Daft Club is the first remix album by the French electronic music duo Daft Punk, released on 1 December 2003 by Virgin Records. The album features numerous remixes of tracks from their second album, Discovery (2001), and one from their debut, Homework (1997).
The album received mixed reviews from critics who often considered the remixes of songs from Discovery inferior to their original counterparts.
Background
The name of the album comes from Daft Punk's online music service, which featured remixed songs, a live recording of Daft Punk performing at the Que Club (which would later be released as Alive 1997), and an a cappella and instrumental version of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger". The service was available for free to people who bought initial pressings of the Discovery album. Each album included a Daft Club membership card, which granted access to the Daft Club website. The service originally ended in January 2003.[1]
In regards to the album and online music service, Thomas Bangalter stated:
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
It's great to find a new channel where there is an open access, open door to more, but not more than had to be done before. It's establishing a connection between people that listen to our music and ourselves. There's no limits of time, and it helps people get and listen to this music. A track that could have been done today can be online tomorrow. The other thing is to really express ourselves through the Internet. And the other thing is to really bring some value in the CD itself. Buying the CD should not become a charity thing for the record industry. That's really important, because that's what it became, in a way. People that would buy our CD would say, 'I'm buying the CD because I want to help the artist,' and it's bullshit in a way, to have to think like that. It's a real thing, and it's regretful.[2]

Also featured is the "Aerodynamic" B-side titled "Aerodynamite", the previously unreleased track "Ouverture" and a remix of the Homework track "Phoenix".
A vinyl repress of the album was released on 9 September 2022.[3] For the 20th anniversary of Interstella 5555, Daft Punk reissued Discovery with Japanese artwork, stickers, and Daft Club membership cards.
