Daft Punk High Life Sample:
• Daft Punk's High Life ...
Today, I will be going over Daft Punk, the French house electronic duo consisting of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, and their second studio album Discovery. They created the album Homework before and Discovery was the next step. The album having the singles One More Time and Harder Better Faster Stronger, among others. Something About Us even having a music video. After a long science, the robots have abruptly decided to finish the robot journey with their retirement in a video titled "Epilogue". Random Access Memories was a great album as well. Daft Punk really had an amazing run with full albums and weird music video. This was a interesting one.
I do a lot of Daft Punk Instrumental AND hip hop Instrumentals, but this time I'm doing a music breakdown / discussion of sorts on Discovery: Daft Punk's Fresh Pop Odyssey
If this video does well to me, I can continue this.
Not review, video essay, music video, playlist, or anything like that. An onlysmallbites original video. This is more of a vlog / talk video with nice drawings / art

Another cool little secret for you guys:
Veridis Quo = Very Disco
Discovery = Very Disco spelled backward
Highlife is an example of *perfect* sampling. Chopped up and woven so seamlessly, you'd think it's a new song entirely. Not just lowered or raised an octave.
Discovering discovery. This is a good idea.
Just to make the sampling even crazier, they did this back in 2000. Its probably 10 times easier now in DAW. They must have an insane ear for what would make up a catchy tune.
Logic was around back then. In fact, they had access to MicroLogic (back when it was made/operated by Emagic) on a Mac.
Of course, DAWs back then were in their infancy, and would not have had the tools nor the power they do today.
Daft Punk ran their samples from vinyl to their EMU SP-1200, and then from that they would pitch up or down, and because the 1200 is utyer crap (in a good way) it always imparted an awesome toyish crunch to the sound (samplerate of like 32KHz, and bit-depth of 8 or 10, if you're into the specs) and then into their Akai sequencer where they manually arranged the samples, and then into the Mac to arrange the beats from their drum machines and sync them to the track, then they'd run the audio back out to their Mackie mixer.
It's amazing how they did it back in the day
@@mgmg116 Awesome explanation!
I love how primitive equipment can restrict a musician's expression, but also end up enhancing their work with elements they may not have even thought of otherwise
DAWs existed back then dude.
but yea they were very limited, thats where real equipment comes in, and they had these too.
Wow! What a process in the bedroom, and the result is still holding up today@@mgmg116
i had a feeling he would make this video.
lol me too. Consider it a bonus, unless the homework one comes, then it's *double bonus*.
@@onlysmallbites Double Bonus it is
Fun fact: You uploaded this on Discovery's 20th anniversary!
If you ever want to know how legendary Daft Punk were at sampling, listen to their song High Fidelity from their Homework album and look up vids breaking down their sampling of that song. It’s insanely creative and complicated
And Face to Face, after 20 years people are still looking for the samples used in the song.
Somebody actually talks about interstella 5555 in 2021, this earned you a sub and great respect
they showed it at a movie theatre in my town recently :)
Discovery turned 20 years old yesterday ): I was really hoping for one last thing ):
I love the fact, that where Homework was the homage to the house scene, the Discovery went a step forward being homage to their musical roots and childhood
Next up: *_Human After All: The WEIRDEST Album Daft Punk's EVER MADE_*
An amazing album
Is the backbone of Alive 2007 it was made for that belong to my opinion , it shoul have more time(6 weeks only) to developing further the songs , it would have been a dark techno masterpiece
I think its the best
your wish came TRUE! INLUDING THE TITLE
@@fortyseven1476 an amazingly bad album that was purposely being bad
you could say, they *discovered* unknown songs
you could also say its "very-disco".
Or they wanted the young generation to discover very disco sounding songs like Veridis Quo.
this album makes me wanna play it one more time
The fact that this video has a 1/3 view to like ratio shows true quality
*_discovery based pun_*
edit: well bruh, that was fast, lol. Guess I'll start doing my homework. Thanks for liking everyone!
Was that a pun inside a pun...
@Trooper yeah but the Teachers didn’t accept it.
I think he finished his homework now
In my opinion, it was *Too Long* before someone commented a discovery pun
@@ZuhebusMaximus I'm trying to make up a pun, but I can't...
Guess that's what makes me Human After All-
..I'm so bad at this-
great content, keep it up!
Sampling is an art in itself, they are so good at it
Thank yuh! And for sure. Sampling when done right is a talent for sure. People really underestimate the work that goes into chopping something up. Even when its simple, it can still be smart.
We STILL don't know all the samples in Face to Face. There are currently 11 songs confirmed to have been chopped up and arranged, but there are still two mystery songs... 20 years later
Give this to the Minecraft technical community those guys have the brains to take a .png image and find an actual seed based off random clouds and shit, they can trace the song
There is still a couple samples on Face To Face which are unknown, and these little bits might be bits they added themselves, although they really feel like something that was sampled. Oh well. To be a fly on the wall in the studio when they made this, to see how they did it all would be amazing.
I listen to discovery when it came out & doing my own mixing, it only take a sec or 2 of a piece of music & you can mix it to your own music!!!! Thanks to sharing those samples. Discovery to this day is on of my favorite album then Human After All then R.A.M. & Homework.
I was hoping they would give us on more alive tour 2017 but when that didnt happen I felt a change. I felt it was to R.A.M. being so big main stream & all the attention they got & it overwhelmed them. As you can see they rarely showed there faces, so that showed they weren't in it for a popularity contest. Which I believe gave them there musical talent used to the fullest!!
i agree 100% on this.
Nice! Didn’t know that about the samples
Just finished watching Intastella 555, and I cried so bad...one of my favorite films now.
This was actually the first Daft Punk album I ever listened to!
I really like your content bro, I think you have lots of potential!
thanks, that's really appreciated! Got a fav daft punk song, if any?
@@onlysmallbites Face to Face
I honestly never knew the Discovery album was used for the interstella 5555 movie until a few years ago just from browsing the internet, and I watched it and I enjoyed it. Also never knew they sampled such old songs for their music until now, it sounds cool. The more I think about it they could’ve maybe collaborated with the band Gorillaz and I would’ve loved to hear how their genres would mix honestly since nowadays Gorillaz has been collaborating with lots of musicians. Guess that’ll never happen now.
I'm hearing word that they may be dabbling in solo stuff, but it's all rumor at this point, so who knows. A Gorillaz collab would definitely be interesting for sure.
@@onlysmallbites Thomas Bangalter has always been a badass in the studio. He’s collaborated with many other dj’s and producers in the past. Stardust is a classic example. If he’s working on getting some bangers out in the future I’m all for it.
Discovering Discovery with some of that jet-set radio funk in the background!? Loving it!
This video made me smile so much, and let me tell you (while you're still small enough to read comments) you are loved and appreciated! I know you're headed for big things! ☺️
Well thanks a bunch! I think ill be able to read em for a bit, just if youtube loves or hates me that day, lol. But thanks a lot for this, really made my day :D.
@@onlysmallbites You're so welcome! 😊
How does he only have 7 hundred subs I subscribed due to him being underrated
Also, I'm dissapointed you decided to leave out Face To Face. Samples have continued to be discovered as recently as a year ago!
Yeah me too, but it was more due to time cause there's just so much with that song. And that's hella awesome new samples are coming out, do you know which ones?
Over 100 samples lol
@@dftunk Todd Edward's speciality.
and... they recently just discovered a new one lol
I'm loving the Fuzion Frenzy music in the background!
Dude I love your videos, keep up the good work bro.
I loved this video, definitely subscribing. Nice job man
That Guardian revue though. Don't sweat it. It's not worth wiping your arse with. It's the Daily mail for the left.
Im here at the start of something great. Keep it up man!
this is such a great analysis, especially the sample part of the vid. the samples are just so great and get me so excited each time i learn about them. ill be waiting for the homework vid :]
I'm so glad I found this dude. Such a good content creator.
Great video. First time watcher. Thoroughly enjoyed!
It wasn't the sampler which has exploded on 9.9.99 @ 9:09, it was their TR-909 Drum Machine, that they payed tribute to on Revolution 909
this channel is sooo underated. keep up the good works
Love your videos bro!
This video is amazing, you just earned a new subscriber!
I knew a few of their song before but once I heard they “broke up” I now have to go back and listen to their discography
Listen to Alive 2007!
WHY HAVEN'T I WATCHED THIS YET?? I even got the notifications on yet I randomly found it on my recommendations and I feel so ashamed for not seeing it yet cuz this a MASTERPIECE 👌😩
I hope you get the recognition you deserve. Keep up the great work 🤖
I don't understand, if people took way too many time to find High Life's sample, does it mean that Daft Punk took the sample without crediting the original artist ? Otherwise, keep doing what you're doing, your narration is really smooth and your editing is top tier
thanks for doing what you do and sharing your thoughts/perspective/creativity with us!
: )
Jeeez your videos are so good and professional just like any of these types of big youtubers. You definitely deserve more subs and I'll be one of them.
These vids are nice. Discovering 70s and 80s music from Daft Punk's Discovery samples was a nice discovery.
Please make a Homework sample video, i beg lol. Its my favorite album Daft Punk have made and ur style of video is very engaging! Keep it up!
0 dislike im proud of you
Woah, this is some good content! Looking forward for more great content from you! :D
the sampling of discovery is so amazing. what a great album overall.
Totally, you have a fav song on there?
I'm happy that Daft Punk makes good music and are just being themselves.
Me too, they really know how to bless my ears. Fav daft punk song on here, or in general?
great channel man
You seem like you put so much effort in these vids. Can’t wait to see u grow :)
This video was amazing! Please make a video on Homework!
No mention to Face To Face? Damn! That’s the best example of the art of sampling...
Just found out about your channel through your daft punk videos. I really like your vibe, keep up with the good stuff!
I have never seen a video with no dislikes! Good job! And very interesting info! Thanks.
Hope your channel blows up soon 🙏🏻 Quality content!
I've been Daft Punk fan since I was 10, but I had never thought of searching into sampling so this was very interesting. Instant Sub.
Departure of Daft Punk has become the beginning of this channel (sort of)
Such an underrated channel!
I’d enjoy watching a video on homework as this video was so good, new subscriber
Not here to say anything too important, but I’m really glad to see that your channel is growing!
Daft punk AND Jet Set Radio music? Already subbed
U forgot about Fusion Frenzyyyyyyy!
@Ramez Rifai I never played that sorry lmao
on the topic of sampling, I view it the same way I view remixing. A good sampling transforms the original samples to something different, while bad sampling ends up being the old song reposted. Even then, something like The Prodigy's 'Stand Up' is basically made from a single riff in Manfred Mann's 'One Way Glass' (from around 34 second mark). But it transforms it almost completely, from being just a nice tune to something you listen to in the morning to pump yourself up to actually do something.
Thats a real good way to look at it. Comparing it to remixing, you can do a bad remix job also, that happens. Actually transforming it to mean/come off as something else is hard work, which most people don't fully understand and you gotta make it sound good?! I agree with this right here. Any other cool sampling come to mind?
@@onlysmallbites well, prodigy made their career from sampling really, I don't really pay much attention myself to figuring out what is sampled and what is not. Because that's another thing about sampling, great sampling doesn't even make you think "was this sampled from another song?". But, just as anyone can make uninspired pop music (riding on recent trends), sampling can be done badly. Yes, inherently it does re use someone else's work, but we do give youtubers a pass on this reuploading this stuff anyways. So I don't see why actual transformative media is bad.
good stuff man :)
Discovery is their Magnum Opus
I want to see what you do next cuz you hit 1k Congrats
would love to see a vid about the roule and crydamoure labels thomas and guy-man ran around the time before discovery! all your daft punk videos have been great so far!
I know you probably won't read this but I've been here ever since your daft punks videos I saw you grow and I just want to congratulate you man I can't belive you grew from 4k subs to 180k wow.
as he was talking about one more time one more time played on the radio
Yeah!
Great video
Ngl, I genuinely thought you had maybe 50-100k subs, but you’ve got huge potential! :)
You can't hide that Fusion Frenzy music in the background near the end, I caught you!
nice video bro
This is pog
Im just gonna say it one more time is my favorite daft punk song that freaking sample is so freaking catchy
Like the style of the video
This man desrvese more subs so much so I actually thought he was at 2k before watching this due to the quality of the videos
*uses jet set radio soundtrack in video*
Ah, a man of culture I see
Dude i just found the original Discovery vinyl from April 2001 at walmart for 17$!!!! Thought I'd share with my fellow Daft Punk fans!
Jealous!
@@judohunter1 I saw a lady pick it up and read the back like she was gonna buy it but she put it down! Needless to say it took me 0.Nothing seconds to get it!
cool!!!
Early gang!
Nice video.
This channel blew up ..... Good-
Love the album. Of course I love all their albums
I like the fuzion frenzy music in the background lmao
Yup this video dove me more into my childhood when it came on 😅
High Life is one of my all time favourites and well, most of the discovery album as well :)
damn bro youve gained a good amount of subscribers since last week. Congrats
Thanks, it really is cool to see. I guess a long time, electro duo quitting music will do that to you.
You're so good! First 900 followers before you hit 1k heheeh
7:58 if you put the speed at 1.25x, it results in his final product being to the speed of High Life!
800+ subscribers almost there!!!!
"Does androids dream of electric speeps? ...no they dreams of Discovery".
The you think about it. Daff Punk single handedly change and aspire new genre of music. With all the sampling. Remember synthwave and futurefunk ( I relate to those two since their pretty close with sampling , especially old 70s 80s song.) And of course the EDM we knew today. ( Yes EDM have a lot of subgenre )
good vid 10/10
Remix albums are always going to be "weird" as the originating artist usually reaches out to the artists who collaborate and submit their works individually. If there is enough demand, they will compile them on a remix album. It is by no means a traditional studio album. The Discovery remix album, called Daft Club, was released in 2003. However the songs themselves were made available individually once a month as a free download if you registered the card that came with the original studio release of Discovery for the 2 years preceding the release of Daft Club
I like the passport.mid playing in the background
I was in aww when I saw the High Life sample mixing.
Right?! It's actually stupidly awesome, I love it. Have any fav daft songs?
@@onlysmallbites Damn I have so many, I like all the songs on the Homework album (including Rollin' and Scratchin' and Rock n' Roll) with Discovery I like Digital Love, One More Time, Voyager and High Life still the others are bangers and also the entirety of RAM. I bought all of these in lossless audio formats because it is a completely different experience listening them that way.
nice video! you have future
