The robots may be long gone, but Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter is back – and showing his face.
The robots may be long gone, but Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter is back – and showing his human face.
Bangalter, the silver-helmeted half of the legendary French electronic duo, made a rare return to the decks on Saturday night, joining Fred Again., Erol Alkan, and Pedro Winter for a surprise back-to-back DJ set at Paris’ Centre Pompidou.
During the late-night set, he mixed Daft Punk classics “Rollin’ & Scratchin’,” “Digital Love,” and “Contact,” among other electronic classics, according to Pitchfork.
The unannounced performance marked the 20th anniversary of Because Music, and was Bangalter’s first DJ appearance in 16 years – and his first without Daft Punk’s trademark helmet in more than two decades.
