All remains quiet in the Daft Punk camp, except for a virtual reunion in Fortnite of course, but it seems that Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo could potentially be working on a new project.

Daft Punk called it quits back in 2021, but a fan appears to have spotted a hint that Guy-Man is making a solo album. Posting in the Daft Punk Subreddit, they’ve shared a radio interview clip from France Inter with Emmanuel de Buretel, a music executive. Though the conversation is in the French language, Guy-Man appears to be name dropped.

De Buretel is the founder of Because Music, but spent nearly two decades working at Virgin Records and EMI prior to the launch. In 1998, de Buretel was named head of Virgin Continental Europe, which broke a number of artists, namely Daft Punk.

The Redditor says that at the 26:35 time stamp in the interview, de Buretel says “Guy-Man fait son album”, roughly translating to “Guy-man is making his album” in English. Check out the clip below:

Meanwhile, Guy-Man’s Daft Punk Counterpart, Thomas Bangalter, recently made an appearance for a DJ set alongside Fred Again.. at a show in Paris. Bangalter’s last live appearance prior to this was at the 2017 Grammy Awards alongside Guy-Man, and the last evidence of him on the decks without his robotic headgear was way back in 2009. Interestingly, Bangalter’s set also doubled as a celebration of the 20th anniversary of Because Music.

In other recent Daft Punk news, fans also felt touched by their virtual revival within Fortnite, with some saying it gave them some closure on the split. The Daft Punk Experience, which landed on 27 September, was billed as a “first-of-its-kind” in-game event, offering players an immersive trip through a Daft Punk-inspired world.
