Thomas Bangalter

Born in 1975. Part of the duo [a=Daft Punk], producer and writer. 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] 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.

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 a 'scandal' as [a=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 whose voice was illegally sampled on the record.

A very 'anonymous' person, Bangalter nontheless gave a few interviews in and out of the [a=Daft Punk] phenomena. Although a lot of people credit him for the invention of 'filtered house', he 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).
