I love Daft Punk so much. I hate that I never got a chance to see them live. I have the album Alive 2007 on repeat right now. (I say earlier stuff in the title because I didn’t care for the album Random Access Memories.)

Who else would you recommend I listen to? Especially if they’re still producing music. I love their loopy, sampled sound. Any other bands do something similar? Identical isn’t necessary, adjacent is fine.

      I wouldn’t call pretty lights up and coming. He headlined a festival I went to fifteen years ago. But I’m going to check your other recommendations cause I haven’t heard like half of them. Thank you!

        Sorry - didn’t know they had to be up and coming. I wouldn’t call most of the artists on that list that, but definitely worth checking out.

    I recommend listening to Thomas Bangalter’s other projects.

    I’m not sure if Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo had side projects too.

    You mean who is the next genre defining band combining modern electonica and classic Disco funk into bona-fide club bangers?

    Dunno… lemme know when you figure it out tho

        Isn’t Saint Pepsi vaporwave? I remember Enjoy Yourself or whatever that song was called, with Mac Tonight as the music video.

        Also, nu-disco is also a thing. Not sure if disco funk is more disco or more funk, as I’m not very familiar with the intricasies of disco

        I was a fan of Funky Panda on YouTube a few years back (~2019), mostly for electro swing, but they also uploaded future funk and nu-disco. Not anymore, though. Funky Way FM as an online radio appears to have come back, though

        Edit: here be the Funky Way: https://funkyway.net/

        Edit 2: there’s also an album credited to Kyo-2, Macintosh Plus, Saint Pepsi and Saint Germain on Spotify and the first song is entitled “VAPORWAVE THEME SONG.” Not sure if it is legit, as I’m not familiar enough with vaporwave. I recognise two names, though

    100% go see Air on tour right now. The Moon Safari tour might be the closest thing to peak Daft Punk shows but obviously the chill side of it. Incredible vibes at these shows with amazing stage production.

    Les Digitales Rhymes - Röyksopp is still active - Mirwais Ahmadzaï production - Basement Jaxx - The Avalanches (crazy amount of samples) - Danger - Red snapper (jazzy) - Dead mau5 ( not for me but the certainly took some the daft punk blueprint)

    Of course Justice, Underworld, DJ Shadow, Fatboy slim, chemical brothers, Orbital, LCD Soundsystem

      What genre are all these artist? I thought EDW but searching for EDM playlists does not give me anything similar to these artists.

        They are very different genres. But most likely Daft Punk have danceable music that can be traced back to Chicago house. After disco people stared incorporating synth /electro sound into dance music into the 80s. Chicago house DJ Paul Johnson is the first name mentioned in the Daft Punk song “Teachers”. During the 90’s French house became very big. Searching 90’s or 2000’s French house will get groups close to Daft Punk.

        Yeah looks like it’s only a north American tour. That’s a shame. Most people aren’t willing to go to the US right now, including me.

        And that’s even an understatement. Moon Safari is in the Mount Rushmore of the genre.

    My friends who enjoy Daft Punk all love RAM and I, like you, really didn’t dig it. There’s a good song or two but the rest really don’t jive with me.

    Roosevelt and Parcels aren’t as electronic but have very similar sounds. Daft Punk actually helped produce a Parcels single.

    Chromeo is so fucking funky and danceable.

    Also just some random Future Funk suggestions…

    Macross 82-99, Saint Pepsi, Conscious Thoughts, AnTgry, Yung Bae, id chief, Castle Carousel, to a lesser extent Flamingosis…
