Info about Thomas Bangalter
French musician, record producer, singer, songwriter, DJ and composer, born 3 January 1975.
He is part of the duo [a=Daft Punk]. Son of [a=Daniel Bangalter] AKA [a=Daniel Vangarde], who composed [r=187160] for [a=Ottawan].
After the experience of [a=Darlin'] and before the [a=Daft Punk] phenomenon, Thomas Bangalter released the two famous EPs 'Trax On Da Rocks', a composite of various samples set to funky House and Techno beats.
He released 'Music Sounds Better With You' on his own label [l=Roulé] as part of [a=Stardust] as well as his remix for "Rock Shock" by [a=Roy Davis Jr.].
In 1998, his track 'Gym Tonic' was the center of controversy as [a=Bob Sinclar] included it on his album "Paradise" without the consent of Bangalter. This resulted in a lawsuit from fitness guru and actress Jane Fonda, whose voice had been illegally sampled on the record.
A very 'anonymous' person, Bangalter nontheless has given a few interviews in and out of the [a=Daft Punk] phenomenon. Although a lot of people credit him for the invention of 'filtered house', he has cited [a=Carl Craig] AKA [a=Paperclip People] ("Throw") and [a=Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez] as precursors of the style.
It must also be noted that outside [a=Daft Punk], Bangalter stopped his DJing career due to ear problems.
Bangalter is married to French actress [a=Elodie Bouchez] with whom he has two sons: Tara-Jay (born 2002) and Roxan (born 2008).
