Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Derezzed' nightclub scene features actual Daft Punk cameo as masked DJs. They built a custom 16-bit synthesizer just for the film's sound design.
This film's visual language essentially minted the 'outrun' aesthetic that dominated 2010s electronic music and gaming — Cyberpunk 2077 owes it a debt.
