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.

You mean who is the next genre defining band combining modern electonica and classic Disco funk into bona-fide club bangers?

Dunno... lemme know when you figure it out tho

There's a whole genre of Future Funk out there.

Macross 82-99, Saint Pepsi, Conscious Thoughts, AnTgry, Yung Bae, id chief, Castle Carousel, to a lesser extent Flamingosis...

Isn't Saint Pepsi vaporwave? I remember Enjoy Yourself or whatever that song was called, with Mac Tonight as the music video.

Also, nu-disco is also a thing. Not sure if disco funk is more disco or more funk, as I'm not very familiar with the intricasies of disco

I was a fan of Funky Panda on YouTube a few years back (~2019), mostly for electro swing, but they also uploaded future funk and nu-disco. Not anymore, though. Funky Way FM as an online radio appears to have come back, though

Edit: here be the Funky Way: https://funkyway.net/

Edit 2: there's also an album credited to Kyo-2, Macintosh Plus, Saint Pepsi and Saint Germain on Spotify and the first song is entitled "VAPORWAVE THEME SONG." Not sure if it is legit, as I'm not familiar enough with vaporwave. I recognise two names, though

Well Future Funk was sort of a “fork” from Vaporwave from what I remember. Very DIY attitude based and similar visual aesthetic but it’s more about sampling Boogie music and then compressing the hell out of the kick - to where it’s really more in the vein of Filter/French House - but usually a bit more lofi production wise.
