Discovered - Make "One More Time" from "More Spell On You"

[@jazzygeofferz]

If you rerecord a song to use in your work it doesn't strictly need crediting as a sample. They may not have sampled the Eddie Johns record itself, merely recorded the elements they needed to get the sound they wanted. Happens a lot in hip hop.

[@fucker661]

Geoffrey Walsh no you have to give credit unless it's so distorted you can't tell who it is.

[@kendaocripto]

@Koveryl the original music is from his father

[@vxidwvlkxr]

I see it, I see it. But I think this was quite creative, how Daft Punk did this, and it was more-or-less flying under the radar, until MORE clever people caught onto this. Daft Punk did a great job on the song.

[@briansredd]

If you listen really close, you can hear the guitar in the background of both DP and this chop as well.

[@ryansupak3639]

Pretty sure they sampled it into an Emu SP-1200 (really cool vintage sampler) which gives it that "sparkly" sound when you use it a certain way. Both the original and the Daft Punk songs are fantastic in my opinion. :)

[@ellaskins]

interesting!

[@djcytrixx2787]

Man now this is going to the light and I’m so surprised, I try it to do it on my pioneer and it’s real🔥

[@briansredd]

Hey I never said I didn't appreciate it! I love Daft Punk! Just showing where I found the samples :)

[@arnaudchicher138]

I have a good new info for you : the guy who record this song was Daniel Vangarde, also known as .... Daniel Bangalter, father of ... Thomas Bangalter !! One of the Daft Punk. Sure this disc was among their collection of vynils.

[@mike50591]

only a rumor and nowhere ever proven. not saying they didnt sample this, but that story has never come to fruition

[@briansredd]

Oh yeah, I absolutely love Daft Punk!

[@Studentofgosset]

Apparantly Bangalter's father produced "More Spell on You".

[@digital_fairy]

Studentofgosset wow

[@mike50591]

only a rumor and nowhere ever proven. not saying they didnt sample this, but that story has never come to fruition

[@briansredd]

OK... we did an Orgins video on this a year ago. The Sugar Hill Gang did NOT sample Good Times for Rappers Delight. They had the Sugar Hill Studio Band play Good Times note for note. Remember, We're talking about 1979 here. Samplers were a few years later and when they came around, they were only 8 Bit. Having said this, I'm thinking DP did something VERY similar to what SHG did.. replayed the bass line note for note from Good Times.

[@briansredd]

I think the programs just count bass hits to calculate BPM. It's not a number listed in the tags. You can rip vinyl and still get a pretty accurate BPM reading in Mixmeister

[@briansredd]

So, you'd like me to make a new video to bring the pitch down for you? The pitch and the key was a guess in mixmeister because the program does not automaticaly adjust key with pitch bends. I have, however burned this to a CD and actually done a phase with the DP song. Seems the overall song pitch bend is around 127 where the samples all by themselves is roughly 122-123 bpm

[@EqBeatz]

high life sampled Tavares's "Break Down for Love" and they appear in Sample appears at: 0:31, 0:36, 1:17, 1:34 and 1:38 for that record

[@CosmicScribe1]

Am I the only one who is literally giddy when he puts the samples together to recreate DP? It's magical.

[@alexdaftpunk91]

In the beginning this guy says that he listened to Discovered and he couldn't find the samples of Around The World and Da Funk. Many months ago I heard the song supposed to contain the Around the World sample, it's called 'Jerry Goldsmith The Rec Room' and it doesn't cointain any sample of Around the World!

[@briansredd]

Yeah I think there is probably more advanced software out there that allows A-B trims, slices, etc that would be best to create what we're attempting to create here.

[@briansredd]

yeah I have. IT sounds like some kind of Chic produced track. Most of the stuff they used in Discovery was 70's/80's music so that would make sense. Can't sort that one out for anything. Thougth it was a sister sledge track but can't find one that sounds like that.

[@briansredd]

Yeah I kinda figured that judging from the lack of info. I think the jury is still out on weather some of these are actually used or not.

[@briansredd]

I think you are right about Da Funk. There was a remix somewhere that used Tata Vega. It sounds like the same synths were used in Rec Room & Around The World. I suppose they could have sampled a note and played it on a keyboard. Who knows. We just keep trying. I think Face to Face uses a sample in Evil Woman that's played as a chord (they use straight samples as well).

[@jonhartley7445]

The ultimate irony would be this version being hit on copyright by daft punk's label after them having denied ever using it.

[@diegocazz8014]

You didn’t find the video, the video found you

[@senohscrew]

For more information about the original track Eddie Johns - More Spell On You , was writen by Daniel Vangarde aka Daniel Bangalter the father of Thomas Bangalter from Daft Punk

[@Zawmbbeh]

Idea! High Fidelity, Daft Punk Song used: Just The Way You Are, Billy Joel Pweease?

[@briansredd]

I did take some creative liberties. The reason I did is because I've done more than one video on this song before. Last time around, I played it pretty straight.

[@briansredd]

I think they use the next note in Evil Woman (after the samples I posted) but they play it as a chord on a keyboard. Maybe one of these days when I sort out Ableton & my M-Audio keyboard, we can test my theory on that.

[@HolyDiverII757]

The Tata Vega sample is used in the "10 Minutes of Funk" remix of Da Funk by Armand Van Helden. Daft Punk also used the sample in their live version of Da Funk in the Daft Punk Alive 1997 recording

[@theultimateusukfan]

I watched your videos back in the day. I love watching these again! brings back good memories

[@TomPhoolery]

They don't need to declare that they're using a sample or license it because it's less than 7 seconds. In fact, the samples they used are not only less than a second each, but they're AUTOTUNED to different pitches. So yes, Daft Punk samples from Eddie Johns. But they do more to change the sample than actually just using it to compose an entire track. In fact, it's more like playing the sample as a musician rather than using it as a backdrop for the rest of the composition.

[@briansredd]

Check your booklet again. If yours says something mine dosen't, then tell me what sample they used for High Life

[@briansredd]

To release a song containing samples in the USA, an artist must pay some type of royalty for every track sampled. The only acceptions to this would be public domain music or if the artist already owns the publishing rights to the sampled material. Do they HAVE to credit? Apparently not. Do I care? No. I could care less about such things. The only thing I know for sure is that the sampled material shown in this video was not publicly credited anywhere by Daft Punk.

[@briansredd]

That's very possible. I think most people are leaning twards Diana Ross, but we're not sure of the track yet

[@briansredd]

You have to pay royalties, but I'm not sure that recognition is required. The thing about DP is that they are rather avante guard artists. My guess is that they didn't give "props" so that people like us could put the pieces together 7 or 8 years later AFTER the song was released. After all, the album IS called DISCOVERY

[@nodlezfodlez]

is that vinyl record in stereo? the only mp3s i can find of "more spell on you" are in mono and bad quality.

[@briansredd]

Yeah, I've seen that one listed on several websites

[@briansredd]

oops, I made an error here. Strawberry Letter 23 sounds like its' in "Something About US", not Voyager. The one I keep hearing may be in Voyager is "Get Down Saturday Night"

[@rdknegt]

A Lil Headstart in 2 Reply's :) Breakwater - Release The Beast used in Robot Rock E. Birdsong - Cola Bottle Baby used in Harder Better Faster Stronger The Imperials - Can You Imagine used in Crescendolls E.Johns - More Spell On You used in One More Time G.Duke - I Love You More used in Digital Love O.Cheatham - Get Down Saturday Night used in Voyager T.Vega - get It Up For Love used in Da Funk J.Goldsmith - The Rec Room used in Around The World

[@shokre312]

You know, someone hinted that it was a popular disco song, so you are onto something here.

[@himitsunoryu]

I heard somewhere that they used "it's my house" by "Donna Summer". I looked all over the internet for that tune, but I absolutely could not find it. I am looking for songs with similar names at this point. They could have just recorded their voice and made the pitch higher or maybe they had a girl sing those sounds with longer notes then took out peices for a "cut-off" effect. But I still think they sampled something.

[@briansredd]

So you are saying this isn't the sample? I did a video that I posted as a response to this one where I take a loop from the source material (more spell on you) and actually catch a PHASE or JET off One More Time on deck 2. You can't phase anything that isn't identical

[@briansredd]

You know, I'm not sure. I assumed it was stereo but could be wrong. How about the version found on the Discovered CD? Is it Mono as well?

[@Kelavmeister]

Wow! AWESOME job! What gave it away for me, proving that they probably used this, is the bass line in sample... It is completely unmistakable...

[@briansredd]

No. I've tried several different suggestions and can't get any of them to work. One of these days, I'll get my answer.

[@medboy78]

Daft Punk's "One more time" I knew was sampled when I first heard it and I had a huge argument with people at the time who told me that it was not sampled until years and years later when it was shown that they did it. I love Daft Punk but I think the reason why some people have an issue with them sampling is that they don't credit all their sources. Sampling is great and they do a great job at it but don't act like you originally created the beat when in fact you did not.

[@briansredd]

We're VERY close on that one. Looks like I'm going to have to listen to "The Boss" album at 45 RPM... HA! I'm trying to find a song on that album that used light synth.

[@shokre312]

I'm not denying any of this, I'm just saying that it wouldn't be uncommon to hear those notes for a trumpet. I mean, you could take any song that has a trumpet playing that note one time and you could repeat it like that so it sounds like One More Time. Just my input on this.

[@briansredd]

Oh I can hear that one. It's the main groove chopped. ALAS! Something about Us uses Strawberry letter 22 By Brothers Johnson as well. It's the intro of the 12" version

[@briansredd]

The only thing I have is Lite, but I could never get it to work to try it out and gave up :(

[@briansredd]

Nope, I'm looking for a sample from a different song off a different album. High Fedelity is off the HOMEWORK album. High LIFE is off the Discovery album. The sample I'm asking about is in the song HIGH LIFE

[@briansredd]

Most of these are public information via a quick google search. High Life is the one that hasn't been revieled yet

[@ErikVaughnDillinger]

here is what trips me out... they have never denied using any samples, so when they DO deny it, I do believe them. I think sometimes it may be pure coincidence and sometimes people try a bit to hard to hear things that aren't there

[@briansredd]

That makes sense on some tracks. They do use some tracks that I'm sure someone owns, like "Evil Woman - ELO" for Face to Face. I'm sure Jeff Lynn still owns his entire catalog

[@briansredd]

I'd have to do some research on thoes. I never paid much attention to thoes samples really.

[@henrypascal546]

High Life sampled from "Break down for love" by Tavares

[@Conorsseur]

That "Rec Room" track is weird as hell. If it really is sampled, it's nigh impossible to tell. Wish somebody could make a video with an explanation. Very cool video Brian. It was awesome to hear it all come together at the end there. Wicked stuff, mate. -Conor

[@u.k.trainandbusvids]

One more time was my first song I heard from Daft Punk

[@Conorsseur]

btw, I went back and listened to High Life again and that track is awesome. Have you tried messing about with it in your Mixmaster software to see if anything sounds familiar. On a casual listen, I'd say it sounds like one of those classic soul/funk party tracks (but that doesn't really help much haha).

[@PHuuSK]

Heared several people going on about it. And to be honest, I can hear it too. Be sure to check the original version. The rest of the song also seems to have captured some 90ies eurodance tune.

[@himitsunoryu]

Okay, There is a song by Diana Ross called "It's My House". They may have used that for "High Life".

[@briansredd]

You know, I can put the DP song on one deck and the chop job I did here on another and actually create a phase or jet.

[@briansredd]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the groove is from Strawberry Letter 23 by Brothers Johnson

[@funkerman7]

I got a strange feeling that Daft Punk used 2 Unlimited - Get Ready For This (ya all know this) for Daftendirekt and Da Funk ... Maybe I'll do a short video about that.

[@briansredd]

I looked into that myself, but on the version of the song I'm using, there were too many strings involved in the middle section. Also, sample #3 only worked in the 2nd time around of the intro.

[@djstarjunkie]

actually, justice sampled Britney Spears feat Madonna - Me Against The Music for D.A.N.C.E., well, not really sampled as in used the same melody, check out the song and at almost 2:40 - 2:45 of the song when madonna sings "All my people in the crowd, let me see you dance C'mon Britney take it down, make the music dance All my people round and round, party all night long C'mon Britney lose control..." its the same melody as D.A.N.C.E., im pretty sure they know, since they remixed that track

[@ryan0831]

Awesome. Great work! The origin videos got me interested in your videos yo begin with, then I couldn't resist watching the rest.

[@shokre312]

Oh and the only thing I can think of for Rec Room is how the beat matches with the syllables for Around The World, and that's about it.

[@briansredd]

I have a link to the website in the discription

[@briansredd]

Leave them alone? Do you think I'm picking on them? Got nothing but respect for DP and love the music! Just showing how things may have been put together. It's nothing less than curiosity & a tribute to thier art. So..... settle down, Beavis!

[@joe15b]

tata vega sample is used on the armand van heldon mix

[@briansredd]

Ah, it's a hobby :) Need to do more of these. It's been a minute

[@cadenschmidt2752]

I HEAR IT JUST FROM HIM PLAYING IT ON THE RECORD

[@briansredd]

Not sure if it was SAMPLED per say. Inspiration? Absolutely!

[@aznmatrix1324]

btw high life was from the song "whos been sleeping in my bed" i think highlife is the song where all they say is like... doves in the air right?

[@briansredd]

I think you missed the point here. The only thing I've tried to do here is show how DP created the song with the source material. It was not my intention to discredit Daft Punk or to start up a psydo political discussion as to weather it's right or wrong to sample music. If you are a lawyer, what you mention may be all that matters. I'm not. I'm a DJ and the music is all that matters to me :)

[@djazaeer]

Hi im from france and im a deep fan of daft punk, and i love what you did because it helps me understand the sounds i like better (its like listening a lecture about a writer you like) ty again you shd get paid for it

[@briansredd]

The second one is tricky. the first 2 times around it's short, then the 3rd time it goes long.

[@jaggass]

i know ive alreaded commented but this is to briansredd and everyone else on youtube daft punks 'high life' im 75% sure that it is a sample from 'aint no mountain high enough' from the supremes

[@briansredd]

It may be Diana Ross's version, but I doubt it's the old Supremes version. It's something Diana Ross, for sure. If you slow it down, the sample sounds a bit more funky than the song you mention. I'll have a listen, though.

[@ThiefOfBaghdad]

They can't deny using the sample now, Brian... (: We got them... Along with the High Life sample which is "Tavares - Break Down For Love"... Try making a video of that, dude... Peace... DJ Happy... (:

[@chillmolder]

or maybe the concept of the Discovery album is Daft Punk sampled music they loved when they were a child and were "discover"ing music at the time back in the late 70s and early 80s

[@himitsunoryu]

I can't hear the rec room in around the world either. I tried finding the samples in it, but I had no luck.

[@wetigaz]

Jesus dude, you got it spot on! I'm guessing you make your own original sample-based music?

[@erinzoretich]

3:25 "here's what i came up with" 3:50 waiting... 4:05 i hear it, but i don't feel it 4:16 O_O I FEEL IT

[@briansredd]

They have for sure played thier own stuff on top of the sample. This chop is just the base of the song.

[@Kristofer01]

For tasks like the ones in the video I like the software goldwave, it´s nice to work with.

[@dannyboy0928]

whoah..that was mind blowing man..and also mind-opening..wow..I have Audacity and I know that won't cut it at all.But I could do something like that there couldn't I? wow..i cant wait to my library for samples and my humble kaossilator for more kraziness..thanks for the inspiration!

[@jaggass]

im about going to upload a video of stardust soon getting their sample from 'fate' by chaka khan it has something to with daft punk because thomas bangalter was in the band

[@briansredd]

I did. It's on the DISCOVERED CD

[@APH1991]

Now to find out where the One More Time we're gonna celebrate lyric comes from.

[@sunfade]

It's Romanthony...

[@samthesmartfella]

It's Romanthony's original lyrics

[@APH1991]

Cheers guys.

[@USAFFuturePilot]

RIP Romanthony, and this is an awesome video! It is pretty cool, and if they did sample it (which I'm sure they did honestly) than more power to them, they're both good songs.

[@chillmolder]

Are you sure about this? Discogs isn't telling me this and I'm looking right at the Eddie Johns liner notes and I don't see Daniel Vangarde at all being credited. All I see is "G. Sals" next to Eddie Johns's name.

[@Combatglue]

from what I understood they take music that noone owns "rights" on anymore, and even buy rights for certain parts of the samples they used. This was told by my coworker... we work at a media store.. (might be wrong but dont think he would atleast.. but but who knows, havent read it somewhere my self)

[@screweyedfoe]

What program would you suggest using when trying to take samples like this. And I just wonder what you think about artists sampling other songs and what it made for music in general, make a video out of it please! :)

[@StackCityEntOfficial]

yeah it could be i've only recently started gettin real into daft punk lately i've always liked there songs but now starting to love them thanks alot for this video too, helped alot

[@jaggass]

englishjohn06 claims to have the original record that daft punk used to make 'high life' it is a very good question about 'high life'

[@BoyImSmart]

Totally agree. The creativity is still there.

[@MarcusHahnemann]

Ahhh funny you should say that because I was listening to Louis La Roche who is an English DJ and his song "Peach" samples Diana Ross' song "All Of You" and the original sounds like it alot. I told briansredd about it and he is looking into it at the minute.

[@briansredd]

Well no, you wouldn't have. There are just a few notes from More Spell On You used. OMT wouldn't have enough pieces to recreate anything recognizable. I have no clue what they are using from Rec Room or if they are even using anything from it.

[@jamesblunt006]

This will get really popular today, 22 February 2021.

[@santilara4988]

Couple of days later

[@Spacemonkeymojo]

At first I couldn't see anything. Then it was unveiled at the end, that was AMAZING!

[@briansredd]

You are thinking of Superhreos
