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.
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.
I wish Air was coming to a city near me. Tragic.
According to Mr Collins they are coming in the air tonight!
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.
Moon Safari is a masterpiece.
And that’s even an understatement. Moon Safari is in the Mount Rushmore of the genre.
