I thought it was quite interesting. Sure sampling is a big part of dance music but I think they over stepped the mark with this...
Crystal Castles ripping off music?

Wow yeah the Daft Punk thing was interesting, no idea they used so many samples!
Yeah sampling is a massive part of dance music, heck I would be an utter hypocrite claiming to be against it doing it myself in my attempts at tunes. The Crystal Castles thing was a bit controversial because they used the whole song without credit, is that legal or not?

Good question - a question possibly started by the JAMMS/KLF'Steve' wrote:Wow yeah the Daft Punk thing was interesting, no idea they used so many samples!

i think where i have an issue with sampling is if the sample in question forms the main hook of the track and is not credited.. The JAMMS use of samples was so tongue-in-cheek that no-one in their right mind would confuse it for their own work.
it's certainly a skill to take bits from other peoples work and create something original (DJ Shadow springs to mind), not to take an existing piece of music, put a beat behind it and loop for 16 bars (a lot of Daft Punk)..
but i still like Daft Punk
