13424791, Daft Punk broke up :(

I hope it's a stunt but not looking like it

13424801, That oddly makes a lot of sense.

the world they started in has changed.

barely any of their contemporaries are making tracks.

To go from French Filter House to making a pop song with the disco god, Nile Rogers...it's a nice way to bookend a run.


The dudes also had a phenomenal run of side projects

Stardust, Together, etc


damn, these guys have two kids each and they still do everything.
13424803, Really hope it means they'll both work with other artists more.

Their stuff with The Weeknd is like the only shit I can listen to by The Weeknd.
13424811, going on nothing but feelings here, I don't they are "done"

i think maybe daft punk as a concept is done but I can see them continuing the production work

future cut did a similar thing - after 15 years of DnB, they went into making pop music, then after making a lot of hits and money they came back to DnB.
13424804, Was Stardust anything more than the single?

Asking because like most humans I love that song and wished we could’ve heard more of that.
13424810, mmmmnope. crazy right?

three people, one track and it is DEEPLY loved and remembered by all.

13424870, meanwhile Justice never leaves their bag

and i love them both for their own approaches
13424853, A group like this announcing they are breaking up is strange right?
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Mon Feb-22-21 03:49 PM
Like why announce anything as opposed to just stop making music together and going about their business?

Makes me think either bad blood between them or its a trick!

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at
13424903, I think there's more conflict implied when groups ghost their fans
Posted by Cocobrotha2, Tue Feb-23-21 09:46 AM
I think when you're not sure whether a group is still together, it's usually because there's one member who's ready to move on and do other things but doesn't want to be the one that officially killed it. It may not be bad blood but you can kinda sense the disagreement.

This sounds like they're on the same page.

"I'm good... you good?"
"I'm good"
"Aight, let's announce it"

13424919, also stops the request for work and being bothered

I know for a fact Disney has been breathing down their necks for projects. This kills all those calls
13425448, I'm not a fan of house and techno but they did it well

13425467, For A Duo Who Prides Themselves On Anonymity...
Posted by Dj Joey Joe, Sun Feb-28-21 07:22 PM
...it's kind of laughable that they just announce to the world that they are breaking up, especially when these two kats have been making music together and separately under their own names and various aliases, it's not like most of the EDM community really takes this info seriously.

I'm surprised they have been doing it for this long, most edm groups and duos don't stay as a group long, cause usually their sound grow apart from one another over time; like a few said in here, I think it's a publicity stunt, they will announce a reunion within a year or two.
