[Request] Bands Similar to Daft Punk

SpicyDuck · 4 Dec 2007 at 10:05

I'm trying to find some music that is in the same or a very similar league to Daft Punk.

Something with the hard beats and electronic sounds, but also with the distorted-electro-guitar sound that they very often use. Loving them at the moment. All very good.

Digitalism and Justice are probably the closest.

SpicyDuck · 4 Dec 2007 at 10:12

Already discovered Justice. They're electronic, but slightly different to Daft Punk - they don't seem to have the atmosphere or simplicity of Daft Punk - but they're good.

I'll check out Digitalism, thanks.

Air... slightly more chilled out though.

Vitalic are the same vein, if not a little harder at times. OK Cowboy is one of the albums of the decade in my eyes. Absolute classic.

Vitalic - La Rock

think so yea, well thats how he was saying it

he was playing all the stuff live on synths and laptops etc , damn good!!!

Daft Punk are quite unique and Justice are about as close as you will get. If you want to hear the real Daft Punk, look for the Coachella 2006 recording.

if there were any bands that were as similar to Daft Punk as you seem to be after, they'd probably be sued for plagiarism.

good point that !

how did we get so far into this thread without SMD

OP ... which daft punk stuff do you like ? the poppy stuff on discovery or the stuff from homework ? i could name a good few producers who made/make dritier stuff like on homework and human after all

SpicyDuck · 4 Dec 2007 at 20:16

Thanks guys. Gonna check all these out, great. I'm loving Vitalic; it's more 'serious' stuff, but it's great.

Andy, I actually prefer their more poppy stuff. The very simple bass lines and beats. Simple and nice for a change.

Paul -C- · 5 Dec 2007 at 01:11

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Kraftwerk yet...

"andy" · 5 Dec 2007 at 12:59

just thought this info may be useful in this thread but daft punk are the main feature on myspace music this week and have picked the artists and videos that they like
