German Band Toy does live cover of Boys Noize, Daft Punk, and More

This is a couple of months old, so forgive me if you have heard it, but I thought this was too impressive not to post.  In this video, a German Band named Toy does live covers of Daft Punk, Justice, Mr. Oizo and Boys Noize.  It is really amazing how these dudes were able to capture the spirit of these artists with all live instruments and no samples.  They even do a jaw-dropping mix of Let There be Light by Justice and Aerodynamic by Daft Punk.  Watch the video below:


The tracklist is as follows:

0:09 Daft Punk - Robot Rock
1:55 Justice - Let there be light / 3:04 Daft Punk - Aerodynamic
4:26 Mr. Oizo - Cut Dick
5:23 Justice - Helix
6:54 Boys Noize - & Down

Here is what Toy has written about themselves on their website: 

"TOY is a dance-generator! By processing huge energy input, different worlds of music are melted down. The product is a technoid noise-colossus that transforms tracks by heroes of the electronic scene such as Justice, Boys Noize and Daft Punk into a handcrafted “Gesamtkunstwerk”. In doing so, any jugglery is avoided – true to the motto: “No synths, no samples, no compromises.” Thus the eight-headed monster-collective creates a technically elaborate mélange of technoid banging, organic disco beats and rock’n'roll sweat. The performance will delight open-air ravers as well as instrument-freaks, because TOY master the acoustic sledgehammer just the same as the nuances which reveal the love for details and musicality. So after Electro occupied the dance floors in the last years, handicraft is now simply taking over electronic music. This is the DJ mixset 2.0!"
