The Micronauts are a Paris-based electronic dance music act founded in 1995. The group are part of the French dance music movement from the 1990s to 2000s dubbed French Touch. The original Micronauts line-up consisted of Christophe Monier and the Canadian-born George Issakidis. Monier and Issakidis met whilst working at the Parisian music fanzine eDEN. The Micronauts' debut track Get Funky Get Down was originally released in 1995 on the London-based Phono label. The single features Daft Punk’s first-ever remix, along with the original version and the B-side “Back To The Bioship”. The Nature 1994 Cassette Version, recorded as its name implies in 1994 on a cassette tape, was only included on a 2017 release on the Micronautics label. The second release was a 12 inch called The Jazz / The Jam. The duo continued to work throughout the 1990s, developing an acid techno style of their own. Their work attracted the attention of high-profile artists, such as The Chemical Brothers, Underworld and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. Indeed, their remix of "Block Rockin' Beats" appears on The Chemical Brothers' DJ mix album Brothers Gonna Work It Out.
