Anonymous electronic duo Daft Punk announced that after 27 years of vibrant, groovy tracks they will be parting ways. Although this news is heartbreaking Daft Punk gave us countless hits that will continue to be blasted at full volume. Here are ten Daft Punk songs we view as essential.
Epilogue – The epic goodbye from Daft Punk is subtle and moving. The video is a tribute to a duo that’s legacy will live on forever.
Phoenix -“Phoenix” is a fiery house track with stabbing synths and a groovy drum loop that is sure to have your hips moving.
Aerodynamic – The funky synths and warping electronic sounds that make up “Aerodynamic” make it an easy pick for this mix.
Nightvision – “Nightvision” is a subtle pad based song that is both soothing and pulsating with emotion.
Motherboard – A swirly, vibrant track, “Motherboard” sounds like the soundtrack to a science fiction film.
Revolution 909 – “Revolution 909” is a thumping, bouncing tune that fits right into the more house influenced side of Daft Punk’s expansive discography.
I was super young when this song came out, sad, and going through it. I had a good friend who was into Daft Punk and this was the song he put me onto. I was instantly sold on Daft Punk.
Da Funk – Despite being a little bit more intense than your average Daft Punk track but “Da Funk” still contains the Daft Punk secret sauce.
It’s not the most popular song off the album but I really find comfort and calmness in this song. This released at the end of my junior year of high school and it was just a great song to slap in the car on the way to prom.
