“Daftendirekt” by Daft Punk

"Daftendirekt" is part of Homework, the debut album the French duo Daft Punk released through Virgin and Soma Quality Recordings on 20 January 1997, with the American release following that March. Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo wrote and produced it themselves, and like everything else on the record it was cut in a home studio, which is where the album got its name.

The pair had caught the majors' attention with a string of popular Soma singles and signed to Virgin in 1996. The plan was to keep putting the music out one single at a time, until they realized they were sitting on a whole album's worth. Homework went on to chart in 14 countries and turned the world's ear toward French house.
