AboutThomas Bangalter is a French composer & producer, born on January 3, 1975 in Suresnes, France. He is the son of Daniel Vangarde, the lyricist of Ottawan's "D.I.S.C.O.".
After the experience of Darlin' and before the Daft Punk phenomena, Thomas Bangalter released the two famous EP's Trax On Da Rocks, a composite of various samples set to funky House and Techno beats.
Part of Stardust, he released "Music Sounds Better With You" on his own label, Roulé, as well as his remix for "Rock Shock" by Roy Davis Jr.. The sub-label, Scratché, served to release The Buffalo Bunch's debut album.
In 1998, his track "Gym Tonic" was the center of a 'scandal' as Bob Sinclar included it on his album Paradise without the consent of Bangalter. This resulted in a law suit intended by guru fitness and actress Jane Fonda which voice was illegally sampled on the record.
A very 'anonymous' person, Bangalter nontheless gave a few interviews in and out of the Daft Punk phenomena. Although a lot of people credit him for the invention of 'filtered house', he cited Carl Craig AKA Paperclip People ("Throw") and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez as precursors of the style.
It must also be noted that outside Daft Punk, Bangalter stopped his DJing career due to ear problems. He is married to French actress Élodie Bouchez.
