When you think about it,
Daft Punk were kind of an unlikely success story.
Who’d have thought that two French guys dressed up as robots, playing a retro-futuristic style of electro funk, would become one of the biggest acts in the world. But it happened.
Grammy-winning electronic music duo Daft Punk announced they are breaking up after 28 years.
Across four incredible albums, a handful of unforgettable tour spectaculars and amongst a whole lot of intrigue, Daft Punk became true icons of modern music.
They married the worlds of house, funk, rock, hip hop and pop in weird and wonderful ways, and their songs still get a dancefloor pumping like nothing else.
Daft Punk announce split with
Electroma excerpt, ‘Epilogue’
The robots are powering down for the last time.
Daft Punk are splitting up. The legendary producers Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo announced their breakup by sharing an excerpt of their 2006 sci-fi film
Electroma. Titled ‘Epilogue’, the clip shows two robots saying goodbye in a desert, before one of them asks the other to flick their self-destruct switch.
The Parisian duo formed in 1993, with their early tracks ‘Da Funk’ and ‘Around The World’ from their debut album Homework having a huge influence on the French touch sound. Their follow up album, Discovery, catapulted them into even more mainstream global success with the singles ‘One More Time’ and ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’.
