Legendary electronic duo Daft Punk have dropped a trippy new music video for “Contact,” a track from their Grammy-winning 2013 album Random Access Memories. Created in collaboration with Epic Games and Magnopus, the cinematic clip expands on the universe introduced in Fortnite’s The Daft Punk Experience, an interactive audio-visual reimagining of the group’s album Alive 2007.
The video for “Contact,” which samples audio from NASA’s Apollo 17 mission, follows Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo on a kaleidoscopic voyage through space. The gravitational pull of a flashing diamond draws them in, and as they cross the event horizon of the mysterious object, their lives—and images from Daft Punk’s iconic videography—flash before their (and our) eyes.
