The French duo emerged from the underground dance music scene to become canonical figures and, eventually, mainstream global stars with 2013’s “Get Lucky.”
Daft Punk have decided to split up, their publicist confirmed to Newsweek. Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo formed the group in 1993 and found success early within the emerging underground dance scene, which blended house music with experimental sounds and an indie-rock ethos. The masked duo released a number of iconic albums throughout their career, including 1997’s Homework,2001’s Discovery and the 2007 live record, Alive 2007. Daft Punk actually found a new level of mainstream success in 2013, though, with what turned to be their final studio album, Random Access Memories.
