Our season-long analysis of Daft Punk continues with their debut album Homework. First, we explore the history of house and techno from its roots in disco music and underground Chicago and Detroit clubs. We then trace how Daft Punk studied the early pioneers of these genres and applied those lessons to their debut, breaking down the samples and production of songs like "Revolution 909" and "High Fidelity."
