Electronic Music Innovations


Lets talk about one of the biggest DJ's/Producers in the Electronic music. This band composed by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter both together are Daft Punk. Daft Punk is still and will be the innovation of Electronic music. They made an evolution on what is called Electronic music and completely turn it into what now days is called Electronic music. What these guys were producing is and still will be what now days everyone calls Electronic. 

Lets talk about how they started, and it all began with "Da Funk" after this album since it was commercial it placed their picture on the streets and people were wondering about them. This album got the attention of the Record companies and got them a contract. Then in 1999 they released the album "Discovery" this album got many awards and a few songs made the top chart. How they were creating the sounds is how people got impressed and because how they sounded like is what made them who they are. 

How they sound, is what everyone likes and is how Electronic music revolutionized. I can call them the future Karftwerk cause they try to be like robots sometimes and the sounds that they get are a little bit compared. One of their innovations was how commercial they got with their songs so it made Electronic music go around the world. 

For me Daft Punk as an industry professional made me think how they got the sounds and how they sounded great and gave me more points of view to see and analyze the music. As a listener they made me get involved with the Electronic music more and it opened a new genre in my playlist.

  1. I have to agree with Jose on many points. Daft Punk was able to take purely electronic music and take it to the mainstream where electronic music just did not exist. I think that Daft Punk opened many peoples eyes around the world that had never heard electronic music. I do agree that some of their work was much like Kraftwerk and they could easily be compared as the future's kraftwerk.
