After years of silence, both halves of Daft Punk are finally making noise again.

Just weeks after Thomas Bangalter surprised fans with his first DJ set in 16 years alongside Fred again.. in Paris, reports have surfaced that Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo is working on his first solo album. French music executive Emmanuel de Buretel, founder of Because Music, revealed in a recent interview that “Guy-Man fait son album” — “Guy-Man is making his album.”

From Robots to Reinvention

When Daft Punk announced their official split in 2021, it closed one of the most influential chapters in electronic music history. Since then, Bangalter has re-emerged through art-driven solo projects like Mythologies and CHIROPTERA — and now, a long-awaited return to live DJing.

Meanwhile, Guy-Manuel has stayed largely off the radar. The recent comments from de Buretel mark the first credible sign that the quieter half of Daft Punk may finally be stepping into the spotlight. If true, this would be his first major solo release since the duo’s breakup.

What We Know (and What We Don’t)

• Confirmed source: The quote originates from de Buretel’s appearance on France Inter, reported by We Rave You on November 2, 2025.

• No official details: There’s still no word on collaborators, tracklist, or release timeline.

• Bangalter’s momentum: His recent Paris DJ set, captured at the Centre Pompidou, confirms that both members are creatively active again.

In short: both robots are moving, just not in sync this time.

Why This Matters

Guy-Manuel’s production style helped define Daft Punk’s signature French-touch sound — from the raw funk of Homework to the glossy euphoria of Discovery and the analog warmth of Random Access Memories. A solo record could finally show what his sound looks like when it stands completely on its own.

Will it be disco-driven and nostalgic, or something darker and more experimental? Either way, fans have waited over a decade to find out.

The Next Chapter

Between Thomas Bangalter’s surprise DJ comeback and Guy-Manuel’s rumored solo project, 2025 might finally be the year Daft Punk’s legacy continues moving forward.

One behind the decks. One in the studio.
Both back in motion — just not together… yet.

Teksupport celebrates its 10-year anniversary with a massive New Year’s Week series ft. Bonobo, Loco Dice b2b Seth Troxler, Âme, and more at Brooklyn Storehouse and 99 Scott.

Today, New York City’s leading underground event collective, Teksupport, announces the finale of its 10-year anniversary celebration with a four-show series during New Year’s week. Closing out a decade of groundbreaking events, Teksupport will wrap its “Teksupport X” programming across Brooklyn Storehouse and 99 Scott, featuring an all-star lineup of world-class house and techno artists that will bring the collective’s anniversary year to a powerful close.

The series begins with a New Year’s Day marathon at Brooklyn Storehouse on January 1 showcasing a forward-thinking lineup of back-to-back sets — including Afriqua b2b Mink, Aly Meza b2b The Fellas, Ben Sterling b2b Hot Since 82, Brunello b2b Rafael, Clüb de Combat b2b Salomé Le Chat, Loco Dice b2b Seth Troxler, and Riordan b2b Obskür.

The momentum carries into January 2 at Brooklyn Storehouse with top-tier billing featuring genre-bending icon Bonobo (DJ Set), Innervisions co-founder Âme (DJ Set) b2b Swiss maestro Jimi Jules, Life and Death founder DJ Tennis, live-electronic visionary Jan Blomqvist, and rising star LuSiD. Teksupport X will wrap at 99 Scott on January 2nd and 3rd, with an unmissable lineup of to be announced talent.

Fueled by forward-thinking taste, a deep passion for dance music, and a distinctly New York sense of hustle, Teksupport has been a driving force at the intersection of club culture, high fashion, and technology for the past decade.

Founded by Rob Toma, a born-and-raised New Yorker who began throwing parties as a teenager, Teksupport has continually redefined the city’s nightlife landscape—transforming abandoned factories, navy yards, subterranean ballrooms, passenger ships, and even Grand Central Station into transcendent event spaces.

Throughout its evolution, Teksupport has also served as a bridge between global and American dance culture, introducing landmark European institutions such as Ibiza’s CircoLoco and Germany’s Time Warp to U.S. audiences for the first time, and providing a platform for world-class DJs and immersive experiences previously found only overseas.
