At precisely 2:22 p.m. PT, or 22:22 GMT, on February 22, 2022, Daft Punk returned momentarily to interrupt the Web, as per common, leaving music followers the world over collectively mystified by the pair’s sudden return. Much less shocking than anything is how the French visionaries instantly disappeared as soon as once more, again into radio-silent “retirement” after delivering a flurry of bulletins, capped by a one-time-only stream of their hallowed helmet-less 1997 efficiency at Los Angeles’ Mayan Theater by way of Twitch. For Daft Punk evangelists, cups runneth over with information of Homework‘s deluxe reissue, that includes a batch of beforehand buried remixes, and a flash again to one among dance music historical past’s most seminal moments, the writing appears to have been on the wall since final 12 months’s now evidently calculated breakup announcement. In quintessential Daft Punk trend, this was all set in movement a 12 months in the past, most of us simply couldn’t see it on the time.
The efficiency on the Mayan in 1997 got here earlier than Thomas Bangalter and Man-Manuel de Homem-Christo donned their famed helmets, on the finish of Daft Punk’s first tour, Daftendirektour. Now, 1 / 4 century later, in celebration of the group’s debut studio album, and the tour that spawned their first dwell album, Alive 1997, Homework‘s twenty fifth anniversary version will function 15 remixes, 9 of which have but to ever attain digital streaming platforms. Vinyls of each LPs will hit cabinets on April 15, with preorders now accessible on Daft Punk’s website.
Additionally of notice—the web site contains a new electronic mail seize, which in fact might be a regular advertising software. Although, for a gaggle supposedly disbanded, maybe coincidentally reissuing two of their most groundbreaking information as Coachella kicks off later this spring, one thing tells us this isn’t the final we’ve seen of dance music’s most esteemed duo. Keep tuned, and see Daft Punk’s efficiency on the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles under.
