in 2007 through his bootleg of Run DMC’s “My Adidas”. Since then, Calamity Jane Recordings has worked with Pilotpriest supporting him in developing a sound that straddles the spectrum between the dance floor and more musical productions. The result has been a string of acclaimed remixes, including re-released Pilotpriest vs. Run DMC: “My Adidas”, a remix for American Idol’s Blake Lewis, and debut single “Zipper”.
