They had no trouble finding one at the time as they chose Pedro Winter, who regularly promoted them and other artists at his Hype night clubs. After the success of "Da Funk", Daft Punk looked to find a manager. It became their first commercially successful single the same year.
The single also contained the final mix of "The New Wave" called " Alive".ĭaft Punk returned to the studio in May 1995 to record " Da Funk". The demo tape given to Macmillan at the rave formed the basis for Daft Punk's debut single, " The New Wave", a limited release in 1994. In 1993 Daft Punk attended a rave at EuroDisney, where they met Stuart Macmillan of Slam, co-founder of the label Soma Quality Recordings. Bangalter and de Homem-Christo formed Daft Punk and experimented with drum machines and synthesizers. As the latter stated, "We struggled so long to find Darlin', and this happened so quickly." Darlin' soon disbanded, leaving Brancowitz to pursue other efforts with Phoenix. It was so brief, maybe six months, four songs and two gigs and that was it." A negative review in Melody Maker subsequently dubbed the music "a bunch of daft punk." Instead of dismissing the review, Bangalter and de Homem-Christo found it to be amusing. Bangalter felt that "The rock n' roll thing we did was pretty average, I think. Stereolab released both tracks on a multi-artist Duophonic Records EP and invited the band to open for stage shows in the United Kingdom.

Bangalter and de Homem-Christo played bass and guitar, respectively, while Brancowitz performed on drums. This eventually led to the formation of the guitar-based group Darlin' with Laurent Brancowitz in 1992. The two became good friends and later recorded demo tracks with others from the school. Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo met in 1987 on the grounds of the Lycée Carnot, a secondary school in Paris.
