Daft Punk
• Consists of two French musicians – Guy-Manuel
  de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter.
• The duo met in 1987 while at school in Paris. The
  two became good friends and formed a band
  called Darlin’ with Laurent Brancowitz in 1992.
• A bad review in Melody Maker dubbed their
  music ‘a bunch of daft punk’.
• The band soon disbanded, leaving Bangalter and
  de Homem-Christo to form Daft Punk and
  experiment with drum machines and
  synthesizers.
• The duo met the directors of a small Scottish
  techno label called Soma at a giant rave at
  Eurodisney in 1993.
• A year later Daft punk released their debut
  single, which proved a bit hit with the British
  music press.
• The group became a pioneering force in the
  techno/house scene, integrating elements of
  other musical styles such as disco, rock and
  groove, moving away from the pure house sound
  which originated in Chicago.
• Daft Punk returned to the studio in May 1995
  and recorded ‘Da Funk’, a techno/dance/rock
  instrumental which catapulted them to the
  forefront of the international dance scene.
• The duo were suddenly in demand, and spent
  the following year touring Europe.
• They were particularly popular on the London
  dance scene.
• The duo’s fame began to spread beyond the
  underground rave scene, and they were
  signed by Virgin records in 1996.
• Their hit ‘Musique’ was included on a
  compilation on Virgin’s techno label, Source.
• Daft Punk went on to set up their own label,
  Daft Trax to control their own productions.
• In 1997, they released their debut album,
  ‘Homework’. It was distributed in 35 countries
  and sold over 2 million copies in just a few
  months.
• They released a new single, ‘Around the
  World’ in April of the same year, which
  rocketed to the top of the European charts,
  and also became a huge hit in the American
  charts.
• Daft Punk went on to release ‘Discovery’ in 2001.
  After two weeks of sale the album had sold over
  1.2 million copies.
• In 2004, they released ‘Human After All’ .
• The next few years included greatest hits
  releases, and a mini worldwide tour, attracting
  crowds of around 35,000.
• In 2010, the duo composed the soundtrack for
  Walt Disney’s Tron, in which they married
  synthesizers with a symphony orchestra.
