EDM, and DP in particular focus almost entirely on sound design techniques, rhythm, tonal qualities and timbre, mostly with minimal use of chord progression. "One more time" is a bit tongue and cheek on pop music and electronica.
Good example of the tonal and rhythmic focus in DP production style, "Rollin' & Scratching" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbb8kZw-xRg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbb8kZw-xRg
There's certainly context for Daft Punk if you want to dive into their brains (record collectors, hip hop, electro, disco, funk, (French)-house, Detroit techno, German psychedelic 'Krautrock'), and much like the bulk of architects and musicians prior and since, DP's production style was/is largely the product of tools and techniques available to them.

- crdb 11y agoAwesome. At which point did these techniques crossover from Stockhausen etc., or did they independently appear on the "pop" music circuit?
- nosuchthing 11y agoGerman 'krautrock' seems to derive a sense of classical influence in that they were able to blend a wide range of subtle and harsh noises (fuzz guitars, experimental tape recordings) and still create long form compositions with a sense of progression and movements. Electronica and tonal focused dance music are more closely related to Indonesian Gamelan music than Western classical. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamelan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamelan
