      @@Roasty420 It's still very possible to have a career in music but your name may not be as marquee as you're expecting it to be. You may still need a job on the side, in or out of music. But you can still have a nice following and earnings. Not all of us can have banker parents that fly us in and out of Nashville for vocal coaching and studio time in our teens, eh?
      As someone who has actually tried to get on Anjunabeats myself: keep making music because you like doing so, and keep at it because it will take years to get recognized. Don't shy away from those supporting you now just because you think a bigger, "better" crowd is on the horizon. Keep your eye on where you want to go but don't lose sight of the road right at your feet. And nobody expects to go viral so don't feel bad if you don't.

    Da Funk is definitely one of my all time favourite tracks (I remember the music video so well, that poor dog). The fact that it was what Daft Punk came out of the gates with is something else. The two of you are incredibly talented to do this. Not only the extreme dissecting of the tracks to uncover the elements and patterns but also the flawless playing of the musical elements! Hats off.

    great video, thank you very much! As someone who has been quite deep into the house and techno scene since the early 90s, I can only underline what an important album "Homework" was. Even though "Around the World" was a pretty mainstream track, the rest of the album is completely unknown to most people - the tracks on this record were simply too experimental and crazy. In the scene, however, "Homework" was a milestone, an earthquake, a comet impact! The tracks were incredibly clean and high-quality production for the time, they were creative, excellently composed and extremely danceable and catchy. One of the best and most important albums in the history of electronic music - and what's more, it's also the first album by the two of them. After that everything just sounded different - every producer of electronic music suddenly valued the quality of the production. Previously this was only optional, as long as it at least made a good bang. To this day, tracks like "Rock'n'Roll" are absolutely banger and timelessly beautiful. When DaftPunk went mainstream with their second album, they were actually dead to the "real" techno scene. No matter how elaborately "Discovery" was produced, real techoheads found this music too silly. But for “Homework,” DaftPunk will always be loved and deeply respected.

    Wearing my red pullover and commenting with an even heavier german accent than usual: wunderbar! Wirklich absolut großartig! Rundherum dermaßen gut gelungene Videos findet man im RUclips-Synthversium extrem selten.
