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.

      I wouldn’t call pretty lights up and coming. He headlined a festival I went to fifteen years ago. But I’m going to check your other recommendations cause I haven’t heard like half of them. Thank you!

        Sorry - didn’t know they had to be up and coming. I wouldn’t call most of the artists on that list that, but definitely worth checking out.

    My friends who enjoy Daft Punk all love RAM and I, like you, really didn’t dig it. There’s a good song or two but the rest really don’t jive with me.

    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…

        Isn’t Saint Pepsi vaporwave? I remember Enjoy Yourself or whatever that song was called, with Mac Tonight as the music video.

        Also, nu-disco is also a thing. Not sure if disco funk is more disco or more funk, as I’m not very familiar with the intricasies of disco

        I was a fan of Funky Panda on YouTube a few years back (~2019), mostly for electro swing, but they also uploaded future funk and nu-disco. Not anymore, though. Funky Way FM as an online radio appears to have come back, though

        Edit: here be the Funky Way: https://funkyway.net/

        Edit 2: there’s also an album credited to Kyo-2, Macintosh Plus, Saint Pepsi and Saint Germain on Spotify and the first song is entitled “VAPORWAVE THEME SONG.” Not sure if it is legit, as I’m not familiar enough with vaporwave. I recognise two names, though

    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.

    Rumor is, any time two Frenchmen are in a room with a keyboard, there is a small chance that the next electronic duo will form from the interaction.

    Until then, it’s probably Justice and Ratatat. Check out Marc Rebillet, too. The rare “one-man electronic duo.”

      Marc Rebillet

      The legend. I mean he’s fun for a while but after that while you start to see patterns and it kind of got old for me.

        True, I don’t listen to him for several days in a row like I do with Justice or Daft Punk. But I love him in bite-sized pieces, and tracks like Your New Morning Alarm make me smile every time.

        I saw him at Bonnaroo a couple years ago and everyone in the crowd was having such a good time. At one point, he’s running around on stage in his bathrobe (of course), and his robe got snagged on something. So he just took it off, and was running around in his underwear yelling, “SOMEONE GET ME A ROBE! SOMEONE GET ME A GOD DAMN ROBE!” Then he made a song out of it.

    I recommend listening to Thomas Bangalter’s other projects.

    I’m not sure if Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo had side projects too.

    Roosevelt and Parcels aren’t as electronic but have very similar sounds. Daft Punk actually helped produce a Parcels single.
