Son of Daniel Bangalter AKA Daniel Vangarde, who composed D.I.S.C.O. for Ottawan. Thomas composed the score to the 2002 French film Irréversible.
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 first opus of Buffalo Bunch, The.
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.
In 2004 DJ Falcon and Bangalter had the idea for 'Call On Me', a track based on a sample of 'Valerie' performed by Steve Winwood. Released as a white label, it started to get played in France. A DJ named Eric Prydz was supposed to remix it, but ever since the 'Gym Tonic Event', Bangalter had gained a notoriety in finding good samples and imaginative ideas. For unknown reasons, Roulé didn't clear the sample to release the track commercially, but Prydz, helped with his label Ministry Of Sound, did. Even Steve Winwood liked the track and re-recorded a part of his vocals to be part of the project. Result: 'Call On Me' became a worldwide hit, but without any mention of Bangalter in the credits or in the concept.
A year later, the German duo N-Trance under the alias of Freeloaders (2), did the same thing with 'So Much Love To Give'.
Since then, Thomas Bangalter and the artists around him ceased to release on Roulé, put in sleep mode for an undefinite period of time.
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.
Thomas helped produce tracks off Arcade Fire’s 2017 album “Everything Now”. Two tracks from Bangalter were in Gaspar Noé’s 2018 film “Climax”. One of these tracks, “Sangria” had not been previously released. After Daft Punk Split in 2021, Bangalter contributed to a track on the 2022 film “En Corps”. In 2022, He had composed music for a ballet known as “Mythologies”. The music composed for the ballet would be released as an album in 2023. Bangalter appeared in press material and interviews without costume.

i love the simplicity of this music. even though music nowadays is so overproduced and so much work goes into it, i find that this old raw shit is what really makes me groove. probably because the rawness gives it its personality and it's not polished into a bland piece of music. also the fact that this entire album could be written now with a simple sampler sequencer like the volca sample is awesome!

+fayekhelmi I think just like you, I notice and even read about this bro's musical style, alone and with Homen Cristo, It is reiterative in melody, it can be appreciated in Homework, ALL IS SO REITERATIVE, but if you focus enough you can hear that the sound isn´t the same from begining to end. I hear ''Alive'' again and again and I really want to get the infrastructure to get all detailed of how can you make a song that seems sound same all time, be different ever. Also ''Out run'' have the same concept half the song until Bangalter starts to play with the ''buble blasting'' scratch at the second half.

Still A lot of great house music out there these days
High Ground!
I feel just the same! I'm always amazed how much depth you can find in these loops even after years. It's rawness creates so much charm. It's like listening to a collage. It works as a whole but it adds so much fun to recognize all the details.
Geeeee8
Things underground have started getting better. Yea not into that tech house sound though. Such a specfic style but it's not even that nice
