Before the meteoric rise of acts like Daft Punk in the early 90s, French popular music had remained, by and large, within the borders of France. That changed irrevocably with the French Touch movement, which saw a reinvention of sorts occur when a community of artists wed house beats and vibrant disco loops together and achieved an international resonance. A quarter of a century later, Daft Punk et al are still revered worldwide.
