I spent the last two years trying to blend in with others and their music. I remember back in high school, I was a lost person trying to see where my road was going to take me when graduation hit. If I can name one band who really defined my journey from childhood to adulthood, it would be Daft Punk. (But, you know, just in case, keep those records in a different crate lest they self-destruct too.) The memories remain. WeвЂ™ll never see them liveвЂ¦Д«ut itвЂ™s alright, gang.

Daft Punk is unquestionably part of the soundtrack to our childhood. I miss going to concerts I miss my sister, with whom I grew up. Driving nowhere, I would jam to Random Access Memories when it first came out. I recall scrolling by вЂњDigital LoveвЂќ on my first crushвЂ™s iPod, hoping one day I could mean that to her. I recall how creepy the вЂњAround the WorldвЂќ music video seemed to me as a child. On an individual level, so many memories flash before me. It is amazing to see how our community has come together to reflect on the RobotsвЂ™ legacy. It wasnвЂ™t a particularly bad day, but it immediately turned fairly blue. Hit me up in the DMs for more Daft fanboy shit. Random Access Memories is also one of the best albums ever made. I hold it up on its own as one of the best albums ever made.ДЄhh, I can literally go on forever! Uhhh, Discovery is my favorite album вЂњTouchвЂќ is my favorite track.

It glues all the different eras of Daft Punk together into a literally perfect blend. DonвЂ™t even get me started on Alive 2007, an album that even today still gives me goosebumps. I am still studying tracks from Homework and realising how simple yet addicting they are. You can be banginвЂ™, you can be fresh, you can be dirty, and you can be disco. It is probably one of my first real exposures to sampled music or, at least, music based around sample chops and electronic beats.Дaft PunkвЂ™s trick of making every album sound different and, yet, so very them has always blown me away. My 3 brothers and I became obsessed with the duo and, in 2005, we received the entire Daft Punk discography for Christmas. Through Kazaa and other peer-to-peer file-sharing sites, I was exposed to Daft PunkвЂ™s freshest sounds including вЂњOne More Time,вЂќ вЂњAround The World,вЂќ and вЂњHarder, Better, Faster, Stronger.вЂќ Having an older brother who was a lot more net-savvy than I was helped a lot on that front. WeвЂ™ve lived through a pandemic and insane political headlines but for some reason I did not expect to see this headline. I was always kind of holding out for 1 more albumвЂ¦ 1 more singleвЂ¦ 1 more live set. IвЂ™m sorry, man.вЂќ And while IвЂ™m not in some deep sorrow, I still took a minute to really take it in. IвЂ™ve been such a vocal fan for so long that, when they announced their break up, people acted like I lost a family member. Daft Punk are (and probably always will be) my favorite artists of all time. Join us as we share some parting thoughts on these two magnificent mechanical gods.ДЇirst things first. And with that being said, we at Utopia District -with the help of a few friends- wanted to give something back. And nowhere is that influence felt more than vaporwave, this wonderful corner of the musical world that likely wouldnвЂ™t exist at all were it not for these pioneers. One of the most important and influential musical acts of all time, the French duo comprising Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, and Thomas Bangalter changed music forever. This tandem of legendary producers hardly need an introduction. And just like that, after 28 years, Daft Punk was no more. Daft PunkвЂ™s publicist would subsequently confirm the split-up shortly after, though no reason was provided. On February 22nd, a video titled вЂњ EpilogueвЂќ was shared to Daft PunkвЂ™s Youtube channel, an 8-minute clip taken from their 2006 film, Electroma. Ruminating on the exceptionally talented and impactful duo.
