They claim Daft Punk as influences . But most of all, old movie soundtracks seem to be one of their biggest influences. It's often said that they named Zdarlight after Philippe Zdar from Cassius. Zdarlight, however is not a homage to Philippe Zdar, only a less conventional spelling of the word "starlight". After the release of the single, Zdar claimed Digitalism had used his name withThe single Pogo is featured in the official soundtracks of Electronic Arts popular video games Need for Speed: ProStreet and FIFA 08.
