Video footage has leak proving that Daft Punk, the robots we know and love, were actually human at one point back in the mid 90s. The said 30 min video features Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (in the dark) rocking 303s, 202s, 909s, and some samplers and an oberheim DMX at an underground rave in, out of all places, middle of nowhere Wisconsin back in 1996.

And if you forgot how ridiculously awesome they look now as robots, check this Amazing Japanese Video Interview of Daft Punk having a serious conversation in their robot forms.

Some of the hilarious things Daft Punk do as Robots in Tokyo:

Daft Punk entering the interview after using the Men’s Room
Daft Punk posing with Japanese Tourist
Daft Punk dancing on the Subway
Daft Punk slapping high fives in the studio
Daft Punk doing Tai Chi
Daft Punk explaining in a french accent why they turned into robots with the phrase, “What happen was like, uh, we had a little accident with the machines in the night of September ‘99. So we had, uh, to do some reconstruction with the doctor and that’s why we are looking like robots today.”

If you want to party like robots, the Daft Punk affiliated Ed Banger Records is throwing a party with Vice next week featuring a live performance by Uffie and DJ sets by Sebastian and Feadz.
