This blows my mind! I always thought Daft Punk came up with it originally and I was amazed on how they were able to get it to sound like the music was mimicking “Robot Rock”. Who knew this group Breakwater was really behind it all along. It makes me wonder what other tracks have been sampled for contemporary hits.
Other artists groups aside, I found an interesting list of samples Daft Punk have used. You can find it on my music server if you are lucky enough to have access, if you aren’t here’s some helpful info:
