Around this time, Daft Punk experimented with party drugs, briefly. “I did Ecstasy for one year, from early 1993 to early 1994,” says Bangalter. “The problem was that I was liking any music I’d hear, any crap – I had no critical judgment. The last time I did Ecstasy was the day Kurt Cobain died. We were at a party in Glasgow when I heard. Then we were going to an afterparty and I almost got hit by a truck.”
“That was the first night I tried Ecstasy,” de Homem-Christo, who tugged Bangalter out of harm’s way, says. “And also the last.”

De Homem-Christo’s parents ran an advertising agency together, and he hails from a clan of dubiously distinguished Pan-European extraction: His great-grandfather, Francisco Manuel Homem Cristo Filho, was a writer, described by present-day historians as “the first authentic and indisputable Portuguese fascist” and a personal friend of Benito Mussolini’s. “I know him only from photographs, of course,” de Homem-Christo says. In the Portuguese city of Aveiro there is an Homem Cristo street and an Homem Cristo school, both named after his ancestors.

“I met Guy-Man in eighth grade,” [Bangalter] says. “At the end of the year we took a class trip to Pompeii, and in the car ride we began making up songs. When we got back, we recorded them with a little Casio keyboard.”
“It was Italo disco by 12-year-olds,” de Homem-Christo says. I ask if the tapes still exist, but he shakes his head: “Just our first music video. My father still has it. It’s Thomas singing, and I’m laughing at him while I hold the camera.”

“When we were kids, Guy-Manuel and I went to see My Bloody Valentine there,” Bangalter says. “It was incredible. Guy-Manuel was bare-chested, with his long hair, pogo’ing!”
“Crazy pogo!” cries de Homem-Christo, smiling at the memory.
“I ran into a guy I knew a few days after, and he said, ‘Was that your girlfriend at that show, jumping with her shirt off?’ ” Bangalter continues. “I told him, ‘No, it was my friend Guy-Man!’ We would go to concerts and dance. We were in the pit for sure.”
