To set the record straight for some. Breakwater originally did this written by Kae Williams Jr. Daft punk sampled the song with Kae's permission and yes they are still paying to this day. I know because Kae is my brother. And yes the whole family appreciates Daft Puink bringing this this to the forefront years after the original was released.
I gotta say, Robot Rock was Daft Punk's darkest hour.
As a huge fan of them, I think they should have never released it, for two guys who normally wove their samples in beautifully, this was just copying and pasting.
Luckily, they made it better with their maximum overdrive remix and Alive 2007.
Although I give them props for creating an original riff at the start, that's a real fist-pounder.
@dysphoriatheband Yes, but that sample wasn't necessary to the song, it was a small addition that made it that little bit better, but if you took this out of Robot Rock, barely anything would be left.
It's usually pretty paradigm shifting when you are "singing" a song most of the day, then you go home, YouTube it only to find out that you were singing it wrong, and that the music you were singing is actually "sampled" from another song by some weird artist, but then the artist is usually not cool and/or respectable enough for you to care, so you just keep on singing wrong the song that you consider to be by the artist you first heard it from.
I love Daft Punk and knew they used plenty of samples but had no idea it'd be a literal lift. There is absolutely nothing original about DF's copy. This is kind of a big deal.
@cyberturban@AutoTerminator: I understand they're DJs and I don't love them any less for sampling but they did present the track as their own, on their own album. The tracklist doesn't say "Breakwater - Release the Beast (Daft Punk Edit)", it says "Daft Punk - Robot Rock. That's what I personally have a problem with.
@ac1dman They used a very "literal" sample, but considering they are completely different songs from different genres there is a vast difference in the song, even with the same sample. It's like saying all a singer's songs are the same because it's the same voice.
"considering they are completely different songs from different genres "
What the hell difference does THAT make? Daft Punk stole this, pure and simple.
I make music, and even though my stuff won't likely get heard by a vast audience, every note I come up with is MINE, which, in the end, makes me a better musician for that fact alone.
People need to understand that DJing is all about sampling songs, what do you think is on the vinyls on thier turntables? a fucking collection of beeps and drums? you need paint to paint a picture and you need disks to disk jockey.
@jacktennesee Daft Punk did a bit more than take a little sample from this for Robot Rock; they lifted the whole hook - and just looped it adding a little vocoder piece. It should have been nothing more than a bootleg re-edit as that's what there track is. I hope they gave 99.9% of the royalty to Breakwater. Very cheeky of them to put this out and palm it off as something original.
@artha5 That's nice but they still made money off the cover and that's the problem I have. If they were just doing a live cover version to pay homage, then I wouldn't care. Great musicians shouldn't need a legacy of covers and sample filled songs.
@clipsryan Well, i do understand what you are saying, but the thing is that most electronic music it's based from samples and things like that. Still at least they did gave credit to Breakwater and i think it kinds of put the band in the open. Many french house djs have taken samples from disco music (which i think is more creative and entertaining) instead of the same old beats most other djs usually use and that made those bands more known to the public, kind of a homage to that whole age
@tyrell65 I don't think Daft Punk ever made any sort of claim of originality... a lot of their stuff is sampled. Their album "Discovery" is called "Discovery" for a reason.
WOW I STILL CAN'T BELIVE THIS OMFG LISTEN IDIOTS THEESE GUYS DIDN'T RIP OFF DAFT PUNK DAFT PUNK JUST SAMPLED MANY ARTISTS SONGS AND THEY JUST HAPPEN TO SAMPLE THIS ONE FOR ROBOT ROCK GOD!!!!
Ok guys, relax. Daft Punk didn't steal the beat. They sampled it, added beats, took away beats, and made it their own song. And it's not like they didn't give Breakwater any credit! It says on the "Human After All" album and i quote, "Robot Rock contains a sample of "Release The Beast" performed by Breakwater®" Just enjoy both songs and be happy. :)
I agree Daft punk do little work on their Robot Rock track, but I would have never heard about this track if it wasn't for them, and I bet it is the same for alot of your people. Perhaps like this comment to appease the anger you have, and others shall realise Daft Punk helped them infact.
Salute to the O.G.s. These guys deserves their own masks hand-made by Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. And salute to Daft Punk for keeping this classic tune alive. That is all.
I think people need to give them credit for going back and listening to this good music and refreshing it by sampling it. If they didn't sample it most of the people that have viewed this video would never have come here and would never have heard the classic funk.
While I agree with people getting frustrated at those that don't understand the sampling scene, I can particularly understand the 'rip off' and 'copy' comments for this particular song for Daft Punk's sample source.
It's not that they sampled it, it's that they just took a fragment and looped it without, IMO, adding anything really exciting to it apart from the lyrics "Robot Rock" over the top, which were infrequent and quiet. Which is why I prefer this version.
It's funny how most of people consider sampling plagiarism when everything is actually paid for. Also, without sampling most modern electronic music would not exist. Hip Hop would also not exist. Stop saying stupid shit like "ripoff" "copy" "plagiarism", please educate yourselves. All credited and paid sampling is perfectly fine. TL;DR: Stop bitching about sampling
@ThekaiserXD but the effort it took for breakwater to produce this is far more than daft punk looping a sample and putting vocals and a simple guitar riff over it.
and who gets all the credit? i bet you 90% of the people who like daft punk have never even heard of breakwater
i used to idolise daft punk until realising all they do is sampling and looping
LOL. Yeah that's funny. I guess breakwater had a time machine in the 80's, came to the FUTURE, sampled Daft Punk, and then went back in time and made the song!! LOL. Wake up youngins. Most of your music is sampled from old music, but your too young to know it...
@theyoungmc There is nothing original about Daft Punk. They are DJ's not musicians. They don't "make" music which seems to be hard for a lot of people to understand, primarily newage fans who no nothing of older music. They consider what they heard first and are used to the best then put down on older vers.
You're giving them credit for what they did not do. They didn't ask for at that. Daft Punk stated that there music was sampled but there fanatic fans live in another plain of reality.
@krizzex I agree they sample a hell of a lot of their stuff, but the Tron Soundtrack does prove that they are capable of writing exceptional music as well.
but this song is identical to Daft Punk's Robot Roll , maybe these Breakwater guys are playing an uncredited cover because they're huge Daft Punk fans. Have you ever thought about that?
@theyoungmc No, as this song was made in 1980 as it says above. Daft Punk didn't become popular till after 2000...
The ignorance of some of these people...it truly makes me sad.
Daft took a single line of music from this then looped it over and over again while saying robot walk. This was an actual full song with lyrics made from scratch.
@krizzex Draft Punk's video looks pretty old to me, maybe it was done before 1980. I think these yellow boots guys should mention the original authors directly in the song's lyrics to avoid any incomprehension.
It could be something like this: PUNK! DAFT PUNK ROCK! nananananaaaa PUNK! DAFT PUNK ROCK! nananananaaa and so on.. what you think?
@Erhnam34 if youre reminiscing about the 80s after hearing daft punk...boy youd really hate the mainstream and robot rocks probably daft punks worst use of sampling
Daft Punk made their most boring single ever out of the sample from this tune. Not nearly enough variation. Daft Punk is not mediocre at all, but Robot Rock is.
Also if it's the habit of "gods" to sample a song and change FUCKING NOTHING ABOUT IT and re-release it, then we're all deities ourselves, because it's not godlike to steal.
@SnakeTheFox they do change stuff and they dont steal since they bought the samples and the thing they are doing is called sampling and is a very common thing
@GamleSeg Typically, when you "sample" a song you actually change something other than dubbing "robot rock" over it at certain intervals. What they did was steal. Not legally, because they threw money at the problem, but musically it's theft. They added nothing to this song, and honestly just dumbed it down by dubbing over all the lyrics. Daft Punk is a mediocre group adored solely by people with very poor taste in electronic music, deal with it.
@SnakeTheFox faggot. daft punk took a small part of the song and ive tried sampling this to make robot rock and its not easy. they literally changed small details of the song. they looped it, and edited in their own way. so shut the fuck up. you know nothing of house music. and dont ever diss daft punk.
@Flashtheman2 You're kidding right? They took the guitar, changed nothing, looped it infinitely, and dubbed "robot rock" over it. That's. Fucking. It. They're just pretentious French hacks who made mediocre-to-garbage electronic music. They fucking suck, and your tastes are juvenile and insipid.
@SnakeTheFox They didn't change much on the surface, & they do pretty much repeat that riff and the two chords in the intro. BUT! To say that they changed nothing is incorrect. DP's production skills are as good as it gets, tons of artists try very hard and fail to have the same flavor of harmonic distortion and compression. I agree, this is hardly writing music, but to say that they're mediocre ignorant. In the world of house music, where sampling is the name of the game, they rule the roost.
White men making money off black men labor... typical.

I´m sure this version is younger and they sampled Daft Punk´s Robot Rock *g*
No honestly I don`t care about that, I really like both versions and today there are a lot of DJs remixing songs. So why it is wrong to sample them?

I always knew Daft Punk used samples from this song for Robot Rock, but now I know to what extent. Kinda sad.

All this bickering, like incessant bantering from preschoolers saying "Nu-uh" and "Yu-huh." STFU.

@baronvonbrunker maybe you mean ROBO ROCK (read "ROBO" and not ROBOT, in Spanish, "robo" means theft) xD

I don't see how anyone could prefer Robot Rock. At least this song has some variety to it.

Daft Punk made their most boring single ever out of the sample from this tune. Not nearly enough variation. Daft Punk is not mediocre at all, but Robot Rock is.

Also if it's the habit of "gods" to sample a song and change FUCKING NOTHING ABOUT IT and re-release it, then we're all deities ourselves, because it's not godlike to steal.

@SnakeTheFox they do change stuff and they dont steal since they bought the samples and the thing they are doing is called sampling and is a very common thing

@GamleSeg Typically, when you "sample" a song you actually change something other than dubbing "robot rock" over it at certain intervals. What they did was steal. Not legally, because they threw money at the problem, but musically it's theft. They added nothing to this song, and honestly just dumbed it down by dubbing over all the lyrics. Daft Punk is a mediocre group adored solely by people with very poor taste in electronic music, deal with it.
SnakeTheFox 6 months ago
@SnakeTheFox faggot. daft punk took a small part of the song and ive tried sampling this to make robot rock and its not easy. they literally changed small details of the song. they looped it, and edited in their own way. so shut the fuck up. you know nothing of house music. and dont ever diss daft punk.
Flashtheman2 6 months ago
@Flashtheman2 You're kidding right? They took the guitar, changed nothing, looped it infinitely, and dubbed "robot rock" over it. That's. Fucking. It. They're just pretentious French hacks who made mediocre-to-garbage electronic music. They fucking suck, and your tastes are juvenile and insipid.
SnakeTheFox 6 months ago
@SnakeTheFox They didn't change much on the surface, & they do pretty much repeat that riff and the two chords in the intro. BUT! To say that they changed nothing is incorrect. DP's production skills are as good as it gets, tons of artists try very hard and fail to have the same flavor of harmonic distortion and compression. I agree, this is hardly writing music, but to say that they're mediocre ignorant. In the world of house music, where sampling is the name of the game, they rule the roost.
