Well, I guess we still have M83 and Carpenter Brut to supply French synth awesomeness, but I'll really miss Daft Punk.

    Ooh. Thanks for this! RAM is my favourite, and this really appeals to me. May I recommend back; Betamaxx has a wonderful 80s nostalgic sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB5mRTkJmFA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB5mRTkJmFA

    This live set is just a delight all the way through: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikRvoa9p-SQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikRvoa9p-SQ I'm envious of both his gear and the talent to use it so well.

  Is Air still around? Still probably have my copy of Moon Safari somewhere.
  • miralize 6y ago
    Nothing released for a while. Nicolas Godin is releasing some solo stuff
  • pram 6y ago
    Random Access Memories sounds more like Air than Daft Punk imo. People should definitely give their discography a listen if you liked that sound.
• francis_t_catte 6y ago
  if you like Carpenter Brut, I recommend Perturbator, especially the album The Uncanny Valley.
  • sverona 6y ago
    New Model is severely underrated. His best, in my opinion.

  Justice
• Dirlewanger 6y ago
  Justice were seen as the heirs to follow in Daft Punk's footsteps after their debut. They kinda lost it after that though, IMO.
  • lelandbatey 6y ago
    I strongly suspect that they just chose a different creative direction, somewhat more ballad-y. But their latest live-esq album "Woman Worldwide" (styled "WWW") from 2018 shows that they still can make incredible dance/disco electronic music of the same caliber and energy as 2007's 'Cross', but they chose to pursue gentler sounds in their studio albums. It makes me suspect that their live shows are much more true to their 2007 energy than their studio albums might lead you to believe.

      I went to a festival in recent years with Justice closing saturday night and can absolutely attest to this.
  • joachim4 6y ago
    Justice live is a blast, they album really lives with their lighting and the way they are mixing.

  And N'to, Worakls, Danger, Justice, French79, Kavinsky, Jean-Michel Jarre, Air, Birdy Nam Nam, Gesaffelstein, Perturbator, SebastiAn, ... French electro is doing well.
  • avesi 6y ago
    A lot of the Ed Banger crew don't appear to be releasing music anymore as far as I'm aware.
    • nolok 6y ago
      Not quite sure why you answer that to my message since the only Ed Banger in my list are Justice (last release in 2019) and sebastiAn (2019 too). The others I listed aren't part of that group.
      • avesi 6y ago
        Not quite sure why you couldn't have just said, great news, Justice and SebastiAn have recent releases. I'm obviously a little behind :)
  • meesterdude 6y ago
    wow great collection of names to checkout!
• alex_duf 6y ago
  Add Etienne de Crecy, Phoenix, Cassius (though Zdar died not long ago), Justice, Mr oiso and Sebastian to that list
