Video didn’t even mention the sample from “The Stranger” at the end of Loop 3. So committed to sampling one song, only to jump completely to another song off the album. Daft Punk were masters of hiding samples from the same album in plain sight.
I knew it was Billy Joel, and I could hear it in "High Fidelity", but I never found anyone with the dedication to properly deconstruct it. Kudos, my good (wo)man.
This is how people with talent sample. Not just stealing the memorable parts of other songs, but creating a memorable hook from a small section of an existing musical passage and adding new melodies to make something fresh.
I cried for some reason. This isn't an "exposed!" Vid as much as a "omfg how amazing they are to have formed music from this. How creative must they be to see the music within these samples. They have to be robots to calculate these clips into full songs." Amazing. Truly the best at their craft.
No fucking way, I never connected the sample in High Fidelity to Billy Joel. And I'm only able to pick out that extra little EQ'd sample in Crescendolls now that you've pointed it out. This right here is how you really demonstrate a sample effectively, by actually making an attempt to reconstruct it from scratch using the original track. There was another video that I can't find anymore that did the same thing with not nearly as many songs as you did, and it was incredibly instructive. Kudos to you sir.
The one thing that I haven't seen any video attempt yet is to take a crack at reconstructing Face To Face. Most videos just mention the Evil Woman sample and move on, and although I can kinda hear the timbres of ELO in there, I'm having an extremely hard time wrapping my brain around exactly how Thomas, Guy and Todd Edwards chopped that song up into what we hear on the track. Although, I finally found out that they also sampled Falling In Love by Surface and I can definitely hear clear snippets of that song in the mix, way more easily than with Evil Woman. If you could find the time and willpower to really dig into Face To Face the way you did with High Fidelity, I'm certain it would be extremely helpful to me to understand exactly what is going on in my favorite song from Discovery. Thanks for your hard work.
In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised. It has some good songs, but overall, it's disappointing, especially compared to their previous albums. Then again, it's hard to top something as majestic as Discovery.
This was amazing to hear! It really shows just how clever and genius Daft Punk were with their sampling. The samples on High Fidelity and High Life really threw me off... I can only imagine how long it took you to find all the samples!
With how much was taken from Just The Way You Are for High Fidelity, it might as well be "Billy Joel - Just The Way Your Are (Daft Punk High Fidelity Remix)" Still one of my favorite tracks from them.
Wow this is incredible. More people should watch this! This has more work put into it than most videos made now that get millions of views. Share this video guys.
3:12 to 7:55. WOAH MY GOD!! The samples you can make out of just one of Billy Joel’s most well known hits is absolutely INSANE!! Like I just got transported into another dimension as I’m a producer myself!😮
Spacebrain, that was the shit! Super impressive that you were able to isolate so many samples. Also shows the genius and talent of Daft Punk. Who knew one could do so much with late 70's early 980's samples. I'm sure this took a considerable amount of time to produce. Brilliant!!
I think Face to Face is even more complex since more than half of the samples are still unknown to this day, High Fidelity, on the other hand, doesn't use lots of songs, even though this song is as complex as the latter.
TEM8 aka Ptpix1 Had Got You Covered.. Check Out The Sampling of Crydamoure and The Sample Breakdown of Two Songs by Fatboy Slim. The Rockefeller Skank was on The First "Sampling of Electronic Artists" Video, While Bird of Prey was on The Fourth of Third "Sampling of Electronic Artists" Video.
i don't understand complaints about sampling. because in art everything is always inspired by other's work. Without this, already very very long, tradition none of it would exist. I think it is actually impoosible to track down the "real" originator of a tune or a riff, and even if you did manage to find that dead hobo that maybe nile rodgers ripped off (who the hell knows, do you actually know these guys? were you there? no!) who is to say that he wasn't inspired by a little piece of music he heard in a blues bar... If you take little snapshots, even a whole riff, and focus on it, melt it into a fucking awesomely produced housetrack, and are thus creating an own universe with charming little pieces of old vinyl, thats superfine and its so interesting to discover new music when you dive further into the libraries of classic songs that would otherwise never be revisited.. which is a hell of a lot of homework, which they should get credit for anyway because it is a genius universe they made. I BELIEVE THAT THE SHEER VASTNESS OF MUSIC HISTORY ITSELF IS THE JUSTIFICATION FOR REMIXING AND SAMPLING AS AN ARTFORM, THE ART HERE IS THE CHOICES OF MUSIC TO SAMPLE FROM YOU MAKE and of course how you produce them all together with your drum machines, fx etc. ;) any comebacks, still? cheers!
well, i don't haha, just a futile attempt at convincing others, but maybe i better just stop trying ^^ no point winding myself up about it, i guess :p you know the feeling. it just bothers me endlessly that, what would it be, 90 percent?? of people still take all that drake minaj cyrus guetta taylor swift drivel, man, how is it possible not to notice that they're just money groveling corporation acts, that all sound so cliche it makes you want to jump off a cliff, you know? :p lol
Wow Digital Love is definitely my favorite song by them as of now (probably always will be). It has a different, more emotional feel. Also, One More Time will always be a classic, so that one as well ;)
Holy shit the Musique one just blew my mind. I don't know why I never thought that it was reversed. That was already one of my favorite songs by them but that just made it better.
I'm guessing they just have thier Akai MPC automatically chop up a sample and map it out it's drum pad, then start playing around with it and see what happens.
I just came back here after 3 years and I'd just like to express my overall impression of this video. It truly opened my eyes to how amazing samples were when I saw it at 17 years old. I've never had such appreciation for music and samples before until now. This video absolutely blew me away and I dare say it's one of the best videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. Shame it doesn't have more views!
FF No, it’s also from Running Away. This video doesn’t show the vocals from the song, which is where that “Oh-Uah” vocal comes from. There used to be a video breaking down how it’s done, but it was deleted.
I can't even hate on Daft Punk. First albums I ever bought were Daft Punk's, and the fact that most of their music is sampled, have open my ears to lots of great artists that I've never heard of.
I did the video a few weeks before the release of RAM, but there's nothing complicated behind Contact's sampling. They've taken two loops from "The Sherbs - We Ride Tonight" and did chopped samples from the Apollo missions 16 and 17
This video was one of my first encounters with all this "sampling" stuff, something about music that I currently love so much. Thank you for make this video
this is a tutorial on the art of sampling by the masters themseves DAFT PUNK!!! omg, they are fukin genius! great video editing and recreation much respect to the video editor and creator!
They take small parts of songs and turn it into something epic. I wasnt ok with this at first because i thought they wrote everything. I mean they basically did. Anyone could come up with these small parts of songs. Edit: (I posted this comment before I knew much about sampling)
Your disrespect for the original black funk and disco artists - many of who were great writers, musicians and artists in their own right - is palpable but all too typical of a myopic (and ignorant) Daft Punk fan. They sampled from entire songs. Sometimes creatively - sometimes not. The original artists, however, did not just write some random snippets. And if it was oh-so-easy to compose this music and "anyone" could do it then why didn't Daft Punk simply write it themselves, mhm? Face it - you're probably the typical Daft Punk fan who looks down on hip hop sampling but falls all over the 'art and craft' of sampling when *certain* people do it, eh? And you probably struggled to reconcile yourself that these two DJs do what every other DJ does - sample. The fact that some of their fans actually had the temerity to dream that a couple of young white French guys wrote these heavy black funk riffs and bass lines that sound like they came straight out of the seventies and eighties is pathetically ignorant. If you had a clue about black music you'd realise that they could *never* have written this. Clearly you can't even recognize whole genres if African-American music when you hear them. But then you probably think Jerry Lee Lewis invented rock 'n' roll. Even more idiotic is the idea that 'anyone' could have written this music. To repeat: Daft Punk sure as hell didn't write it and neither could you or I. Stop behaving as if black musicianship and culture has has no value or worth and there is no skill involved in making it unless a white DJ comes along and uses it. *Eyeroll*
Did you even watch this video? They didn't sample "entire songs"; they took small parts and built off of them. If you were listening to one station playing High Fidelity and turned to another station that was in the middle of Just the Way You Are, you probably wouldn't even be able to tell that the former samples the latter. You're just like every other anti-sampling elitist. You're so fixated on the fact that something was sampled _at all_ that you don't consider how the sample was used, how _much_ of the sample was used, what was used, and when it was used. Furthermore, Daft Punk can and _have_ written original material before - sometimes in conjunction with sampling! Wow, it's almost as if using samples doesn't automatically discredit you as a musician.
You're one of the most ignorant people I've ever encountered on the Internet. I absolutely love Hip-Hop, I've been studying it for the past year, I live and breathe it. And you also completely misinterpreted what i said. The tiny snippets of songs that they take are just simple melodies, melodies that anybody could come up with if they tried, so therefore in my mind at the time, it quelled my idea of Daft Punk just stealing music, because they have good ears for good sounding melodies that can loop well too. Also, thank you for replying to this comment that I posted almost 3 years ago when I was 15 years old. A comment that you decided to waste your time replying to with preachy ignorant bullshit. Your post is filled with "you probably" this and "you probably just" that. Assumptions makes an ass out of both of us. Especially you, condescending babbler.
They were fans of all that music. SoulSonic Force sampled from Kraftwerk's Trans Europe Express to make Planet Rock; Afrika Bambaataa had good taste in music.
@@seraphimprince Bambaataa didn't produced Planet Rock, Arthur Baker did... Also Bambaataa was not a KW fan. Watch Duck Sauce's podcast with Baker. He basically tells the whole story
When Daft Punk samples their favorite childhood songs, they do so in such an artful way that it feels more like the musical equivalent of "kitbashing."

Wow. High fidelity was on another level. And most people won't ever know the work behind it.

Holy Shit dude the high fidelity sample blew my mind!!!!
you have one hell of an ear!!!
Its such a complex and somewhat creative sampling process involved in high fidelity, amazing stuff by DP
yeah i loved how they got those swirling keyboard sounds

now after the breakup of the duo I understand how talented they were
"Were" 😪
If you made all these researches and explainations with your owns extracted samples, you're a boss. Thanx man.
When I see how they made their songs, it confirms me that Daft Punk are real genius, and that you are a genius too for finding all of this :o
11:41 Aerodynamic
19:02 High Life
Hearing the loops come together is a thing of beauty. And they sound just as awesome before the audio alterations as after!
that high fidelity sample is dope!
High Fidelity was always one of my favorite tracks off Homework...that sampling was first class, man. Well done putting it together!
that intro beat sample of Superheroes.. i had no idea! omg lol
Tony Hinshaw weird flex but ok
I thought it was a female voice on "high life" but turns out its a sped up male voice
The Human After All album was reportedly made in only 6 weeks and it definitely shows here
In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised. It has some good songs, but overall, it's disappointing, especially compared to their previous albums. Then again, it's hard to top something as majestic as Discovery.
Human After All is amazing for how little time it was made in. Criminally underrated.
I’m also one of those that really likes Human After All. I prefer that kind of hard techno over their new soul-funk sound
Human after all may not be a great record but the way they worked the songs in live on alive 2007 was genius.
There's some solid bangers in there, Technologic is my guilty pleasure.
The most in-depth video about Daft Punk's samples on the Internet. Thanks a lot. Very interesting.
For 20 years I thought they were speaking French, it was billy joel

Thank you for your work, this is not real stealing a sample, it’s recreates a new song. It’s evolving
Crescendolls sounded very... off
THENE01 Yeah...something was wrong with it I guess...
Maybe that one has a copyright problem?
that fade from Aerodynamic to digital love !!!!!
Wow Digital Love is definitely my favorite song by them as of now (probably always will be). It has a different, more emotional feel. Also, One More Time will always be a classic, so that one as well ;)
Plus, the guitar solo is so great
the sampling from The Stranger is BEAUTIFUL
Holy shit the Musique one just blew my mind. I don't know why I never thought that it was reversed. That was already one of my favorite songs by them but that just made it better.
The High Fidelity sample still blows my mind.
I'm guessing they just have thier Akai MPC automatically chop up a sample and map it out it's drum pad, then start playing around with it and see what happens.
They also used mostly the SP1200 :)

Musique is underrated in my opinion, making an entire song based on a small sample played in reverse is truly unique.

Best video ever about Daft Punk's samples!
that "one more time" man, good job Daft punk. insane
The High Life sample(s) is so good, one of my fave tunes from Discovery.
the High Fidelity one threw me for a loop because I couldnt hear it until the end of the breakdown.
19:35 & 21:36, I rarely find these in the majority of covers, nice touch!
Now I have a clear understanding of people claiming One More Time sampled More Spell on You.
Finally, we know the origins of "cartoon, eat a drink" and "buy a bong"
Damn, Robot Rock was lazy.
RexVergstrong its still a good song
What do you expect from what is arguably their worst album
that was not lazy, they added electric guitars over the main thing from Thomas, some drums from Guy and rearranged the beginning.
HAA is probably my favorite daft punk album
it would seem that way. but the actual recording is a lot sloppier and they only sampled the intro.
Wow, did you work for Daft Punk?
I know this was 4 years after but ironically he missed some
Yeah he did his homework for them
Musique sample is perfect!

The sampling on Contact doesn't even need explanation, right?
Quite a few from Discovery are quite obvious, some are more obscure...
I did the video a few weeks before the release of RAM, but there's nothing complicated behind Contact's sampling. They've taken two loops from "The Sherbs - We Ride Tonight" and did chopped samples from the Apollo missions 16 and 17

Thank god it's back.
BTW, One More Time does in fact sample More Spell On You because you can hear the tinging of the triangle in both the original song and the samples!
Thanks for getting this back up, it's been a while since I last saw this!
In 'Voyager', the drumbeat in the intro is most likely to be sampled from 'Avenues' by Refugee Camp All-Stars.
the one more time was just too perfect that i couldnt resist watching it 10 more times
