Magic Sword isn’t exactly dance but they live theatrics and the music is bangin’.

Nightcall by kavinsky isn’t exactly what OP is looking for imo but absolutely worth a listen anyway
This.
The whole edbanger crew is worth a look
Mine was in the mid2000s. “Danger” released “11h30” which is an absolute banger that, at the time, nothing came close to sounding like it. Would recommend!
That's an amazing track.
100% go see Air on tour right now. The Moon Safari tour might be the closest thing to peak Daft Punk shows but obviously the chill side of it. Incredible vibes at these shows with amazing stage production.
Les Digitales Rhymes - Röyksopp is still active - Mirwais Ahmadzaï production - Basement Jaxx - The Avalanches (crazy amount of samples) - Danger - Red snapper (jazzy) - Dead mau5 ( not for me but the certainly took some the daft punk blueprint)
Of course Justice, Underworld, DJ Shadow, Fatboy slim, chemical brothers, Orbital, LCD Soundsystem
Moon Safari is a masterpiece.
And that’s even an understatement. Moon Safari is in the Mount Rushmore of the genre.
I wish Air was coming to a city near me. Tragic.
Yeah looks like it's only a north American tour. That's a shame. Most people aren't willing to go to the US right now, including me.
According to Mr Collins they are coming in the air tonight!

Justice is up there for me. Haven't disliked a single one of their albums yet.
This is the answer I would choose too for something that sounds most like Daft Punk
Justice, no contest. Watch the full 'Iris - A space opera' live concert on YouTube and you'll understand why.
Bingo, that's the one. I was lucky enough to see the band live twice in their home town Paris. Each time I left the venue speechless. :)
You mean who is the next genre defining band combining modern electonica and classic Disco funk into bona-fide club bangers?
Dunno... lemme know when you figure it out tho
There's a whole genre of Future Funk out there.
Macross 82-99, Saint Pepsi, Conscious Thoughts, AnTgry, Yung Bae, id chief, Castle Carousel, to a lesser extent Flamingosis...
Isn't Saint Pepsi vaporwave? I remember Enjoy Yourself or whatever that song was called, with Mac Tonight as the music video.
Also, nu-disco is also a thing. Not sure if disco funk is more disco or more funk, as I'm not very familiar with the intricasies of disco
I was a fan of Funky Panda on YouTube a few years back (~2019), mostly for electro swing, but they also uploaded future funk and nu-disco. Not anymore, though. Funky Way FM as an online radio appears to have come back, though
Edit: here be the Funky Way: https://funkyway.net/
Edit 2: there's also an album credited to Kyo-2, Macintosh Plus, Saint Pepsi and Saint Germain on Spotify and the first song is entitled "VAPORWAVE THEME SONG." Not sure if it is legit, as I'm not familiar enough with vaporwave. I recognise two names, though
Well Future Funk was sort of a “fork” from Vaporwave from what I remember. Very DIY attitude based and similar visual aesthetic but it’s more about sampling Boogie music and then compressing the hell out of the kick - to where it’s really more in the vein of Filter/French House - but usually a bit more lofi production wise.
Rumor is, any time two Frenchmen are in a room with a keyboard, there is a small chance that the next electronic duo will form from the interaction.
Until then, it's probably Justice and Ratatat. Check out Marc Rebillet, too. The rare "one-man electronic duo."
Marc Rebillet
The legend. I mean he's fun for a while but after that while you start to see patterns and it kind of got old for me.
True, I don't listen to him for several days in a row like I do with Justice or Daft Punk. But I love him in bite-sized pieces, and tracks like Your New Morning Alarm make me smile every time.
I saw him at Bonnaroo a couple years ago and everyone in the crowd was having such a good time. At one point, he's running around on stage in his bathrobe (of course), and his robe got snagged on something. So he just took it off, and was running around in his underwear yelling, "SOMEONE GET ME A ROBE! SOMEONE GET ME A GOD DAMN ROBE!" Then he made a song out of it.

Not really the same but Chromeo.
Chromeo is so fucking funky and danceable.
Also just some random Future Funk suggestions...
Macross 82-99, Saint Pepsi, Conscious Thoughts, AnTgry, Yung Bae, id chief, Castle Carousel, to a lesser extent Flamingosis...
I will never not upvote some Chromeo.
Not sure I'd phrase it that way but you'd probably like:
Wax Tailor
Ratatat
Justice
Flying Lotus
Paza Rahm
Two Fingers
Claude VonStroke
Xploding PlastiX
Edit:
I'll throw in Caravan Palace and Parov Stellar if you like electroswing
Man, I haven't listened to Ratatat in yeaaars. Thanks for the memory!
My friend took me to Ratatat and busted out a cannabis pipe before we went in. It was the second time I ever had THC. It was SURREAL.
The only experience that tops it for me was rolling tits at Tipper, with a custom stage and projected visuals.
So sad Ratatat is gone. Nothing since 2015. Just one more way the world went downhill since then.
M-83
They're even French
M-83 is it for me. Totally fresh and great.
I don't believe there is a "next daft punk" as of yet but I would consider the following artists relatively daft punk adjacent. Certainly worth checking out.
Flume
What So Not
Gesaffelstein
RL Grime
Rustie
Jungle
Chet Faker
Die Antwoord
Be aware of Die Antwoord controversies and them being horrible people.
Yeah, shame about that, I kinda liked their music.
I don't know about the next Daft Punk, but i share your opinion of earlier vs later and have been digging Framewerk's stuff lately. Give it a whirl: https://framewerk.bandcamp.com/album/the-anthemic-collection-limited-release
Breakbot
I've gotten really into Lemaitre, they're a Norwegian electronic duo thas kind of in between Avicii and Daft Punk, as far as sound goes. To me at least, they're incredible. Their song Reflection came on my playlist one day and.... Man, you ever hear a song and just immediately know you're going to listen to it on repeat for the next week? Then I checked out more of their songs and immediately listened to those on repeat as well.
I never hear anyone talking about them though. It's crazy to me they're not more popular. Their music just seems to push a button in my brain.

My friends who enjoy Daft Punk all love RAM and I, like you, really didn’t dig it. There’s a good song or two but the rest really don’t jive with me.
I recommend listening to Thomas Bangalter's other projects.
I'm not sure if Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo had side projects too.
Track down Club Soda - it’s great.
Roosevelt and Parcels aren’t as electronic but have very similar sounds. Daft Punk actually helped produce a Parcels single.
Porter Robinson is probably worth a listen.
I haven't liked his latest album. His previous stuff is top notch tho.
I really like The Glitch Mob but not sure if they're similar to daft punk.
