Daft Punk
Daft Punk was a French electronic music duo formed in Paris in 1993 by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. They achieved popularity in the late 1990s as part of the French house movement; they also had success in the years following, combining elements of house music with funk, techno, disco, rock and synthpop. They were one of the most influential acts in dance music history. Daft Punk wore ornate helmets and gloves to assume robot personas in most public appearances since 1999 and rarely granted interviews or appeared on television. The duo announced their breakup on 22 February 2021 via a video on their YouTube channel titled "Epilogue". (wp)
