Biography of Daft Punk
In similar company with new-school French progressive dance artists such as Motorbass, Air, Cassius and Dimitri from Paris, Parisian duo Daft Punk have quickly risen to acclaim by adapting a love for first-wave acid house and techno to their younger roots in pop, indie rock, and hip-hop. The combined talents of DJs Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, the pair's first projects together included Darling, a voiceless indie cover band; their current recording name derives from a review in U.K. music weekly Melody Maker of a compilation tape Darling were featured on, released by krautrock revivalists Stereolab (their lo-fi DIY cover of a Beach Boys song was derided as 'daft punk'). Subsequently ditching the almost inevitable creative cul-de-sac of rock for the more appealing rush of the dancefloor, the pair released their debut single, 'The New Wave,' in 1993 on the celebrated Soma label. Instantly hailed by the dance music press as the work of a new breed of house innovators, the single was followed by 'Da Funk,' the band's first true hit (the record has sold 30,000 copies worldwide and seen thorough rinsings by everyone from Kris Needs to the Chemical Brothers). Although the group had only released a trio of singles ('The New Wave' and 'Da Funk,' as well as the 1996 limited pressing of 'Musique'), in early 1996 Daft Punk were the subject of a minor bidding war. The group eventually signed with Virgin, with their first long-player, Homework, appearing early the following year (a brief preview of the album, 'Musique,' was also featured on the Virgin compilation Wipeout 2097 next to tracks from Photek, Future Sound of London, the Chemical Brothers, and Source Direct). As with the earlier singles, the group's sound is a brazen, dancefloor-oriented blend of progressive house, funk, electro, and techno, with sprinklings of hip-hop-styled breakbeats and excessive, crowd-firing samples, similar to other anthemic dance-fusion acts such as the Chemical Brothers and Monkey Mafia. In addition to his role in Daft Punk, Thomas Bangalter operates the Roule label and has recorded under his own name (the underground smash 'Trax on Da Rocks') as well as Stardust (the huge club/commercial hit 'Music Sounds Better with You'). After four long years of anxiously awaiting a follow-up to their brilliant debut, Daft Punk finally issued Discovery in March 2001.

Comment: This is quite a mix, anyone expecting another version of Alive '97 need not apply,
This is just the two lads on the decks spinning what ever thay want, throwing in a few of their own classics form 'homework', but still, its a real crowd pleaser, I would have liked to of been at this gig, pity the sound quality isnt that great, but, its still enjoyable, a must for daft punk fans, hear them in the raw form before they went off the rails with 'discovery'

Comment: Daft Punk as we know them best, which is, of course when they first started. The mix took me by suprise as they have added some different tracks in this one. I must admit i am really enjoying the mix and it is one for the collection. This is typical Daft Punk style here, check it out.

Comment: Okay, I realize this is a rather old mix. It shows in the audio quality. The depths and the heights are scratchy, and particularly in the first quarter, there are glitches-a-plenty. As to the tunes, some of them are good. But overall I found the mixing to be not so pretty either, expected a lot more from Daft Punk (and they can deliver, as the more up to date mixes show).

Comment: Ahhhhhhh...back when The Arches was a good club! This a stomping set that encapsulates all that was once good about Daft Punk.
Despite the fairly poor audio quality, you'll be dancing in your bedroom to this eclectic mix.
