Daft Punk Call Quits Music Chat

[Crabtree]

The legendary dance duo has called it quits 28 years after forming in Paris

Daft Punk, the Parisian duo responsible for some of the most popular dance and pop songs ever made, have split. They broke the news with an 8-minute video titled "Epilogue," excerpted from their 2006 film Electroma. Asked if Daft Punk were no more, their longtime publicist Kathryn Frazier confirmed the news but gave no reason for the breakup.

I saw them at Rockness in 2007. It was amazing but I didn't fully appreciate at the time what I was witnessing.

Discovery and Homework are excellent albums

Their influence and contribution to dance music cannot be overstated. One of the greatest dance duo's ever.

Discovery is one of my favourite albums of all time and captured the dance scene in the early 2000s perfectly.

Sad they are retiring but what a legacy they have left behind

I assumed they had been working on a new album for the past few years, obviously not.

"Homework" was a breath of fresh air. Always had clever uses of samples. I wasn't a fan of the later stuff, but fair play to them.

Homework will be 25 years old next year, landmark album.

 

[Son Of Jack]

Random Access Memories was one of my favourite albums of the 2010's. Shame they've split.

28 years is a pretty good run for a band. Perhaps after some time away, there will be the inevitable reunion tour or something, though. After all, The KLF finally came in from musical wilderness at the end of last year.
