Who is Daft Punk?

The robots who made dance music feel like the future.

Daft Punk — the French duo of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo — are among the most influential and innovative acts in the history of electronic music. Hidden behind their iconic robot helmets, Daft Punk turned French house into a worldwide phenomenon and inspired countless artists across dance, pop and hip-hop.

From the raw house of Homework (1997) and the era-defining Discovery (2001) to the Grammy-sweeping Random Access Memories (2013), Daft Punk constantly reinvented themselves. Anthems like "Around the World," "One More Time," "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" and "Get Lucky" became cultural landmarks.

Their legendary 2006–2007 Alive pyramid tour redefined live electronic shows, and their score for Tron: Legacy brought them to Hollywood. Daft Punk disbanded in February 2021, leaving behind one of the greatest catalogues in modern music. Explore more electronic music artists in the full DJ directory, or visit their official site.

Daft Punk made the future sound like a party — and then made the party sound like art.
