Daft Punk

Is that necessary to introduce them ? Daft Punk are one of the most famous French artists nowadays (though a lot of people might not know that they’re French). The duo was formed in the 90’s in Paris. They’re one of the main representatives of “french touch” in electronic music. And even though they’ve been making hits since the 90’s, the young generation mostly knows them for their last album Random Access Memories (2013), with the iconic “Get Lucky”. Their fame and nearly mythical status is also reinforced by their robot costumes and their (very) rare live apparitions.

I’m gonna put way too many songs (because they made many great ones) but since they’re in English it doesn’t matter, I don’t have to translate it ! And you should really listen to their last album in its entierety, there’s not a bad song in it in my opinion.
