MORE DETAIL

Daft Punk: We Were the Robots is an immersive, beautifully produced tribute to the legendary electronic duo, crafted by the team behind Jockey Slut and Disco Pogo.

Opening with the duo’s first-ever interviews—conducted in 1994 and 1995 alongside their early cover story—this 240-page hardcover dives deep into Daft Punk’s rise.

It features rare handwritten notes, fax conversations, and candid insights capturing their formative years on Soma label, the breakthrough albums Homework and Discovery, and iconic moments like Coachella 2006 and the release of Random Access Memories.

The book is rich with rare photos, archival interviews, and new essays that explore their legacy—from the hidden world of Roule Records and their creative side projects to film collaborations like Electroma and Tron.

There's even a standout interview with their helmet designer, Tony Gardner, and a conversation with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, shining light on Daft Punk’s influence in electronic and club culture.

Lovingly compiled by early fans and music insiders, this edition feels like a backstage pass to Daft Punk's creative journey and mystique. It’s a labor of love, capturing their blend of mystery, artistry, and impact.

If you're into electronic music, design, or innovative art, We Were the Robots is a definitive, highly detailed chronicle of how Daft Punk changed the game—and continues to resonate long after their farewell.
