Daft Punk are one of the 21st century's most iconic music groups. After Daft is not only the story of their rise and legacy, but also the story of house and techno culture that spans from Paris to the American Midwest.
When Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo hung up their gold and silver helmets on 22nd February 2021, they bowed out with one of the highest reputations of any act in music history. Emerging in 1993 and powering down 28 years later, After Daft is the story of how their robo-gloved Midas Touch transformed absolutely everything in the middle.

For nearly three decades, with over 20 million albums sold, some of the most indelible dance anthems ever minted to their name, and an instantly-recognisable aesthetic signature, Daft Punk sit firmly in the pantheon of untouchables. The story of Daft Punk is the story of the modern era. Now that Bangalter and Homem-Christo have called it quits, millions around the world are grappling with what it all meant. Shrouded in mystery, controversy and abundant joy, their legacy exists as a 21st century Rosetta Stone. After Daft will be the most thorough attempt yet to decode it.

Gabriel Szatan worked on BBC Radio 6 Music with Gilles Peterson until 2014 when he joined online music hub Boiler Room, gaining prominence within the wider music community by broadening their remit and placing a forthright emphasis on progressive values. He has worked as part of the editorial teams for Red Bull Music Academy (2018-2019) and Resident Advisor (2019-2020), as well as a freelance journalist. His bylines head appeared in The Guardian, Pitchfork, The Economist, DJ Mag, Dazed, Crack and The Face. In 2020 he was hired by TIDAL to run their Dance and Electronic genres.
