Bangalter met Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo while attending school in 1987.^[1] It was there that they discovered their mutual fascination of films and music of the 1960s and 70s, "very basic cult teenager things, from Easy Rider to the Velvet Underground."^[6] They and Laurent Brancowitz eventually joined to form an indie rock trio called Darlin', in which Bangalter performed bass guitar. Bangalter felt that "It was still maybe more a teenage thing at that time. It's like, you know, everybody wants to be in a band."^[6] A negative review referred to the act as "a bunch of daft punk", which inspired Bangalter and de Homem-Christo's new name.^[7] Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (born February 8, 1974) is a founding member of the French house music duo Daft Punk, along with Thomas Bangalter. ...

Shortly before reaching the age of 18, Daft Punk grew interested in electronic music, which led Brancowitz to leave the group in pursuit of efforts with fellow Parisian band Phoenix.^[6][7] In 1993 Bangalter presented a demo of Daft Punk material to Stuart Macmillan of Slam that led to their first single "The New Wave". Daniel Vangarde provided valuable advice for the duo. "He helped us by presenting to us what the situation was with the record industry and how it worked. Knowing that, we made certain choices in order to achieve what we wanted."^[8] Daft Punk is the collective name of Paris house musicians Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (born February 8, 1974)[1] and Thomas Bangalter (born January 3, 1975). ...

Vangarde was thanked for his efforts in the liner notes of Homework. The title of the album is partially attributed to the fact that Homework was recorded in Bangalter's bedroom. As he remarked, "I had to move the bed into another room to make space for the gear."^[5] In the years following the 1997 release, Bangalter focused on his own record label, Roulé. The label released singles by Romanthony, Roy Davis Jr., and Bangalter's own solo material, among others. Bangalter collaborated with Alan Braxe and Benjamin Diamond and in 1998 released the club hit "Music Sounds Better With You". Just as for Homework, the single was recorded in Bangalter's home studio.^[9][5] At around the same time of "Music Sounds Better with You", he co-produced Bob Sinclar's second single titled "Gym Tonic." The song used samples from a Jane Fonda workout tape. Jane Fonda later refused permission for clearance of the sample and a new mix of the song with a different female vocal had to be released.^[10] Singles from Homework Homework is the debut album of French electronic music duo Daft Punk, first released on January 20, 1997. ...
