Just as Berlin had a special bond with Detroit techno, Paris and Daft Punk developed a unique relationship with Chicago, applying chic filters, rock distortion and high-gloss mastering to the city's unctuously loopy disco house, squealing acid and raw stripped-back jack trax.
"Teachers," track nine on their 1997 debut Homework, is a spoken incantation of influences that name-checks Midwest greats like Paul Johnson, DJ Sneak, DJ Rush, Romanthony and DJ Deeon – Black and brown artists who didn't have Daft Punk-sized budgets, DJs that may have gotten their flowers in the underground, but are definitely at risk of being forgotten in successive waves of digitalism and cultural Coachella-fication. But when I think of Daft Punk I always think of Chicago house in the '90s, the pair's adulation of which was no secret. It's easy to equate Daft Punk with disco loops – like all good crate-diggers, as they aged they leaned heavily into exploring the lineage of where their samples had come from. NPR Music asked a few experts to consider what the two did for them personally, and what that might mean for the history books. Over the next 10 years – most notably with Discovery in 2001, a legacy-cementing tour in 2007 and the mystique-enhancing break they left in-between (not to mention all that came after) – Bangalter and Homem-Christo became the steel-and-silicon giants they'd wished themselves into being, while unwittingly setting the stage for a different type of machine altogether.ĭaft Punk's music is and always will be formidable, but the roots and future of its legacy aren't yet crystal clear. The pair, born Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, began making music in the early '90s, raving through that effervescent decade and leaving it, with the release of Homework in 1997, in a blissed-neon glow. ET to hear Rolling Stone Music Now broadcast on SiriusXM’s Volume, channel 106.On Monday, the ur-French-dance-music duo Daft Punk announced – via the slick and typically cryptic video above, featuring a dramatic self-destruct sequence – that it was hanging up the helmets and leather jackets for good.

In the latest episode of Rolling Stone Music Now, we dig into the full story of Daft Punk, with Jonah Weiner, who wrote our definitive 2013 cover story on the duo, joining host Brian Hiatt for the discussion, sharing his rare experience of meeting the men under the masks. They only made four studio albums (plus the Tron: Legacy soundtrack and music for several tracks on Kanye West’s Yeezus, among other projects), but the duo still stands as one of the most influential acts of the 21st century.
Besides a couple tracks with the Weeknd, robot-helmeted French dance legends Daft Punk hadn’t done much since 2013, which made it all the more puzzling that they chose to make a splashy video announcement of their break-up last week (which sent streams of their music soaring up by 500 percent).
