Daft Punk

From their first single release in 1993, DAFT PUNK, featuring the combined talents of DJs Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter,was hailed as a new breed of house innovators. Daft Punk's sound is a brazen, dancefloor-oriented blend of progressive house, funk, electro and techno, with sprinklings of hip-hop-styled breakbeats and excessive, crowd-firing samples.

Following their brilliant debut in 1997 (Homework), the duo went on to release two more studio albums (Discovery in 2001, Human after All in 2005) and two live albums (Alive 1997, Alive 2007). Daft Punk recontextualized the scope of their career in 2007 through an awe-inspiring live show that toured internationally and their directorial film debut, Daft Punk‘s Electroma.

Daft Punk‘s collaboration with Kanye West on his hit single Stronger was hailed as The Song of the Year by SPIN Magazine (January 2008 issue). They performed with West on the Grammy Awards in 2008, marking their first and only U.S. television appearance.
