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.

    Flying Lotus

    Paza Rahm

    Two Fingers

    Claude VonStroke

    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

      There’s a whole genre of Future Funk out there.

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

        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.

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

        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.

    Not really the same but Chromeo.

    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…

    Rumor is, any time two Frenchmen are in a room with a keyboard, there is a small chance that the next electronic duo will form from the interaction.

    Until then, it’s probably Justice and Ratatat. Check out Marc Rebillet, too. The rare “one-man electronic duo.”

      The legend. I mean he’s fun for a while but after that while you start to see patterns and it kind of got old for me.

        True, I don’t listen to him for several days in a row like I do with Justice or Daft Punk. But I love him in bite-sized pieces, and tracks like Your New Morning Alarm make me smile every time.

        I saw him at Bonnaroo a couple years ago and everyone in the crowd was having such a good time. At one point, he’s running around on stage in his bathrobe (of course), and his robe got snagged on something. So he just took it off, and was running around in his underwear yelling, “SOMEONE GET ME A ROBE! SOMEONE GET ME A GOD DAMN ROBE!” Then he made a song out of it.

    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.

    Pretty Lights

    Flying Lotus

    Parov Stelar

    St Germain

    Wax Tailor

    Portishead

    All of the Mushroom Jazz series by Mark Farina (he didn’t create the tracks but will give you lots of artists to segue to)

      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.

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

    I don’t believe there is a “next daft punk” as of yet but I would consider the following artists relatively daft punk adjacent. Certainly worth checking out.

    Flume

    What So Not

    Gesaffelstein

    RL Grime

    Rustie

    Jungle

    Chet Faker
