What If “Face to Face“ by Daft Punk Used Newer Samples?

Join my Discord server: Twitter: Reddit: Soundcloud: This idea was inspired by a conversation in the Sample Hunting Discord community (now known as the Sample Sanctuary). Join here if you’d like: So I challenged myself to recreate Daft Punk’s “Face to Face” using samples that were released long after when the samples for the original track were released. While the original used samples mostly coming from the 1970s and 80s, I decided to use songs from a later time frame, hovering around the 2000s and early 2010s. This is mostly just something I did for fun; I wanted to see how close I could get to the original song while using entirely different samples. Either way, hope you enjoy! Full list of samples and their original equivalents:* LCD Soundsystem - Time to Get Away (main drums, used in place of: Herbie Mann - Jisco Dazz) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can’t Stop (main guitar riff, used in place of: Electric Light Orchestra - Evil Woman) Sweet Trip - Conservation of Two (backing track for the “Can’t Stop” riff, not used in place of anything really) Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe (string pluck, used in place of: Firefall - Body and Soul) Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone (short guitar chops, used in place of: The Alan Parsons Project - Silence and I Steppenwolf - Everybody’s Next One The Doobie Brothers - It Keeps You Runnin’ Boz Scaggs - You Got Some Imagination) Radiohead - Weird Fishes/Arpeggi (vocal samples, used in place of: The Alan Parsons Project - Old and Wise (both the “aah” and “chase” samples)) Oneohtrix Point Never - Nassau (piano sample, used in place of: Poco - Faith In the Families) Sufjan Stevens - Concerning the UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois (other piano sample, used in place of: Dan Mason - All Along the Watchtower) Radiohead - 15 Step (vocal samples, used in place of: Loggins & Messina - House at Pooh Corner Electric Light Orchestra - Can’t Get It Out of My Head) MGMT - Kids (“eeeee” vocal sample, used in place of: Loggins & Messina - Be Free) American Football - Never Meant (short riff sample, used in place of: Deborah Washington - The Letter) Wilco - Jesus, Etc.
