Daft Punk Artist Snapshot:

French 1990s neo-disco duo Daft Punk found stardom as a discovery of the Chemical Brothers. With an egalitarian approach to making people move, Daft Punk utilized everything from strict club beats to Beach Boys and Roxy Music samples when making its infectious dance music. The duo garnered a sizable fan base thanks to a down-to-earth ethic and a fun futuristic aesthetic that accompanied their mix of techno funk and old-school beats.

Title Note

Daft Punk: Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo.

Producers: Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo.

Recorded at Daft House, Paris, France.

"Da Funk" was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.

"Around The World" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.

Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, the two French twenty-something DJs who make up Daft Punk, are relentless dance-music aficionados and historians. And unlike many of their contemporaries, their interests don't just lie in the electronic beats that have been rockin' the clubs since the mid-80s. The two knob-twiddlers are just as well-versed in Giorgio Moroder's Eurodisco grooves, Chic, and the old-school rhythms of Afrika Bambaata and the Sugarhill Records catalog, as they are in the Chicago house and Detroit techno traditions.

When they're not assembling catchy-as-hell bits of electro-pop ("Around The World"), throwing down slabs of minimalist funk ("Da Funk"), or marrying Miami bass to Kraftwerkian blips ("Oh Yeah"), Homem-Christo and Bangalter try to impart a little knowledge. On "Teachers," they use a Ween-esque distorted vocal line to name-check a broad list of influences that includes Brian Wilson, Dr. Dre, and Armand Van Helden. Their broad focus, utopian determination and, of course, their way with a beat earn Daft Punk's HOMEWORK a well-deserved "A".
