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
I wish Air was coming to a city near me. Tragic.
Justice is up there for me. Haven’t disliked a single one of their albums yet.
They are also touring this year
I saw them last year and it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been too. The lighting they had was incredible
This is the answer I would choose too for something that sounds most like Daft Punk
Justice, no contest. Watch the full ‘Iris - A space opera’ live concert on YouTube and you’ll understand why.
Bingo, that’s the one. I was lucky enough to see the band live twice in their home town Paris. Each time I left the venue speechless. :)
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…
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…
I will never not upvote some Chromeo.
M-83
They’re even French
M-83 is it for me. Totally fresh and great.
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
Die Antwoord
Be aware of Die Antwoord controversies and them being horrible people.
Yeah, shame about that, I kinda liked their music.
I’ve gotten really into Lemaitre, they’re a Norwegian electronic duo thas kind of in between Avicii and Daft Punk, as far as sound goes. To me at least, they’re incredible. Their song Reflection came on my playlist one day and… Man, you ever hear a song and just immediately know you’re going to listen to it on repeat for the next week? Then I checked out more of their songs and immediately listened to those on repeat as well.
I never hear anyone talking about them though. It’s crazy to me they’re not more popular. Their music just seems to push a button in my brain.
Excellent suggestion, both for their quality and similarity to daft punk. You’re right, I almost never hear people talk about them!
Not sure I’d phrase it that way but you’d probably like:
Wax Tailor
Ratatat
Justice
Flying Lotus
Paza Rahm
Two Fingers
Claude VonStroke
Xploding PlastiX
Edit:
I’ll throw in Caravan Palace and Parov Stellar if you like electroswing
Man, I haven’t listened to Ratatat in yeaaars. Thanks for the memory!
So sad Ratatat is gone. Nothing since 2015. Just one more way the world went downhill since then.
I don’t know about the next Daft Punk, but i share your opinion of earlier vs later and have been digging Framewerk’s stuff lately. Give it a whirl: https://framewerk.bandcamp.com/album/the-anthemic-collection-limited-release
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)
Porter Robinson is probably worth a listen.
Alongside anamanaguchi
I haven’t liked his latest album. His previous stuff is top notch tho.
Roosevelt and Parcels aren’t as electronic but have very similar sounds. Daft Punk actually helped produce a Parcels single.
I recommend listening to Thomas Bangalter’s other projects.
I’m not sure if Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo had side projects too.
Track down Club Soda - it’s great.
