Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter will release a new album, Mirage – Ballet For 16 Dancers, on June 5.
The project was created for Mirage, a touring ballet based in Geneva, Switzerland’s Grand Théâtre de Genève that was created by choreographer Damien Jalet and contemporary artist Kōhei Nawa. Bangalter’s soundtrack is a piece of experimental electronic music commissioned by the Ballet of the Grand Théâtre de Genève, with the first release from the project, “Mirage: part. II” set to come out across DSPs on Friday (April 24).
Mirage – Ballet For 16 Dancers comes after a relatively active period for Bangalter, who was one-half of retired French dance music legends Daft Punk. In 2024, he released the album Chiroptera Matiere Premiere, a soundtrack for a 2023 performance at the Paris Opera House. His 2023 orchestral album Mythologies soundtracked yet another ballet.
The album will come out the same week as a public art piece in Paris that Bangalter also collaborated on, releasing in the same week as a major public artwork bearing his touch is unveiled in Paris. Multi-disciplinary artist JR worked with Bangalter to create the sound for his forthcoming art installation: La Caverne du Pont Neuf. For three weeks, this project will turn Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, into a cavern. On view from June 6-28, the artwork pays homage to site-specific artists Christo and Jean Claude’s The Pont Neuf Wrapped, a major public art installation that celebrates its 40-year anniversary in 2026.
Closer to home in the DJ space, Bangalter played a rare public show in late February as part of a b2b with Fred again.., with this show functioning as the final performance of Fred’s USB002 tour. The performance followed an October 2025 b2b2b2b with Fred again.., Erol Alkan and Busy P at Paris’ Centre Pompidou, a show that was Bangalter’s first public performance in 16 years.
