Daft Punk

They are often compared to the Chemical Brothers, referring to their quest for new, unusual sounds. Daft Punk themselves deny this succession in their rare media appearances. They do not seek fame; they just work for their own enjoyment. Thomas and Guy met in school in 1987 and aligned in musical interests. They were not interested in French music, but that didn’t bother them at all. They found no likeminded individuals, but this only strengthened their friendship. In 1990, Thomas and Guy formed a rock band called "Darling," where Guy was the songwriter and vocalist, while Thomas played bass guitar. Several of their songs were released under the label of the recording company StereoLab. Following this release was a review in the press ("Melody Maker"), which stated they were "mad punks." In English, it sounded as "daft punks." Thomas and Guy shifted their plans, deciding to work in the techno style. It was decided to name the band "Daft Punk." They signed a contract with the Swiss label Soma and primarily worked for the English market. Their debut single, released in 1994, was titled "The New Wave." Thomas and Guy undertook remixing, which solidified their recognition. After the release of the single "Da Funk," Daft Punk received worldwide acclaim. Over 30,000 copies of the single were sold. In 2001, MTV declared this single the best techno track in the last twenty years. In 1996, the band released the album "Home Work." After several years of hiatus, Daft Punk returned to the music scene, releasing the album "Discovery" and three singles: "One more time," "Aerodynamic," and "Digital love." Four music videos for the new album were directed by the legend of Japanese animation Leiji Matsumoto.
