There are many reason to hate Daft Punk, but here I’m mainly going to focus on the main issue I have with them – sampling. I’ve never been a fan of sampling (or Daft Punk for that matter). It seems like a lazy way to make music, and has long been a thorn in the heel of electronic music. Any kid with Ableton can put a 4\/4 kick beneath a two-bar disco loop and “create” the next radio annoyance.<\/p>\n

Daft Punk, however, are much worse than that. They don’t credit samples in album sleeves, pretend they’re magical music geniuses, and actively deny sampling. That’s right, they deny it. I’d go as far as to suggest that 90% of Daft Punks repertoire is entirely lifted from old obscure records.<\/strong--><\/p>\n

For a long time I tried to think of a sample based piece of music that had some integrity. I couldn’t do it. I tried to think of a sample based piece of music that was in fact better than the record it sampled. I could not.<\/p>\n

I’ll probably be adding to this list as time goes on, but for tonight here’s a few reasons I don’t like Daft Punk.<\/p>\n
