Stardust

  / artists (S)
Real Name:Alain Quême, Benjamin Cohen, Thomas Bangalter
Profile:French trio composed of Thomas Bangalter (one half of Daft Punk & legendary French grooves maestro), Alan Braxe and singer Benjamin Diamond. Deliberate one hit wonder revealed with the success of "Music Sounds Better With You" in 1998. The song included a sample of "Fate", originally performed by Chaka Khan.
The distinctive flavour of the song influenced dance music for several years and led to a standard exploited by many DJ's (Phats & Small, Junior Jack among others).
Several unofficial mash-ups appeared over the years. One of the most popular, by the Stuntmasterz, used the vocals of Madonna's "Holiday" on top of the Stardust track.
Stardust is linked to the 'Gym Tonic' Event: "Music Sounds Better With You" was released at the same time Bob Sinclar promoted the single "Gym Tonic", which illegaly sampled the voice of US actress and fitness guru Jane Fonda. After legal actions were taken by Fonda, Thomas Bangalter prevented the record's full release and banned Sinclar's remixes of "Music Sounds Better With You". That is why some editions have the Sinclar mix included, and some others have the replacement mixes by Dimitri From Paris & Bibi, and DJ Sneak instead.
Spacedust's 'Gym & Tonic' is a joke about the event and does incorpore recreated samples of both "Music Sounds Better With You" and "Gym Tonic". Groovy 69, an Italian dance act, also took profit of the situation with "Stardust Medley With Dust", a deliberate confusing title.
Members:Alain Quême, Benjamin Cohen, Thomas Bangalter
