Weaver’s taking us back to France this week, as he gives us the lowdown on 90s house music and we give Daft Punk a good analysis.

It’s difficult to imagine a time when Daft Punk were not one of the biggest electronic artists in the world. Everyone’s heard them. In fact, there’s a pretty high chance that you’ve heard “Around the World”, which was taken from this very album!

The story goes that Daft Punk only wanted to put out singles, but after writing a lot they decided they had enough tunes for a full length, and some 4 years after they arrived in the French house music scene, they released Homework. All of the singles they’d released up to this point are included, and the rest is history.

We go on a journey of their discography and Dave tells us about house music too. A good listen, if we do say so ourselves.

Is Homework Daft Punk’s unsung classic? You decide.
