Album: Through The Gate (2012/2013)

A collection of tracks of the more mellow styles. House, techno, poppy club and even a bit of hiphop and trap. 

From Electro, House, Trap, Acid to da Pop and da Hop!

Happy vocal garage house track with a 2step rhythm. Featuring an unknown singer on it. Male or female, who knows :)

Figure It Out

Now, here's the concept. Some spacey setting with digits floating around in space. What digits are is not important right now :)

What is important, is that it started as a 16 bar project, fitting different instruments in melody together. Once that was done, spreading it into a 5 minute arrangement.

Couldn't help myself putting in some heavier stuff in the middle. Experimenting with a subkick and lead synth. In some bizarre note combinations I think.

Digits

I have been waiting to try an ethnic set of percussion for a while now. This track is powered by it! Oh, and don't forget the flute.

Intentionally wanted them to sound lo-fi somehow, think I managed that. Adding a custom BioStorm vocal, of course! ;)

Also played around with some distorted guitar sounds and managed to add them to the mix. Teaming them up with some synths while at it.

I did not forget the trustworthy Roland-machines from 101 through the 909, so you might hear those too here or there.

Well, give it a listen. Comments, downloads or sharing are very welcome!

1001 Nights

Back in the year 2013 - yes that is a long time ago... - I started this track. Obviously trap music, with a snap, heavy 808 kick, snare bursts etc. Left it alone for a while then.

Picked it up last December! Doing so, it soon became exotic, using lofi and hifi brass. On top of that I found a catchy electro bass in a homemade custom synth I always wanted to use (the Fatman). That sound is used in many ways here.

From brass came more brass :)But the track also needed some distorted kicks and synths I figured, so added a 909 kick and a Juno polysynth. 

Oh, and there's some vocal work too! Had to write something "fitting". Listen to it and let me know what you think! Comments, shares and downloads are very welcome. TIA!

===Lyrics===

"Shoutout to the Massive, he King of the Dancehall Selecta"

"Bringing da Beats, them Big Round Wiggling Booty Stylee"

"Booya da Beenie Man Is Number One"

 

Number One

Fooling around with some 808 percussion and sounds from the Juno synth, gave me the idea to go back in time!

Always being influenced by "my house roots" back in the day, I wanted the entire atmosphere to be just that. Using the 303 in the typical way made it work.

Leaving out some cheesy vocals this time, but adding cool ones kept me on track. Did the whole melodic vocoder thing, which fit in nicely I think. 

Remarks, comments, likes or downloads are very welcome! Enjoy the time travel! ;)

"This is the sound of '88"

"Jackin' to the beat is sooo sweet"




Sound Of '88

As a kid, owning a MSX2 homecomputer, I always wanted to make music with it. But I didn't have a music-chip and keyboard for it. I never bought those. But a few months back, I decided to search for and get them!.

Did that mainly because I was looking for 8bit sounds to use in a track. A few weeks ago, I got to it. Picking sounds, sampling them and using them in a very familiar way. Even though it sounds familiar, I composed the whole thing myself.

So, have a listen. You can say a lot, but it is NOT depressing :p Go ahead and save the castle! ;)

Save The Castle

My study on the art of drum and bass continued! Hoping to find a better way of mixing my electronic background with some genuine dnb percussion.

Meaning using known elements from the genre and bringing them together in a BioStorm way. Aiming for contrast by using a high bell and a more rough guitar sound. Adding vocal and synth for atmosphere of course :)

It was not until the end that it reminded me of some kinda "Atlantic Ocean 'Waterfall' On Speed" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrCMDZiQSMY). But either way: enjoying myself and hopefully others with this track.


Trust Me

A few years ago, BioStorm was all about dark suspense in tracks. To be honest, found it difficult to create something less worried, let's say: happy.

So, I am probably evolving, growing. Because this track is an electro house inspired track with a playful vibe to it. Containing almost funky elements! :)

Obvious are the electro drumset and bassline. But also went a bit further with the vocoder stuff this time. Learning a bit more every time!

4 On The Floor

Back in the dubstep flow this time. With a few particular BioStorm twists as ingredients, meaning original custom sounds. Here is 'Ghosts'!

You'll probably also recognize some BioStorm tension combined with the lower pace dubstep is known for. Tried to put in the power anyway, we can all make fast tracks right?! :)

Enjoyed the process with this one because it went quite smoothly. Looking for sounds, finding the proper arrangement and adjusting levels to my liking. See what you think! 


Ghosts

Whether it's tekno, hardcore or just noisy, either way: here's my latest project! Kicks, snares, 303 in effect and...a special break.

After 2 minutes, if you make it that far :), let a nice dose of contrast surprise you with some classical piano influences I came up with.

Always going for an hybrid approach of things, it's BioStorm all the way! Would say it's at least "interesting". Check it out!



Distorted Robotlove

BioStorm is always inspired by the old and the new styles around him. Ever since hearing the first 303 acid dripping tracks in 1988, he travelled through time via house, techno, trance, hardcore, drum and bass, dubstep, hiphop and pop. At the age of 18 was selling his moped to buy a sampler instead the right move because. Because decades later he's still at it, working from The Netherlands, which is an actual country in Western Europa :) His philosophy is: electronic dance music DOES have a soul and comes in many forms. BioStorm is not about one style, but one universal language.
