Daft Punk: Sampling of Da Funk

[THAREALDAN]

Hmm. Interesting.

[Asonqualityguitars]

vaughn mason and crew are actually fucken sick

[Slah606]

WDPK 83.7FM is actually based from Musique.

[Simba7032]

@Slah606 Not the beat. The beat came from Daftendirekt, which came from Da Funk.

[litlekarim33]

daft punk is one of the biggest scandal.. Just to imagine how big they got with nothing, an there are still people who likes this !!! I cant believe it!!!!

[DJevilstereo]

@litlekarim33 Nothing? What do you mean nothing?

[Bikendi100]

@DJevilstereo He means he is a poor bastard who doesnt know anything about house music. Bless for your work, Evil Stereo. dont let the house music die

[fagAshLil1234]

@litlekarim33 I don't like it i love it, it's aewsome. Don't care if they sample to make music

[iLikeRandomVids]

@litlekarim33 what do you mean? its called sampling, a whole lot of muscians sample. even the song "U Cant Touch This" had samples in it!

[litlekarim33]

@litlekarim33 Idiot, man... if u make music u know what i talk about.. to sample music, like in hip hop is alright, because then they take a soul song, cut it samples it. and it gets just a little part of the song who doesnt sound like even something of the song is in it.. but daft punk took a fucking song, put a bass on it, and finidhes.. a 5 year old could do that.. and you idiots like that !! embarrassing

[Jk981206]

@litlekarim33 Well, with this song, yeah, the beat was taken.

But have you seen their other song's samples?

Have you heard More Spell On You by George Duke?

Have you heard One More Time by Daft Punk?

DP sampled GD and you won't even recognize.

How about Break Down For Love by Tavares and High Life by Daft Punk?

It took people a WHILE to find that sample.

Look up High Life sample and One more time sample. You'll be amazed what they can do. It's more than just ripping off a beat.

[WaddleBuff]

@litlekarim33 What do you mean nothing. Bieber lover.

[babekcologne]

there's a sample of Jody Watley, too. I made a video showing it.

[jaggass]

it sounds like the drum beat was remade

[Daftendirektour]

Evil Stereo, you forgot, they sampled the track for "Somethings in the Air" as well hahahaha... aah, The Daft Club jokes (:

[ThePrivilegedElite]

"Da Funk" sounds pretty parallel to the main theme of the old SNES game, Battle Cars. At least as I remember it. It's been many a year since I've played the game, but there's several parts that sound identical.

[gtaretroz]

that is right but Daft Punk will be the Kings of House and the Gods of French House ;)

[isaac4lego]

all DJs do this so... its stupid... who cares? they make the best music!

[Batipede]

Yeah man, you are right. But Daftendirekt was based on Da Funk on proposite, to mix them both later on the Alive 2007

[xenomagnus]

Heh! Growing up in the 70's I vaguely remember that old school funk. Wow nice research. It does match up.

[DjChappelle2009]

Maybe Daft Punk sampled A drum beat to create Da Funk, but it wasn't this. Where the third hi-hat hits, there's no third in Da Funk. And the second kick drum hits right after the second hat in the first audio clip, yet not in Da Funk. Unlike their other songs, Da Funk is not sampled.

[liger411]

nice nice but that is a really simple beat and i dont think daft punk would need to sample a beat like that, and house music uses that type of beat really often (a four four beat with a snare on every other one), and even if they did sample it daft punk is really open about its sampling, its not the type of thing they would just try to hide.

[DJevilstereo]

Ehhh They're not as open about it as you may think. They've flat out denied sampling for One More Time and Aerodynamic (even though the samples are obvious).

I understand the beat is easily recreatable, but the characteristics of the snare (with the slight echo behind it) are a bit too similar to ignore, and the hi hats seem identical. It's most audible in WDPK.

They are perfectly capable of making the beat themselves, but why copy the beat, when you can just take it? ;D

[liger411]

o i never heard they used sampling on one more time?

but i guess may be for their first album they could of hid some sampling since they were a beginning band...

but i mean they asked permission for nearly all there samples and are open about it, like in harder better faster stronger, cresendolls, digital love, robot rock, and more so i dont really think if they're willing to be open about that many samples why wouldnt they admit these supposed ones?

[lJohnnyTheFoxl]

It's just how it goes with music. Producers of any genre don't want to, or feel the need to, divulge every little trick they used to make songs or albums. It adds to the mystique and discourages people from copying.

[fagAshLil1234]

neither do I, but artists do it all the time. Like nathanmass star lover, no credits given to d train. Black Box ride on time, no credit went to Loetta Holloway, and she kicked up a fuss when she heard it

[fagAshLil1234]

and i kinda like that about them, it adds mystery and means u get loads of intresting hypothesis type vids and stuff

[EarlGreyOfficial]

@DJevilstereo

exactly

good artists imitate, but great one steal

[Daftendirektour]

@DJevilstereo They can't the High Life sample... hahaha... We got them this time...

[DarkZavage]

@DJevilstereo where is your proof of this "They've flat out denied sampling for One More Time and Aerodynamic" ?

[fagAshLil1234]

Belive it or not, drums are sampled alot in house Sometimes off a house record which samples a house record and goes on and on untill you get to the disco record 5000 down the line it was orignall from.

[Jannto]

Do you guys have ANY idea how hard it is to make an electronic song sound good without any live instrumentation. I mean they are not hurting the artists, they are adding a nice touch to their music. Yes they do lots of work to make the samples work. It's not just effortless.

[ronbeat]

i like the mix you did here!

[ryanthescooterguy]

Shout out to Le DJ Fab and Brian S Redd!

[DJevilstereo]

Totally! Love their videos. Once I finish this damn EP I've been working on since November , I'll make more videos like this.

[LexOnTheWeb]

I think they got a lot of Da Funk into Daftendirekt. If you listen closely near the end you can hear the Synth from Da Funk.

[DJevilstereo]

Yep. Daftendirekt is actually a live recording from a show they did before the albums release. I'm sure they were doing an into to the show and were about to mix in Da Funk.

[famerebel]

Well.. Thats pretty abstract..

[LuckysBox]

They kinda lowered the volume of the bassline in daftendirekt.

[Martijnnaber]

The Bassline is the filterd bass of Around the World! Hear the notes and listen at the up and down part.!!!

[smashtwisted]

Yeah I hear it too! You could mostly hear the beat in WDPK 83.7 FM.

[benjaminpoopa]

YEHH U GOT RIGHT but it sounds like the bassline of another bites the dust of queen too

[DJevilstereo]

It all started with Chic - Good Times. That iconic bassline inspired The Sugarhill gang to use the same bassline for their track Rapper's Delight. Queen and Vaughan Mason & Crew both took inspiration from the bassline, and finally, in 1996, two daft kids took inspiration from it too, with Around the World.

[benjaminpoopa]

hahahah thank you now i know it :D

[marikun]

'Good Times' is an undoubtable nexus for music in the 1970s and 80s. Besides the bassline, the main piano riff seems to have been interpolated countless (just look at Change - The Glow Of Love released the same year) as well as it being a huge hit in its own right. The sad thing is that Chic were basically forgotten outside of the disco/funk and house scene.

[amq55]

The bassline sounds terribly like Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In the Wall" main riff.

[JMReworksYou]

they do sound extremely similar, although i doubt they would sample a beat as simple to make as that.

[DJevilstereo]

True, but I would be willing to call inspiration, at least.
