Busy P and the hot mask


Pedro Winter aka Busy P is a French electronic DJ, producer, manager and owner of the Ed Banger Records label. From 1996 to 2008 he managed Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter better known as Daft Punk. The mystery of Guy-Manuel and Thomas' identity and the elaborate nature of their disguises has added to their popularity. The iconic status of the robotic costumes has been compared to the makeup of KISS and the school-boy kit worn by Angus Young. Their masks may, however, be slightly impractical. Bangalter stated, "The mask gets very hot, but after wearing it as long as I have, I am used to it."
