Thomas Bangalter - What To Do (A3)

[doudousuperstar]

amazing track! TR POWA

[cybercbr]

tempos nation by cyber

[IcecoldBotch]

Recently sampled by French Fries ;)

[EpicWinningFaceGirl]

Thomas Bangatler= awesome. :)

[Brunovisk726]

You can easily see the Roland Drum Machine TR-909 in this pic. Why do you think there is a song called: Revolution 909? ;)

But I still dunno what to do tonight... :D

[infestedduke]

Song should be called "Headache"

[HomlessRichDude]

@infestedduke u should be called Tone-Deaf X)

[ChocolateExplosion]

this is a good track, one of my favorites since it came out.. but guy-man is fucking sick too.. his solo stuff is just as good. Guy Man writes songs/melodies on a guitar which explains daft punks sound standing out compared to other synth acts. so people should calm down on claiming bangalter is much better.

[dudynator1]

OMFG!!!!!!!!! :O

[MrUtster]

thomas bangalter > guy-man

[EncyclopedicHobo]

@MrUtster true dat home dizzle baby jeebus on a stick

[strictlyriddim]

Best Thomas Bangaulter track ever IMO. It honestly sounds like he sampled a jungle drum loop for this...but with those hard 909 drums it just kills for real! Like the dude has just got that talent for that as far as cutting samples and drums goes. Now it's definetly so obvious to me who did what on Homework on what tracks. Thomas is just ahead of the game like no other producer is or has been!

[bryanmartinez101]

love the bass and drums!!!!

[snowdjagha]

guy-manuel is in the backgroud! he's the long hair dude!

[saltyoceanwater]

I LOVE this!! Thomas is a God!!!!! <3

[InfiniteTechnicolor]

Thomas Bangalter is made of gold but wears a silver helmet. Heh. Ironic.

[leclique505]

aqqui aquiaqui

thats whats up!!]]

[ThinkFastBoom93]

bangalter loves to repeat lines

and man i can never get bored of them

some magic those samples must have @_@

[tishytishy123]

awesome!! love this at the mo too

/watch?v=7CgGuiYty-U

[BuggMusic]

Man, he always looks so baked while DJing... probably cus he's so focused ;)

[usaggi]

@BuggMusic Cause he is made of GOLD

[emanueljoab]

"Oh, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO about this dream and you" lol

[GilopTV]

@emanueljoab lol actually, this could be a sample lol

[BlowItOutYourAss69]

very annoying beginning jesus

[noklarok]

@BlowItOutYourAss69 heavy good beginning

[opedroefeio]

That drum machine is huge O.O

[decideforyourself1]

I know what to do at night. I want to get high, have sex with my girl, rock out on some of MY tunes, and blast off into outer'fuckin'space to Daft Punk man. >=D And if the spaceship's a rockin' don't come a knockin' xP

[nintendokings]

I bet now he does know what to do at night ...with Elodie ^^

Although, he does have kids :-/

[altronixvideo]

A tune for the indecicive.....

[citro7000]

Wait.. is it guy-man in the background? (:

[conemen1]

@citro7000 Fuck yes it is!!!!

[CyberVsWolverine]

@citro7000 yeahh its the guy on red

[Rubberduckyofdoomy]

@CyberVsWolverine

honestly, it looks like Guy always wears that shirt. at least the pics i've seen him in

[Malum09]

@citro7000 yes, yes it is?

[citro7000]

FFUU this is awesome!

[flysteven1]

I dont know why we do it tonight

[TheReRiVaS21]

Great track...what it call?

[CaptainEggSalad]

@TheReRiVaS21 READ THE MOTHERFUCKING VIDEO TITLE.

[Bibi736]

@CaptainEggSalad jajaajajjaajaja !!!!

[MrPancake2]

@TheReRiVaS21 *facepalm*

[funkdc]

love trax on the rox tunes were quite short though



[omrproductionz]

10 people can burn in fire! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TONIGHT I DUNNO!

[Jchot]

what's that break?

[Jazzybreaks]

@Jchot i need to know too.

[mortydorius]

how can people not like this?

[DonJuanDeMarco2]

You know, its the most subtle touches in the composition/mix of the elements that makes his music work. Without them, it would sound crap, yet its far far from it.

And yet, i think most of it is manipulated hands on live and recorded. Maybe in segments. Its like a dj approach to making music.

[TubbyGeneration135]

i just had an eargasm!!!!!!!!

[TubbyGeneration135]

NICE!!! BEST!!!!!

HE IS A GOD!!!!!!!

[markusastran00]

Vai Julião..... Sound Factory!!!!!!

[rcecil88]

909 FUCKING LOVE IT!

[sivakp2510]

909 in the foreground niiiiice

[gameglitcher7]

EVERYBODY THOMAS HAS ONLY DONE 1 VOICE IN HIS SONGS THAT SONG IS TECHNOLOGIC IF U WATCHED DAFT PUNKS INTERVIEWS THOMAS AND GUY-MANUEL BOTH HAVE STRONG FRENCH ACCENTS

[sirokai]

@gameglitcher7 "Something About Us" off "Discovery" also features both Thomas and Guy-Manuel on vocals. You can tell because their french accents are clear as day.

[Abner01234]

@sirokai ACTUALLY, The vocals on "Something About Us" is by Romanthony. Romanthony also sang on "One More Time". Figured I would let you know.

[sirokai]

@Abner01234 Sorry, that is FALSE! He sang on "One More Time" and "Too Long." It was Thomas & Guy-Manuel that sang on "Something About Us." Check the liner notes for vocal credits: discogs.com/Daft-Punk-Discover­y/release/425620

[sirokai]

@Abner01234 While we are on the topic, Thomas & Guy-man also sang on "Digital Love."

[Abner01234]

@gameglitcher7 Thomas sang for "What to Do", AND i'm pretty positive that his voice is in "Make Love". Thomas's accent isn't that strong anymore.

[N3H3C]

Love the 909 in the pic

[pharrellfan]

where can i get this downlaod

[samdaftpunk]

i think its great how the golden light shines off both of them on the picture :)

[billiswhite]

i dont know (8)

[gmertag]

gold man

[PecheRecords]

thomas is singing yeaha ^^ 5*

[Tyler11440]

is that crazy drumming a sample or can 909s easily do that?

[daftendirekt97]

the distorted kick is a 909 but the break beat drums are a sample, the closed high hat that comes in at around the middle is a LinnDrum. Not sure what machine is doing the clap, maybe a Linn

[migraine516]

I have this record. This shits a bitch to mix nicely. Great song tho.

[strictlyriddim]

watch?v=0N2E-mOeGa0

I mixed this over Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin" with Serato...

[TOUFLS1]

@migraine516 tighten up your skills

[migraine516]

They're tight. Really tight.  Perhaps we have different standards.

[TOUFLS1]

i'm just playing with you. it is a little difficult to mix, but like all records, you have to keep your ears open. some records also just don't go good together. thats the way it is. take kare

[strictlyriddim]

so damn tough...jungle house. listening to this makes me wanna flip out! Thomas Bangaulter is one of the best to ever do it! from a daft punk fan of 12 years!

[yodakevich]

i wonder where thomas got the " i don't know" sample from. that would be hilarious if it was actually him saying it

[samdaftpunk]

@yodakevich it was him saying it :D

i thought to myself , must be a sample but its him actually saying it. thats why he does the voices for most daft punk songs (if not all of them ) because hes been doing it since the 90s :) hope that helps

[Hobbyist56]

yeah like in around the world, oh yeah, and teachers

[samdaftpunk]

@Hobbyist56 thats right. and also in digital love , something about us (im 100 percent sure on both of them tracks) and definatley technologic because thats been proved but not sure about the others :P

[julianbinder123]

@samdaftpunk technologic's guy

emm

digital love was both, mostly Thomas

something about us is thomas fosh

[0Leadmeister0]

@julianbinder123 actually digital love is dj sneak. not thomas

[julianbinder123]

@0Leadmeister0 i meant the singing

the lyrics are by sneak

not the singing

[0Leadmeister0]

@julianbinder123 the singing is by him too

[julianbinder123]

@0Leadmeister0 no its not

he only wrote the lyrics

look it up

[gameglitcher7]

@0Leadmeister0 not its not

[samdaftpunk]

i see now that guy manuel is thr guy behind the amazong samples and thomas makes the sick beats

[disciple21781]

brings back memories!

[MclaughinRecords]

thomas's regular stuff is better than le knight club i think because it isn't just pointless sample loops

[MclaughinRecords]

i take that back its pretty similar. but some of le knight's songs stink

[miltonatchet]

naa you stink

i want to hear your music!

[bustagrooves]

i agree, crydamoure had a couple of gems but 90% was rubbish

[qaliqo]

Good rhythm track, I like Bangalter as well or better than Daft Punk.

@Albaztian: Haven't been to many events? You think only two guys do this style all proper? I could name a dozen producers with drum tracks of equal caliber, half a dozen just on Dance Mania.

[chicagostyleasshole]

so tough

[soundkind]

i love this old shit ^^ Thomas b is a smal 909 and mixing genius ^^

[MrMotionMan]

exquiset mixing :)

[Jungleros]

pure like hell

[Albaztian]

fucking great ,no melody,and its good,only thomas can do this.... and guy manuel

[kjah187]

@Albaztian listin to spastic by plastik man. that tune only has drums this tune has samples and drums.

[Albaztian]

@kjah187 but i bet some of your artist cannot even make a tune like this with more than simple drums

[kjah187]

@Albaztian you are kinda right not much artists can make tracks with just drums but if you listin to early 90's techno you'll find loads of tunes with no more than a 909 and a sampler, but most of these tunes have not stood the test of time. Plastik man aka richie hawtin is one best artist in the techno genre he was voted 2 best dj in the world you should check out more of his tunes if you like this kinda sound.

[deathmidi]

Revolution 909 !!!

[Odairodaca]

Boas lembranças  10...10...10

[71Unkown]

MY favorite producer :)

[butterflysuper12]

Is it me or is he gold? Gotta luv this! I call this fun music! I like music like this instead of what's on the radio now.

[SETHHIKARU]

@butterflysuper12 I know the music on the radio started sucking as soon as the 90s ended.

[butterflysuper12]

@SETHHIKARU That's what I think happened.

[conemen1]

@butterflysuper12  Guy-Manuel's got a gold arm in the background.

[TALOS103]

@conemen1 Foreshadowing... lol

[conemen1]

@TALOS103 lawl

[samdaftpunk]

amazing song :P that drum machine is the best ever TR 909 forever !

[samdaftpunk]

wow :P amazing , wonder if thomas still has tht drum machine ? imagine touching it ? it would make all my dreams come true

[snolan1990]

I'm going to pick up my own TR-909 later this week XD XD XD XD

[samdaftpunk]

@snolan1990 oh my gosh nice ! how much did you get it for ? and off ebay i guess ?

[Abner01234]

@snolan1990 I don't believe you. Pics or it didn't happen.

[daftendirekt97]

When I get my 909 I will have so much fun with it, all the copies suck. Im just sad cause I probably cant create any beats as sick as TBangs :)

[Braxmetal]

oh sure you can.  just feel it and make the people dance. use a good comppprrreeeesssssoooooorrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Braxmetal]

I still say that the 909 and the 808 are the best drum machines. straight up. I don't like the sound of any of the imitations.

[Scientist538]

626's are pretty dam good too! but yeh defiantly 808's and 909's FTW!

[zoniggboum]

why? what makes you think you could tell the difference if you had an original and an reproducer of the original?

it's pure nostalgia I think...

[pl0x321]

All we need is distorted 909 kick!

[thenameisjp]

thomas singing @ 2:21? omg!

[Tyler11440]

no its a sample

[thenameisjp]

listen to his voice in his interviews and then judge again. thanks. =]

[Tyler11440]

i dont hear a french accent but it sounds like he may have had the vocal recorded

[thenameisjp]

well you dont know french accents i guess... so, again, listen to him in the bbc and japanese interviews... its not that hard to connect his voice from that to this. =]

[Tyler11440]

im not saying it wasnt him, its just odd that he would sing in one of his own tracks...well i guess it wasnt singing lol but you know what i mean

[thenameisjp]

in the early days of roulé, i dont think they would dish out tons of money to hire a professional vocalist for a simple track... and id find it very humble to sing a small tune for a track youre making, so, i wouldnt put it passed thomas at all to do that.

[Tyler11440]

hes got a 909 :)

[TheElectricFlood]

remember the track revolution 909?^^ its about that machine

[TheDVNO]

THAT BEATS REMIND ME PHOENIX!!!!

[grebel007]

geile zeiten lang lang is her!!!dank dafür!!!!!

[Gothicscene]

I JIZZED TO THIS SONG!@#%1

[nixtc]

been searching this for ages ! i know luke slater used to play this allot end of the nineties but didn't know it was bangalter cheers man

[Kdragonlaser]

love this song yeeeeaaahhhh

[Dave23788]

yeah 100 percent 909 and the hihat is the same he used in one more time

[crapsle]

Does anyone know where was this photo taken?

It seems the festival Astropolis

[daftendirekt97]

I know it was one of Daft Punk's 1997 shows.

[fanatix84]

This is exiting

[felixbrix]

this is a really nice thing

guys i need the track id for this one:

watch?v=pP2zTMVy2F4 can anyone help?

thx so far

[elesegerardo]

i wish there was a club worthy of this music at my town.. =[

[vanillaoatmealmuff]

omg, tr 909. is that dj falcon in the pic with him?

[AcidDripp]

I think Guy-Man yo

[apocaalypso]

Yes it's Guy-Man

[alexdaftpunk91]

i think its gyman

[firegiallo]

yes he's guy manuel de homen-christol

[axaya123]

@alexdaftpunk91

yes guy man! Lumberjack style :)

[scip0131]

@vanillaoatmealmuff it's guy-manuel

[lukeee33]

Thats a sweet pic

[troysson81]

Drum 'n' Bass style at 0:14. :P

[vova200]

this song always sounds better inside a mix, but its definetly BANG ALTER

[daft2hans]

that`s a roland tr-909 awesome thats were come from revolution 909!

[MarcusHahnemann]

You're sooo right brah! They weren't many made at all, I hear. Kanye Wests new album is called 808 and something I think. First its HBFS he uses and now he uses a Roland in a song name/album?! Why can't he just leave Tommy and Daft Punk alone :'(

[ikol0ikol1]

OH GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP Daft punk said that they like Kanye west song so just ZIP IT

[SETHHIKARU]

That's a 909 you fucking retard and WTF does this have to do with rap music? Get your fucking genres straight or die.

[BLAZE45]

808 were used in hip hop way b4 kanye,such as outcast....but anyway,if he likes y not,lol

[ClickForOutkast]

It's Outkast not Outcast.

[retali8one]

whoa, droppin knowledge!!

[harshtradamus]

why did anybody thumbs down this?

[scip0131]

cause they're idiots

[Helgachen]

great song - i luv it

[blackman2101]

lol i love thomas bangalter's beats, but sometimes he gets a little repetative, this song is pretty cool for a house beat, but it still pushes the limit

for example: Together goes WAAAY over the limit =P

the ones w/out voice beat the ones with, and my fav is extra dry lol

[tomatmann2]

If you don't like house that are repetative, why do you listen?

[gegojr]

He's just making an observatino lol. House is very repetitive. We still love it though!

[owlwink]

its just to dance to,i mean,you can listen to it at home and relax,but its more designed for clubs and stuff.

[pipiduro]

I dont think it is repetitive... plus I hear the song alot of times and dont get tired of it.

[brooklynsgangstaK23]

1 out of 10 i give it a infinity

[badmouth50]

yo My friends I know thomas bangalter is one of the daft punk, i m just saying the sound you hear from the headbanger crew (surkin Feadz and affiliate) sound SO similar with this tracks.

And yes i hope for the fresh kid from Pedro's crew to have the same carreer as the daft punk

For u information "new french touch" is the controversive term journalist use for new french electro artist since 2 or 3 years ...

Keep it cool and xcuse my english i m french :_

[ralfoune]

Excuse moi mec j'suis;) j'avais mal compris le sens de ton post, j'suis francais aussi, j'me suis un peu chauffé ^^

je sais bien que new french touch c'est depuis 2-3 ans, c'est pour ça que je dis que thomas bangalter n'est pas dans la new french touch,

j'avais pas compris ton post je pensais que tu disais que thomas bangalter c'était de la new french touch et que tu ésperais qu'il irait aussi loin que daft punk, j'étais un peu révolté :)

désolé encore une fois

take care

[CBB2BD]

he sampled his own voice saying "I dunno what to do tonite"...

[butterflysuper12]

I like his voice ^.^

[pics1301]

no he didn't

[CBB2BD]

obviously you never heard his voice for real + I'm 100% certified sure ;)

[pics1301]

of course you are;)

[badmouth50]

it's seems so much like the stuff of the headbangers crew and affiliate.

New french touch... ?

Hope for them they will go as far as the daft punk

[ralfoune]

Dude, ur so ignorant...

Thomas Bangalter is one of the two members of Daft Punk! ur such a wanker...

He's one of the main artist of the French Touch... This track is from 1997 so NO it's not new French Touch

"Hope for them they will go as far as the daft punk" ... no comments

Please, don't post things like that in the future
