Daft Punk have produced music under the record labels for Soma, Virgin Records and more recently Walt Disney. Soma Quality Recordings (more commonly known as Soma Records) is a Scottish techno and house label co-founded in 1991 by the electronic music duo Slam. The label is known for releasing Daft Punk's first tracks from their 1997 album Homework.
Virgin Records is a British record label founded by English entrepreneur Richard Branson, Simon Draper, and Nik Powell in 1972. The company grew to be a worldwide music phenomenon, with platinum performers such as Roy Orbison, Devo, Genesis, Keith Richards, Janet Jackson, Culture Club, Simple Minds,Lenny Kravitz, The Smashing Pumpkins, Mike Oldfield, and more on their list of artists. It was later sold to Thorn EMI in 1992. Its American operations were merged with Capitol Records in 2007 to create the Capitol Music Group.
Walt Disney Records is the flagship record label of the Disney Music Group and is owned by the Walt Disney Company. Walt Disney Records was formed in 1956 as Disneyland Records. Before that time, Disney recordings were licensed out to a variety of other labels such as (RCA, Decca, Capitol, and ABC-Paramount Records). As you can see from the progression of the record labels Daft Punk have attempted to appeal to a more mainstream audience with a broader appeal. They have gained recognition through their work on the Tron soundtrack through signing with Disney Records. It is also important to note these labels when it comes to making the Digipak and knowing which logos to include in the packaging.
