{"title":"Daft Punk","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Daft Punk\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaft Punk formed in Paris in 1993 around Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, who had previously performed together in the indie rock band Darlin' (a Melody Maker review of which had used the dismissive phrase a daft punky thrash, providing the name). They signed with Glasgow's Soma Recordings for their early singles and then Virgin Records for their landmark debut Homework (1997). The duo's robotic costume identities were established with Discovery (2001). They moved to Columbia for Random Access Memories (2013), which won Album of the Year at the 2014 Grammys. They announced their dissolution on February 22, 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaft Punk's sound spans French house, electronic dance music, disco, funk, and synth-pop. Their work essentially defined French house as an internationally recognized genre and shaped multiple subsequent waves of electronic and pop production. Random Access Memories (2013) marked a pivot toward live-musician disco-funk production with Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers, and Pharrell Williams as collaborators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomework (1997, Virgin\/Soma)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscovery (2001, Virgin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuman After All (2005, Virgin)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlive 2007 (2007, Virgin) - landmark live album\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRON: Legacy soundtrack (2010, Walt Disney)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRandom Access Memories (2013, Columbia) - Album of the Year Grammy 2014\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal Virgin and Columbia pressings of the Daft Punk catalog are widely collected.
