Daftpunk made a significant contribution to the music scene because when they got famous in the 90s, their sound was unique and most people haven't heard it before in their lives. However, people were shocked when they announced their disbandment.
More recently, it was revealed that the two weren't on the same page anymore and it ultimately led to their split.
According to NME, the duo's collaborator Todd Edwards appeared on an episode of "Memory Tapes," a mini-documentary for the pair to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their final album ever, "Random Access Memories."
The first time Edwards worked with the pair was in 2001 for the song "Face to Face" where he was credited as a co-producer. He also contributed vocals.
It appears that the anonymous duo had creative differences towards the end of their careers as a duo.
"When they broke up, they were already going in different directions, musically," he said. (via NME)
Daft Punk Creative Differences Could Be the Reason For Disbandment?
Later in the interview, the musician revealed that member Guy-Manuel de Homem-Cristo was leaning into the hip-hop sound.
Which is completely different from the direction that Thomas Bangalter wanted to take as he was a director.
"It kind of felt like they weren't on the same page anymore, anyway, so I wasn't shocked," he added.

Edwards later mentioned in his interview that people should not mourn or be sad that Daft Punk is no longer around creating music, but instead, other people, especially musicians should make them as their inspiration.
"If anything it should inspire people to be more creative and take chances and stop doing the same thing and playing it safe all the time," he added.
Daft Punk Disbandment
According to ABC, Daft Punk was able to have a fruitful career which span over 28 years before the duo decided to part ways.
In an interview with the BBC, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Cristo said the musical project that they created for nearly three decades blurred the line between reality and fiction as their characters were presented as robots.
Thomas Bangalter later chimed in and opened up that although he loves technology, he became scared of the relationships between humans and machines.
"[Daft Punk] was an exploration, I would say, starting with the machines and going away from them," he further noted.
