Daft Punk Split At 28 Years After 28 years Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo have decided to split up as Daft Punk. The duo took to YouTube to visualise the split with a near eight minute video where they literally disintegrate Daft Punk. Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo formed Daft Punk in Paris in 1993. They released four studio albums ‘Homework’ (1997), ‘Discovery’ (2001), ‘Human After All’ (2005) and ‘Random Access Memories’ (2013), two live albums ‘Alive 1997’ (2001) and ‘Alive 2007’ (2007) and one soundtrack ‘Tron: Legacy’ (2010). In Australia their first Top 40 hit was ‘Da Funk’ (no 31, 1995). Next came ‘Around the World’ (no 11, 1997) Then ‘One More Time’ (no 10, 2000)
