Is this to make remixing/sampling easier for other artists? Or do some people actually prefer drumless?

- mortenjorck 3y agoI don’t think “prefers” is the right framing, insofar as I don’t know of anyone who prefers writing in an esoteric language for everyday purposes. But it’s an interesting deconstruction of some familiar music.

- redwall_hp 3y agoIt's for DJs. Daft Punk is House music, and powerful drums are an defining part of the whole genre...which is also heavily based on sampling and remixing. A live DJ can easily pair this with another song, or their own percussion/instrumental tracks, since it doesn't have any to clash with them. Stem files are a common way to do this nowadays, but the original roots of the House genre were people sampling disco a capellas onto sampling keyboards and playing them with their own music, using TR-909 drums, keyboards like the notorious Korg M1, etc.
