Album: F0ur (2013/2014/2015/2016)

Here's a set of track I made in the Drum & Bass and Dubstep style.  Has my own signature though, so might sound a bit different. But hey, that's what we're here for!

Drum, Bass, Dub and Step

Once again time for some drum & bass violence! One of the styles BioStorm's loyal to. Intentionally many different influences all over this track though.

Making tracks never starts the same way. This one did by starting with the suspense intro, but soon enough the spacey synth and filthy wobbles would find their place.

Being a big fan of whining sounds and breakbeats, couldn't leave them out of course. And even though I already had written the vocals, added them last. 

Nuff talkin' check the result!

Equation

Inspired by the sound of the xylophone, with some imagination sounding like Skulls and Bones, decided to have myself another creepy setting around a secret society known by the same name.

Even though the basic ingredients were easily done, I also wanted to play around with the big room sound. Blending the two proved to be quite the challenge! But here it is.


One Of Us

Uptempo industrial experimental drum & bass with a slight claustrofobic taste to it :p

Started with an eerie sound and an industrial snare. Went from there. Synths, basses, custom made vocals and perc, the works.

Sum Of All Fears

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

Presenting a dubstep showcase with lots of variation from rough to funky and even happy! Join me on an adventure into the mind of BioStorm! 

First I made up the title in this case, being related to the number -theme of BioStorm album "F0ur". Then the vocals and atmosphere came. Soon added the cheesy organ. Percussion and tempo becoming dubsteppy.

The entire time longing for some 8bit flavours and growls and sweeps, so I added more and more. Quite the process, but I am pleased with what it became. At some point you have to let go. Hope you'll enjoy!



Count Dracula

So, here's another drum & bass track, finally, again! ;)An uptempo track with some 8-bit inspiration and crazy sounds.

This time started with a distorted guitar sound in a melody. From that went playing with FX, timestretches and wobbles. But also some violins, choir and brass for dramatic effect.

Personally quite pleased with the end product. Drop me a line, tell me what you think! TIA

"Let the 8-bit countdown commence"

"8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, zero, lift-off"

8-bit Countdown

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

During my eternal search for cool vocals, I once more deciced to make my own, see the lyrics below.

Being a big fan of dark uptempo breakbeats I decided to go drum and bass on this one. Meaning: crazy atmospheres, synths and basses.

This will probably the last track on my fourth album. Be sure to check them all out! And let me know what y'all think. TIA.

Calculated Risk

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.
