Bangalter also teamed up with DJ Falcon to create Together, who subsequently released the club smash So Much Love To Give. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo operates his own music label, Crydamoure. Trombonist and band leader Tommy Dorsey should not be confused with pianist and jazz and gospel composer Thomas A. In 2002 he produced the motion picture soundtrack for Gaspar Noé's Irréversible. Tommy Dorsey died suddenly at his home in Greenwich, Connecticut and was interred in Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, New York. With Music Sounds Better With You, Thomas Bangalter had a major club hit in 1998, released under the name Stardust on his own Roulé-label. Dorsey said his trombone style was heavily influenced by that of Jack Teagarden.

The album Discovery subsequentally became the soundtrack to the anime film Interstella 5555, which they co-produced with Leiji Matsumoto. Pan American World Airways's president Juan Trippe was a member of his band in 1940. The music videos for their singles from Homework featured memorable characters and were directed by cult video producers, including Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry. Sinatra achieved his first great success as a vocalist in the Dorsey band and claimed he learned breath control from watching Dorsey play trombone. The duo "became" robots for all of their publicity shots and interviews. The band featured trumpeters Bunny Berigan and Charlie Shavers, arranger Sy Oliver, and singers Jo Stafford and Frank Sinatra. Daft Punk are notable for their use of visuals in music. Tommy Dorsey formed his own band, which was very successful.

Much of Daft Punk's newer fan base knows them mainly from Discovery. The brothers also appeared as session musicians on many jazz recordings. Some have interpreted the title "Discovery" as meaning "very Disco", as much of the album hearkens to the disco era; "Homework" can also be a reference to the respective album's focus, house music (Home ≈ House). With brother Jimmy, he led the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra until they split up in 1935. Nevertheless, it sold very well, and the single "One More Time" was a major club hit. He worked with many bands in the New York City area starting in the 1920s, including the bands of Rudy Vallee, Vincent Lopez, and Paul Whiteman. 2001's Discovery, with its more commercial, synth-pop-oriented style, disappointed some fans of Homework. Thomas Dorsey was born in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania and is the younger brother of Jimmy Dorsey.

In addition to "Da Funk", "Around the World" was the most successful single from Homework. Tommy Dorsey (November 19, 1905 - November 26, 1956) was a jazz trombonist in the Big Band era. The album Homework (Virgin, 1996) was regarded as an innovative synthesis of techno, house, acid house and electro, and widely acknowledged as one of the most influential dance music albums of the nineties. Daft Punk's debut single The New Wave (Soma, 1993) was followed by their first commercially successful single "Da Funk" (1995). Its name was inspired by a review in the British music magazine Melody Maker, which described their first collaboration, a Beach Boys inspired guitar group named Darling that recorded on Stereolab's Duophonic imprint in 1992, as "a bunch of daft punk".
