Who is the next Daft Punk (earlier stuff) to you?
-
Be aware of Die Antwoord controversies and them being horrible people.
Yeah, shame about that, I kinda liked their music.
-
I've gotten really into Lemaitre, they're a Norwegian electronic duo thas kind of in between Avicii and Daft Punk, as far as sound goes. To me at least, they're incredible. Their song Reflection came on my playlist one day and.... Man, you ever hear a song and just immediately know you're going to listen to it on repeat for the next week? Then I checked out more of their songs and immediately listened to those on repeat as well.
I never hear anyone talking about them though. It's crazy to me they're not more popular. Their music just seems to push a button in my brain.
Excellent suggestion, both for their quality and similarity to daft punk. You're right, I almost never hear people talk about them!

Not really the same but Chromeo.
Chromeo is so fucking funky and danceable.
Also just some random Future Funk suggestions...
Macross 82-99, Saint Pepsi, Conscious Thoughts, AnTgry, Yung Bae, id chief, Castle Carousel, to a lesser extent Flamingosis...
I will never not upvote some Chromeo.

Rumor is, any time two Frenchmen are in a room with a keyboard, there is a small chance that the next electronic duo will form from the interaction.
Until then, it's probably Justice and Ratatat. Check out Marc Rebillet, too. The rare "one-man electronic duo."
Oh man, Ratatat. My (now) wife put Ratatat on the mix CD she made for me after our first date 15 years ago.
-
Porter Robinson is probably worth a listen.
I haven't liked his latest album. His previous stuff is top notch tho.
-
They are also touring this year
I saw them last year and it was one of the best shows I've ever been too. The lighting they had was incredible

True, I don't listen to him for several days in a row like I do with Justice or Daft Punk. But I love him in bite-sized pieces, and tracks like Your New Morning Alarm make me smile every time.
I saw him at Bonnaroo a couple years ago and everyone in the crowd was having such a good time. At one point, he's running around on stage in his bathrobe (of course), and his robe got snagged on something. So he just took it off, and was running around in his underwear yelling, "SOMEONE GET ME A ROBE! SOMEONE GET ME A GOD DAMN ROBE!" Then he made a song out of it.
Then he made a song out of it.
Of course he freaking did, lmao -
Justice, no contest. Watch the full 'Iris - A space opera' live concert on YouTube and you'll understand why.

M-83
They're even French
M-83 is it for me. Totally fresh and great.

I love Daft Punk so much. I hate that I never got a chance to see them live. I have the album Alive 2007 on repeat right now. (I say earlier stuff in the title because I didn't care for the album Random Access Memories.)
Who else would you recommend I listen to? Especially if they're still producing music. I love their loopy, sampled sound. Any other bands do something similar? Identical isn't necessary, adjacent is fine.
Magic Sword isn’t exactly dance but they live theatrics and the music is bangin’.
-
Bingo, that's the one. I was lucky enough to see the band live twice in their home town Paris. Each time I left the venue speechless.
