Bangalter recently revealed in a BBC interview the real reason that the duo split up in 2021, stating: “Daft Punk was a project that blurred the line between reality and fiction with these robot characters, It was a very important point for me and Guy-Man[uel] to not spoil the narrative while it was happening.”
“Now the story has ended, it felt interesting to reveal part of the creative process that is very much human-based and not algorithmic of any sort."
Daft Punk's story has been traced in a new book by Disco Pogo. The magazine's predecessor Jockey Slut published Daft Punk’s first ever interview back in 1994, their first ever magazine cover and featured them on the line-ups of many of their Bugged Out nights over the years.
The 250 page hardback book, titled ‘Daft Punk – We Were The Robots’, covers the duo's earliest days right up to their unexpected split in February 2021. The book will ship in Spring and is available to order here.
