KRAFTWERK INTRO This paper follows the impact and significance of electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk.

Daft Punk are an iconic staple of the house music movement in the late 1990s, who helped to bridge the genre across into the next millennium. The duo, consisting of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, had a humble beginning in Paris, France, during the early 1990 's. The pair first met at Lycée Carnot, a Parisian school, in 1987 and soon discovered that they had a mutual love for music. With shared musical interests that ranged from David Bowie to AC/DC, they became close friends and formed an indie-pop band along with classmate Laurent Brancowitz, called Darlin ' (named after a popular song by one of their inspirations, The Beach Boys). Darlin ' was a short-lived project that released a few lo-fi cover tracks to no critical acclaim other than a write up by U.K. Based magazine 'Melody Maker ' who referred to one of their releases as “Daft Punk”. As Bangalter later recalled: “The rock n’roll thing we did was pretty average, I think. It was so brief, maybe six months, four songs and two gigs and that was it.” In 1993, De Homem-Christo and Bangalter attended a rave at EuroDisney in Paris that changed their outlook on music and the direction in which they wanted to pursue their correlative passion. There they met Stuart McMillan, owner of Soma Quality Records, and member of Scottish Electronica duo 'Slam '. Darlin ' soon disbanded, with De Homem-Christo and Bangalter breaking off to form Daft Punk, and leaving Brancowitz, who would later
