Daft Punk, the renowned duo from Paris, announced their separation after a successful career that spanned 28 years.

The artists, responsible for bringing French house to the masses and for some of the biggest pop hits of recent decades, announced their farewell this Monday with an enigmatic video posted on their social networks.

Through a video entitled "Epilogue" -extracted from his film "Electroma" -, where Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter are seen with their usual helmets covering their faces, strolling through a landscape that looks Martian and then exploding to pieces, the group announces its end and then shows a kind of epitaph.

Consulted by the publication, the representative of the duo, Kathryn Frazier, confirmed the news to the site Pitchfork although he did not give reasons for the outcome of the project.

Trained in Paris in 1993 and hiding behind robotic characters since 1999, Daft Punk managed to build a success without giving interviews, discover their faces or follow the usual promotional lines imposed by the industry.

Hand in hand with "Homework" (1997), his strong debut, he excelled in the rich French house scene and with singles like “Da funk” and “Around the world” he made electronic music popular, a genre that was then niche.

In addition to his collaborations with stars like Pharrell Williams and The Weeknd, the duo performed the music for the film “Tron: the legacy" (2010) and in 2013 He launched “Random Access Memories”, his last plate so far.

En esa clave cinematográfica habrá que ver si Daft Punk cumple con el compromiso de hacer sonar el filme “Occhiali Neri”, new feature film by Italian director Dario Argento after "Dracula" (2012).
