Instant Crush was released by Daft Punk in 2013 on Random Access Memories, with vocals by Julian Casablancas of The Strokes, and it has remained a favourite for nostalgic edits ever since. Brazilian phonk, a bass-heavy offshoot of funk and drift phonk, grew through short-form video in the early 2020s, where creators paired distorted low end with car, gym and night-time footage. This version follows that trend, keeping the original melody recognisable while reshaping it for modern edits, which is why it continues to appear in montages and reels.
About this sound
A Brazilian phonk version of Daft Punk's Instant Crush, turning the 2013 song into a heavy, bass-driven track used in car videos, gym clips and edits.
This clip is a Brazilian phonk rework of Instant Crush, the Daft Punk song featuring Julian Casablancas, rebuilt around the genre's signature distorted bass, punchy drums and sped-up, echoing vocals. The familiar melody survives underneath the heavier production, so it feels both nostalgic and aggressive at the same time. The low-end hits hard on phone speakers and car systems, giving edits a dark, high-energy pulse that suits night drives, training footage and slow-motion action. It works best as a short burst of momentum, letting the bass drop carry a reveal or a transition without needing any dialogue.
