The genius of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem Christo. Unbelievably people find out they sample and feel less of them, when in reality.. this is just mind blowing. The pure talent and creativity to be able to find these tiny segments of forgotten songs and turn them into what they have, just unreal.
Of course having high skills is very respectable but the most important in music and arts in general is the emotion you feel and want convey, which is not given to anyone… All their songs are made sampling, and they're all worldwide hits which makes Daft Punk some of the greatest artists _Around The World_ and people not ok with sampling would say they're "purists" but if their music is better with their technique then why won't they share it or why aren't they famous yet ?
Shows how genius they are. I knew they used samples from the begining, and that didn't stop me from loving them. It takes alot of (musical) imagination, creativity, and a good ear. They're work is so clean that you can barely hear the sample they used :o
This is incredible, Daft Punk gave credit to all of the samples they used on the back of the physical releases, but they didn't give one for High Life. This is undeniably real!
4:15 - 4:56 A combo of this with the original song at the beginning, and high life played slow , then just the baseline, like that is just amazing and it sounds perfect. I’d love to hear a remix of all that combined. I keep watching this video just to hear that few seconds.
Did Daft Punk just get a bunch of old random flops (not that I think they're bad, mind you) and told themselves "Alright. Turn it into something brand new. Make it work."
Thomas' father is somewhat involved in the french music industry and owns a lot of royalties to some songs. So Thomas also gains these royalties and used them as samples
Thank you for your 11 year old video upload. A fantastic snapshot into Daft Punk’s skills, love that I’ve discovered this in 2021. Unfortunately we heard some recent news regarding Daft Punk, but the robots will live on in our hearts ♥️
Thank you for all this "investigative" work! It means a lot! I kinda feel I've lost a lot of love ever since I found out they didnt want to credit back the songs they sampled...not sure what that's about.
NemesisAnother Some songs aren't credited in case of "interpolation", i.e. when you can't receive a sample clearance from original publisher, a trivial (non-copyrightable) number of notes or sounds were re-created all anew and that was used as a substitute. While it would be ethical to cite sources of inspiration, that would open them up to a potential lawsuit, which is why "interpolation" sources are no longer ever credited by anybody. It's also possible that no "interpolation" took place but actual sampling, however clearance couldn't be obtained (rights owner couldn't be found or has refused) and thus no credit, so they can claim "interpolation" has taken place. Where sample clearance took place, the original creators are credited, as required. That's the crazy world we live in today where crediting isn't driven by ethics, but by law which was intended well, but evolved into a monstrosity.
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!
I watch this and think Daft punk did it so easy, but then I remember the way the sample is so special and holds a place in my childhood and to recreate is insulting, except in videos like this because they do it for the knowledge, and its fun solving Daft punk mysteries, that is why we watch these videos.

You became some kind of legend on RUclips 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
Man The fact about High life sample was discovered just 11 years ago and Still found new samples (a girl found The da funk's hit sample: ruclips.net/video/lDj5Ax8sVE0/видео.html) Keeps me thinking about how many years Will be passed until a new sample found out

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.
Sampling really shouldn't be frowned upon as long as you be as creative as possible...and I think you are being most creative when people can't tell what you are sampling
I think discovering the original source is pure talent. I wouldn't have figured out even if I listening to this song 10 times. Props to you and everyone involved in this discovery.
it may be hard to believe, but I think the reason they didn't credit it, was because they actually re-created the sample for use on their album. They probably went through this process till they found the samples...and then re-created it. to match identically. You can tell the version on discovery just sounds so much better than the original studio recording fidelity/stereo spread.
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.
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.
Now I am definitely convinced. Amazing Daft Punk for making such a great song like this, amazing people who discovered the sample and amazing you for explaining it so clearly.
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.
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 ;)
The perfect follup up video after seeing this one is the reconstruction of Mobb Deep - Shook Ones pt.2. Those are not examples of genious, but on 'higher plain of existence' level.
They're DJ's before they're producers. They take things that they hear and like and put their on spin on it. It makes perfect sense considering that they're DJ's. Consider these songs just really elaborate remixes...
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.
For someone, perhaps, who would like to sample this on Tavares - Break Down For Love (total 4:31) you will find, in this video, here, mentioned samples at around 0:35, 1:17, 1:33 and at about 1:38 minute. Now, do sample a lot, kids. Don't you know, and hey, listen. Listen. I remember, a long time ago, manny decades in fact, all that shit. A legendary master wizard, senior sonic swordsmith, a sensei and sonic guru/demigod, told me, when I expressed my gratitude and phrases some really epic rap album he recorded for now long gone rapper that was a huge, huge mastonova superstar in the 90, don't you know. He said to me that everything on that album, except some bass tracks and almost all vocals, obviously, were sampled from lps. That he and this rapper dude first sat down for a month with piles of their favourite LPs and carefully recorded a whole ocean of quality samples through all the mighty old pre-digital studio systems and channels. They would then use antique filters on ARP Odyssey, Roland Jupiters and Junos on this samples. it was the best, all done by hand. And this was a serious facility, the value of all those machines in that exquizit soundworks power factory today is enormous, stupendous and beyond belief. The studio, it still operates to this day. It's now cooperating in fact on the highest levels, with echelons in agencies like nasa, private mastodon tycoon magnates of the car industry from the north of europe. It is only degrees away, in my opinion, from setting off into the fantastic, never before seen outer pockets across intergalactical vast wonderlands of deep space, beyond, perhaps, even the very borders on the edge of our boldest imagination. All the way to the end of spectrum, don't you know, the spirit realms itself. The sphere, where we all converged before and will again, ...and again, to unite/dissipate for the eternity. One love!

Agreed, it is pure genius
If you can create songs that sound as good, if not better, than their original, then that is 🤌
The prodigy have also been doing things like this for almost 3 years longer than daft punk and they are amazing at it too

+TrippinDrago They also didn't credit Aerodynamic
@AuralFiendOfficial They have to deny them or they will pay through the nose
@AuralFiendOfficial haven’t read the interview where they denied the samples in a while but if i remember correctly it was them talking about voyager.
Enjoy the resurgence of this video man!
Aaaaaaye
Fucking hell, Daft Punk are talented as fuck....they have a really good ear for music.
Sir, you’re.. Gonna wanna sit down..
@@guillaume774 hahahaha
After 11 years this is still gold
Amen
Your face is still gold.
If you DJ at a place, you should play the song sampled in High Life and then go into Daft Punk's version with the way you did it.
Tyrant Gaming I would kill to be there to hear that
Instant fireworks !
I will :)

Same for me
Far from perfect? LOL, it's bassically the same result!! Just some hi-pass filtering and you got the intro as it is! Awesome.
yo that recreation at the slower pitch was dope
Holy smack! When it takes 9 years for the world to find out what you sampled, you know you´ve made a good job. Thomas and Guy-Man in my heart forever.
Did Daft Punk just get a bunch of old random flops (not that I think they're bad, mind you) and told themselves "Alright. Turn it into something brand new. Make it work."
Thomas' father is somewhat involved in the french music industry and owns a lot of royalties to some songs. So Thomas also gains these royalties and used them as samples
@ yeah Thomas Bangalters father
Sampling is so cool.....
Wow! What a discovery!
is that a pun?
iBalls yes i think it is
Niko Koloseus I think the album name is just this in reverse
+Thekinggamelon One of their worst albums.
and it's very disco! ^^

Incredible to get this recommended and see all the topcomments as being 5, 6, 7 years old... I will leave them ignorant of the news
How the fuck did they ever had the idea of picking 4 small pieces of one obscure song and create a whole new song based on that? This is awesome stuff

+Anthony grant Your probably right, a lot of bands nowadays do this in order to avoid legal complications.

It amazes me the things you can do with music.
More samples have been identified as follows:
Fresh - If You Leave Me Now by Viola Wills
Phoenix - Don't Go Breaking My Heart by Elton John
Everybody should thank Love & Mind (Pecherecords) for finding this.
Trying this now...ive always wondered what song this was sampling thanks a lot
Hold on, wait a minute.. HA! Yeah I DO hear it now. Never heard that before... HA!

Brian, that was amazing! Daft punk used a lot of old disco samples on their "Discovery" album. Go album to dance to.
Very Disco. 😉
This sample stands for the "yang" when robot rock stands for the "ying" in terms of creativity
ying is actually the bad part, high life is supposed to be yang
@@edrollagigraioe3391 thx

kids got it right - no scratch glitch dub-wub will ever overwhelm Groove and Melody
So many years later, I finally see this video. And it is good. Hello fellow sample spotters...
What software r u using for this, also, I think there is another sample in the song at "we're just people *bein'* people"
Some are, Edwin Birdsong is credited as a composer for Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger for his song Cola Bottle Baby
I can't believe they finally found it!
The perfect follup up video after seeing this one is the reconstruction of Mobb Deep - Shook Ones pt.2. Those are not examples of genious, but on 'higher plain of existence' level.
