Daft Punk’s split last year shook the nation. What will we do without our favourite masked DJs? Sorry, Marshmello!
February 22nd, not only marks the anniversary of their tragic breakup, but it’s also the 25th anniversary of their debut album Homework. Released in 1995, before the French duo, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter were the iconic robots we know today.
They became masked robots on 9/9/99, for their album Discovery. Today, the anniversary of Homework and the duo’s split is 2/22/22.
To celebrate this numerically satisfying day, Daft Punk will be releasing a new 25th-anniversary box set of Homework, and streaming their 1997 performance from their first tour, set in the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles.
The box-set is available online, which includes 15 remixes of songs off the original Homework album. 9 of which have until now, never been available on streaming platforms.
