I love Daft Punk. As far as electronic music is concerned, I'd consider Daft Punk to be my first love. Before I stumbled on Daft Punk's AMAZING Homework album, I was kind of a hip-hop purist. I was super into Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, Jeru the Damaja, Lootpack, Doom, Dilla, Outkastβ¦I had this mindset that rap music was the only type of music out there that was real, you know. I also wasn't into German rapβ¦although it was kinda omnipresent at that time here in Germany. I even wore a bloody Wu-Tang chain when I got pictures taken for my driver's licenseβ¦that's the level of realness I'm talking about here!π
Anyway, when I went into my favourite record store at that time, the store owner was likeβ¦"dude, check this outβ¦I know you're into hip-hop and stuff but you NEED to check this out!!! Trust me!"...and he handed me this black LP with this iconic red logo on the front and I was like "yo, this looks sick, dude!"...put it on the turntable, popped on these ridiculously big headphones and.. wowβ¦I was like "What on earth is this?!" Sat there and listened to the whole LP in one goβ¦when Da Funk came on, it wasβ¦I don't knowβ¦like an epiphany or something! That was the moment I fell in love with the music of Daft Punk!
Ok, I'm waffling on a bit, aren't I? Let's talk about the PO-33 kit, then, shall we? So, for this PO+33 kit, I created a bunch of Daft-Punk-type one-shots, drum loops, vocals, as well as a couple of synth loops and stabs.
