Album: Through The Gate (2012/2013)

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

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

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

===Lyrics===

"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.

"When dealing with challenges"

"Humans often use improvisation"

"They apply a certain degree of calculated risk"

"Which results in failure or worse"

Calculated Risk

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.
