Daft Punk

I was relaxing on a Saturday night after coming home from hanging. I unwinded and watched the latest SNL. You know the usual. Then as I was looking at my phone I heard the funkiest newest tune. I looked up and a rising screen unvieled the name Daft Punk. And then it showed both of their helmets. The commercial was 7 seconds long. I was so confused I watched it again. I went to the computer to look up this info. "Daft Punk announces new album." I didn't finish the SNL episode.

I'm so pumped. These guys are the greatest DJ/House artists of all time. Thier music is so influential on a lot of Pop/House/Electronic artists today. The samples they use and the beats are incredible. The only album of their I didn't like had to Daft Club which was a cool idea. But it wasn't them originally. It was just a bunch of remixes.

My favorite album is their Pop album Discovery. It has my favorite Daft Punk song "Digital Love" and many more. This group has worked with the best in music and everyone in music today has respect for these legends. Chumps like Skrillex and Avicii have nothing on these veterans.

They are so diverse with their electronic music also. Most diverse electronic artists of all time. They have three albums. Homework, which is a funk album mostly. Discovery, which is a Pop album. And Human After All, which is their Rock album. It's about as Rock as electronic music can get.

They also are one of the best artists to see live period. They set the standards for DJ's live performances. Swedish House Mafia, Deadmau5, Bassnectar, Avicii, Fat Boy Slim, all of them have taken one or two tricks from Daft Punks sleeves.

 Their real names are Guy-Manuel de Homen-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. They are french. That is all about their personal lives I genuinely care about besides their badass samples and beats and funky rythyms.

I can't wait for this album.

My favorite Daft song, "Digital Love"
The most famous Daft song the Kanye took his sample from, "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger."
And also here's a little clip of their live shows. They never just simply play one of their songs. They always mix a couple of their songs together to make a mind blowing sound wave of God.
