Daft Punk's High Life Sample Discovered!

[KnockoutKomedy1]

If you want to hear the missing part, it is in the beggining where they sing "we're just people being people." It is the first 'people'. Try it!

[DuncanTheNarrowGauge]

Also check the vid on the right :"Highlife - The Beat Is Sample Found!"

[ryandrums1001]

How does daft punk even think of using those too seemingly unamazing parts of the song and put them together to create something amazing?!?! They're genius!

[crescentguys999]

@ryandrums1001 that's so true!

[orr971]

Wow... they are tooooo genius... DAFT PUNK!

[TheTeenageMuffin]

dammn. this guy blew daft's cover miserably. lmfao

[MrAnimenerd93]

DAFT PUNK FOR THE FUCKING WIN :)

[kilres14]

fcking gooood!



[41marinemaddogmiller]

Awesome

[live2sk84lyfe]

nothing wrong with taking the tinest parts of music to make much different music

[LATRONNIK]

now how epic is this? crazy!

[GunZEntertainmentZ]

Holy crap, that's freaking awesome

[melodichousemusic]

haha the real artists wont even know their track was used

[mathias198623]

no offence, but daft punk would never say hi to you

[logolover24]

Do one for Indo Silver Club!!!!!!

[Keytap15]

OMG. I just could not stop smiling throughout this entire video. Ingenious

[THAREALDAN]

I never really liked this song, but for some reason I have a little more respect for it now. I have no idea why. I just do.

[themadmallard]

the most important thing about this video is Brian pointing out the fact that they were creating a BASS LINE.

its ALL about the groove.

[shakepuig1]

what a fucking ears they got!!!!!!! damn fuck!! Real Masters

[jaggass]

Its good i had a go didnt add the be in the end. I got F,Dminor,Aminor. I combined to two titles of the songs called it High Punk.

[daftnezzie]

holy shit

[DanteDevil2727]

Oh my god, that is fucking sick!!!! Daft Punk are just pure genius to discover stuff like that

[Polynema]

Wooow!, excellent job!

[BMI07]

daft punk is so sick for that! woooo

[XLSaga]

damn, that is so friggin sick

[shadow12k]

daft punk are some fucking nice to use something soooo simple and turn it into a song smh

[GeoAl09]

this is so sick :) more daft punk videos please!!!!

[squidpants]

What's interesting about all this is that Daft Punk, I assume, listened to all this stuff. Maybe as kids? In France? It seems like they have a deep knowledge of it somehow. It's interesting, I'm just now hearing about this music.

[9MinamiKe6]

I made that mistake too! The second sample of the loop shouldn't been pitched higher or lower, it needs to stay normal.

[Chago14789]

i don't think guy-manuel's name is pronounced, "guy" i think in french it's pronounced, "gee" in some sorts

[nexusprime000]

MANY PROPS!

[SoulSoDivine]

what editor are you using??

[Kelavmeister]

@SoulSoDivine He said he was using mixmeister I believe...

[fauxhawknationvideos]

THAT IS AWESOME.

[breathsbd]

Really Amazing!! It is my favorite song ever!! <3 <3 you know... :) Kisses, Breath

[breathsbd]

Really AMAZING!!! Kisses from spain!! IT IS MY FAVORITE FAVORITE SONG EVER!! <3 <3 you know... :)))

[sgg25981393]

Nice Job!!!! :) omg daft punk is chop the bass@@

[sgg25981393]

Nice Job!!!! :)

[mqobongo]

ahh shit this is brilliant

[maegaman]

omg

[TheKellydstewart]

This is awesome !!



[MashedTV]

I can't believe they finally found the source material. It's still not the exact same sample cut, but it's really close. It's very interesting to see.

[ThinkFastBoom93]

all these reconstruction video actually made me have bigger respect for daft punk

of course its upseting that they deny the samples but this made things interesting for people who went hunting for the samples

but the thing is, the way they use samples is incredible. most people take a bar or a few and put it on loop but daft punk takes tiny unexpected samples here and there and made something totally different out of them!

[bethbrewis98]

OMG, Jaw dropping! Amazoing, you clever bugger!

[lycorisblossom265]

I gotta say, that was pretty freakin' awesome.

[dsaerno]

there is a smudge on your camera lens - by your right eye (our left). i thought it was dirt on my screen and started wiping, but it wouldn't go away. i was going crazy until i scrolled down, and it moved!

[dsaerno]

that was frickin' cool. my mouth dropped when he sped it up.  great vid!

[ferchosuarez]

@3:04 It's High Life :/ :(

[TheRoyalFuzzybug]

Daft Punk are fucking brilliant for spotting that little tid bid and running with it

[anton26g]

Great job on this vid! The samples used by DAFT PUNK for their tracks are available for download. The DL comes complete with the original track info, including but not limited to artists, release date, track title, etc. You'll be surprised who they've sampled, and it's cool to hear the originals which include Barry Manilow, old disco tracks etc.

[blackyurizan]

I like the regular pitch that isn't sped up, better

[galloway62042009]

What does it actually say? buy tha, bong?

[newbornalien]

lol it's funny people look for the samples in their songs :D it shows how famous they are

[CockDiezel14]

touche to daft punk, turning good music into great. <3 daft punk

[188Sozum]

@CockDiezel14 I actually thought the song dp sampled was far better than the one they created.

[29Texan]

FUCKIN' AWESOME!

[Mr5upremacy]

The 4th sample you´ve sampled is not pitched +3, its pitched +1!

If you listen to it then, it sounds completely right ;)

[PARADOXsquared]

O.O wow~~!!!

[fullmetaljacket765]

If it is true it just proves that, Daft Punk are geniuses.

[TheNightcloudHATER]

OMG!!!! LOVE DAFT PUNK EVEN MORE!

[clutchmsilvap]

ZOMG

[CUPCAKEBEATS]

swag

[enmedallo]

Excellente video Brian... Daft Punk Rocks!!!!

[Tomasin19]

Dear effing god. How can you NOT give credit to Daft Punk for doing this?

[ermutanda95]

check my remake in fl studio!

[doglessliberal]

This sample is getting around. Check out Kid "Club feat Sunny M - Rhythm of the Night Electro House Club Mix" Seems like they sampled the High Life and not the original source material :)

[jaggass]

Have ever wondered what daft punk used in 'fresh'? its from the homework album.

[gudynas]

when samples are found, it looks quite simple to make that song (if you already know samples), but to create a song when you have to look for such short samples- this is like to create a song from nothing. Daft Punk created a masterpiece using almost visible different samples, this is what it calls talent.

[renegadesoldier94]

Awesome. Thankyou so much for clarifying the sample. I had no idea what track it was from.

[classicchannel7]

What a slap in the face to the original artist by pronouncing their names wrong at 1:32.. Maybe "Tavares" was before your time young man.

[fagAshLil1234]

@classicchannel7 how do ya say it then?

[classicchannel7]

@fagAshLil1234 It's "Taveras" Not "Traveras"

[classicchannel7]

@fagAshLil1234 

[MrBuntings]

coool

[Lorenshyne]

Thanx for explaining the sample of this fantastic song. And to explain how they made it up. DP uses good samples and turn themn into legendary songs. So whats the sample song? Kisses

[mandokir]

What was the point in bringing it onto CDJ other than to demonstrate your inability to use some expensive piece of equipment which you shouldn't have bought.

[mexicanINDK]

that's a cool hobby

[DylanTripleX]

This is cool!

[peardan]

Hey American....  ...You're OK.

[kammioneito]

Buying a bong...

[Manmeat15678845]

Wow awesome. This blew my mind :)

[EdnaFrom85]

OMG I love High Life!

I would have never have figured that out!

OMG I'm psyched right now, that is so AWESOME

[KellarJS]

dude really nice so it's a sample daft punk is lame...:s using samples to reach the top lol if i use samples to i shall be famous to...just wav kick snares etc done lol

[greatgodlessness]

@KellarJS. you're an idiot.

[KellarJS]

@greatgodlessness nah it's the truth retarded ...

[juniorphreak]

Holy crap, my mind is blown.

[usdrell11]

uau... im reallyy amazed by this discovery but there's one track that nobody has sucessfully tracked to it's source.. "Something About Us"

After watching this video i get the feeling that it's achievable.

Can you track it back ?

[enjoypolo]

This is a Terrific founding ! Wow !! Respek

[NSaNePrEp11]

i never knew what the sample was, and never knew what it was saying... im disappointed it doesn't say anything, but cool it was figured out

[ermutanda95]

Hi mate,can you sens me the edited track that you have exported from mixmeister?sorry for my bad english i'm a italian boy! :D

[frigga]

i don't really get it in the video - what's that band's name and how was this track called?

[Dymys200]

Guy and tomas are VERY busy with Their new album and TRON

[CRAKIZGOOD]

soo random

its shows how much skill daftpunk has

god i love they created something sooo great :)

i love them

[benjiboy122]

aamazing thank you for showing this.

[SynesthesiaMusic]

Isn't the fourth sample (the one that's second if you put it all together) supposed to go down 2 semitones? Because at the moment it's Gm, and it's supposed to be Fm.

Right? Correct me if I'm wrong. o_o

[nezzarathon]

Hooollllyyyyy SHiiiiiiiiiiiittt!!!!!^^ How could you guys found out about this! OOO_____OOO But i might not be the real sample may be!.....

[TheNoblesGuild]

That is Fire! God how did this ibanz guy find that?! That's sampling I respect. They pulled short clips from 3 places to make 1 loop. From experience, not hard, but not ez... Cool uploads Mr. brainsredd, try Fl Studio's *Slicex*/Edison Editor to chop ur samples n plenty more. Mix Meister is nothing compared to it. U should love it. However I'm not sure you can as technical with it. But you probably can n I never bothered.

[MrDomq22]

pretty damn close bro good work

[djschoolcraftmusic]

Holy shit, Daft Punk are ingenious.

I wish sampling was always this brilliant.

[djmatt96]

Awesome! :D

[Cucuriqui2]

daft punk need to spend lots of hours and loads of imagination to creat the tracks they are incredible

[ChannelTravis]

I did this with garageband :)

[ChannelTravis]

Genius.

[xolemonlime2]

thats the genius of daft punk ;D they rock. nice video by the way! i would have never guessed that anyone would ever find it.

[Hold423]

niiiicccceee that's it

[santiagoff]

This is mindblowingly AWESOME!!

[LigerZeroPanzar]

Oh that's cool go daft punk ;D

I'm finding this fascinating :3

[PMB827]

haha the samples are at such random points

[dinkz9201]

what is the name of these software, i want it!!!

[finnholger]

First part of the second bar is not is not quite right. Thx for the video tho. Just like you I've been lookin for that sample since late 90's. 

[Martijnnaber]

You became some kind of legend on Youtube because of all your Deconstructions. Seriously, You should make more. I enjoy them so much, and I'm sure plenty of others also do.

Still, This sample was discovered a few months ago, but it still shivers my spine when I hear it ;D

[troysson81]

Only thing you missed is the second sample has to be slowed down like 10 bpm.

[shion255]

Great job!

[MrNat4Real]

I'm astonished! Makes me question the creativity of most producers... I still give credit to Daft Punk, though

[ohiunku]

its ibonnaz not ibonza

[alexisthemanandrocks]

here is the person who found "the Beat Is" Sample iammagna

[djmikedee]

OH MY GOD. You sir, are a legend.

[suecra13]

Everybody should thank Love & Mind (Pecherecords) for finding this.

[hazeleyes171]

PHAT BREAKDOWN

[Daftendirektour]

Tavares - Love Uprising...

Just saying... (:

VIVA LA DAFT PUNK!!!

[Daftendirektour]

Fuck, I just made a comment on your One More Time video saying you should do a video for this... XD...

[Batipede]

WOOOW, you are a genious man, i have been looking for the sample of high life on the web but i never found it. And i saw your other video: "more spell on you discovered". You have to be a good listener to hear that samples man, good work, and keep discovering ;)

[sampsonist]

Almost all the bits of da sample expect you forgot the one at 2:00 "Beat" & plus that sample was so hard to find because it was pitched up so high that you can't even recognize it what a find LOL.

[philliessuck4ever]

awesome!!!1!

[rampageturke]

you sir, are a legend

[TDproductions7]

I am aware that this isn't perfect, but in the chop, the second sample beat isn't in the song, it's just one simgle note through.

[shawtymann]

There's one more sample in this song that you didnt show. Watch this vid to see it

/watch?v=00BrTMmbuNs

[ibizasoldier]

NO WAY!!!! THAT was waY past COol!!!!!!

That is straight amazzing

[rocawearboi09]

Thats amazing!

When he said Daft Punk was making bass lines and then showed us I freaked out!

[mikeweb92576]

"-vive, strong!" Great work, man. The Ableton Live Remake was cool, but you did the baseline. 5 stars

[TKTannerman89]

That is awesome, man :D

Keep it up!

[LuigiMario98981]

do you need anyother thing when u use MixMeister

[briansredd]

nope, just tunes and something to hear them with :)

[LuigiMario98981]

ok i have tunes and somthing to listen to them with =D and mixmeister

[bigt72gmc]

Man, Brian if you do get to meet Daft Punk,you really need to let us know and tell us how it went and what they said to you and what they think about your work.That would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LuigiMario98981]

they chopped up the voice of the line with survive life and chopped it , /vive life/ speeding it up thus making High Life

[lipperman93]

omg Daft Punk is genius!

[irishboy2kwateva]

you mean are geniuses

[anettehallstrom]

This is just awesome! Everyone I am showing this to is losing their jaw :)

[DilutePeople]

Oh my god....a little tear was shed. Finally

[wwwtoddy]

Hey!

You missed one sample at 1:59 (in the video).

[briansredd]

Yeah the BEAT sample.. or People sample. That one was pointed out to me after I shot this. Never even picked that up in High Life. Great spotting!

[keefr72]

that was brilliant. i've never been into mixing or anything but i love daft punk and its been bugging me what song this came from. thanks for posting

[stuffedsonic]

Those samples are so random, I'm suprised anyone found them.

[HelC001]

@stuffedsonic Agreed, someone has a very good ear for music. Didn't even realise that some of those parts of the song were even sampled :p

[realtremil]

@stuffedsonic shows how awesome daft punk is. like... masters of sampling . lol

[souprshooter]

That was freaking awesome.

[MagikGimp]

I know I'm spamming comments now but I guess it must just come from messing around with record decks. You have all these old LPs and you just mess around scratching with them and stuff comes out. I love the mystery lost in the mists of time. =)

[MagikGimp]

To follow, I guess the thing is we'll never know as Daft Punk never give interviews right?

[MagikGimp]

Why on earth or how rather would anyone take samples so seemingly randomly like that? No wonder no one has found this until now. Great video, cheers B.

[lightzone1]

pure genious if you see how dp came up with this!

[StaffRecordPlayer]

Ure the Mixmeister pro Brian ;)

Love that program.

You need to show me some more tricks at Musikmesse! Youre coming right ?

Cheers

Fabian

[RaneMixers]

Sweet! !!

[dudewarp]

wow I'm glad I saw this. It didn't show up on my front page. that's awe. I'm going to give this a shot as well at remaking the song. and the comment about creating bass lines. I never noticed that but you're completely right. I used to sample a few years ago and that would have been great knowledge back then searching for songs to chop.

[domq422]

bro guy is pronounced gee and awesome vid it sounded exactly like high life

[sutiban]

When are you going to do some more Origins videos??? Those are awesome. Especially the daft punk ones :-)

[briansredd]

Well, this was one of them

[jaggass]

dont know why daft punk denied that most of their stuff on discovery wasnt sampled it was like they was trying to take all credit.

[Cucuriqui2]

@briansredd hey do you think that the final result does sound as if it was saying high life

[alexisthemanandrocks]

Do You Really Think That Daft punk would really come to see you????

if so that's cool but i would really doubt it would be for good reasons other than saying good job on the findings or what the hell man ???

[briansredd]

Relax Alex.. I HIGHLY doubt they even watch! But, on the other hand... who knows?

[RandallFaraday]

Wooaaa

Pretty cool

All this DJ / mixing music stuff seems like an incredibly world of fun and awesomeness !!

[snowdjagha]

can be harworking sometimes too...

[zeronamagem]

just so u know when u meet daft punk, guy is pronounced "gee" with a hard "G" sound (like the g in "goat" rather than the g in "George.")

its french, i just dont want you to insult them when you meet them, because i know you will :P

[briansredd]

Oh I HIGHLY doubt they would even be at NAMM let alone watch my videos. It was just something fun to say JUST in case. HA!

[biznikenevado]

You're quite RIGHT! it's awesome how Daft Punk creates NEW bass lines from chopping songs! I had already noticed that in "one more time"!

GREAT VIDEO DUDE!

[Bassbox93]

very interesting daft punk videos :)

they helped me :D

thanks brian

[AnthonyValgoVerga]

Really really nice (Y) I like your videos! :)

[2Phunkee4u]

Thanks again! Looking forward to see more new vids from you!

[TEKITO12]

i knew that long years but i dont know how splicate

YOU RIGTH famadj I LIKE YOU COMMENT jaj

[Neckwerk2]

Brian, that was amazing! Daft punk used a lot of old disco samples on their "Discovery" album. Go album to dance to.

[briansredd]

LA People.. I'll be with Chris Big Daddy Andrews in front of the Chinese Theater around 8 PM tonight (1/12/2010) if anyone wants to hook up!

[vidy95]

BRILLIANT ;)

[BenAMCevents]

Thanks Brian.

It is one thing for Daft Punk to make such great songs... but it is pretty impressive to pick that sample from a random song after hearing the final version.

[doctordeejay]

Daft Punk goes to NAMM ?

[briansredd]

Hey it's worth a shot! HA!

[shadowspork]

Yes! Thank you to those involved!! Another mystery sample solved!! I can sleep a little easier now, lol!!

[Armidillodude]

thats mega fawkin cool

[famadj]

wow! you discover america!
