DnB J

DnB J - Gmin 135bpm

Jungle track with only three elements (Drums / Bass / Piano).  This was meant to be an experiment to see how few elements I could use to fill out a track.

Trio Jungle

Trio Jungle - Dmin 160bpm

(Reworked to add a little extra flare)

Jungle track focused around a heavy evolving bass with some nasty drums to boot. I wanted to experiment with making a DnB track with only Drums & Bass.

Shadow Prancer

Shadow Prancer - Gbmin 176bpm

Breakbeat/Jungle track focused on clean breaks and a flute melody.   The track balances moods of serenity and strife to tell a bit of a story in its arrangement.  It's a rework of one of my old house tracks repurposing the melodic elements into a new genre.  

Lotus Bearer - Ebmin 164bpm

A Breakbeat/LoFi track focused around a heavily detuned guitar and clean breaks. I wanted to keep it relatively laid back, but still with enough rhythm and energy to keep the listener moving.  I made this with a good friend of mine - guitar / vocalist from the band Jacoozy.

A Human Experience - Bmin 75bpm

House track with a focus on upfront chopped vocals and a clean beat. I wanted to push for short transitions, and it led to some pretty interesting moments. This is another track from my back catalog that I pulled out to convert to the dnb, but I just couldn't justify leaving this house beat behind.

Didn't Mean a Thing - Emin 122bpm

Breakbeat track focused on a melancholy chord progression and some over the top drum chops.  I really just cut loose and had fun reworking this old house track from my back catalog. 

Funny story on the chords for this one. Back when I knew much less about music theory and production, I was building out a house track playing Cmaj triads. What I didn't realize is my synth was set to 2 note polyphony and one oscillator was set to -5 semitones. That resulted in these unusual spicy 4 note chords that I didn't totally understand but was very happy to stumble into. Might be a stretch to call this Gmaj, but its close enough in my book. Just had to do a rework to bring this back to life.

About Last Night - Gmaj 135bpm

Dnb track with a focus on a dark organic bass and a somber piano chord progression.  This track is cold, miserable but redeemably beautiful in its mood and tone.  I have been sick for the past couple of days and this track just got darker and darker as I worked on it.  

P.S. My ears are all wonky from being sick so hopefully I didn't totally ruin the mix haha

The Distance Between - Dmin 176bpm

House track with a focus on a fat bass line, spoken word and loads of texture and atmospheric elements. This track is dark, gritty, a little lofi and displays my twisted take on an organic sound. This is another track from my back cataloged that I have reworked to breathe some new live into it.

Honestly, I have always thought of this as one of my signature tracks. It really embodies a lot of the weird and gnarly things that I love about electronic music as a whole, and I had a great time bringing out a new side of it.

Lost Objects - Amin 116bpm

Remaster of my original track - Just wanted to give this one some love and bring it up to par with my current productions.  The original mix was held together by twigs and mud, so it was a hell of a job to clean it up, but I had a ton of fun doing it.

Jungle track that really wishes it was breakcore. The track captures a bit of that old school Toonami anime flavor and present it in a wild transforming piece.

Gnarled Icon - Bbmin 168bpm

House track with a focus on a fat low end and rhythmic melodic elements.  This track is upbeat with a groove that evolves as melodic elements trade off the lead role.  Another back catalog track that was in desperate need of a clean-up. 

I usually release on Thursdays, but I have two ready so consider this one an end of year bonus track 😏 Happy New Year!

Kinda Juicy - Cmin 126bpm

Drum and Bass track with a focus on an experimental bass and gritty overprocessed drums.  This track is dark and moody with short bursts of melancholy.  I started this as an experiment using EB FreakyTable on a guitar chord to see what kind of sound I could get out of it but had such an interesting result I decide to throw some drums on and make a whole track out of it.  

Streetlights - Dmin 176bpm

House track with a focus on a rhythmic lead synth and a clean beat.  This track is upbeat but keeps a chill vibe and fun groove.  This is an ancient track from my back catalogue made with a good friend of mine.  It never got a completed version, so it feels good to finally bring this one across the finish line.

Ya Feel Me - Ebmin 128bpm

Breakbeat track with a focus on evolving synths and clean but hectic breaks.  The track moves through a few moods but overall brings excitement and hopefully a little introspection.  I have been working on this one for a while - it has been hard to get it just right, but I finally got it to a state I am happy to share!

I Reject Your Reality - Amin 140bpm

IDM track with a focus on melodic/rhythmic piano elements and an 808 built to tear them apart.  This track has a down, but thought-provoking mood with occasional moments of excitement.  Everything just kind of came together for me on this one, and some parts felt like they wrote themselves.  I know this track will not be for everyone, but I hope it makes a few people feel something.

The Joke's on Me - Gmin 140bpm

Lofi/Triphop track with a focus on accompanying a chopped jazz piano sample.  The mood changes through the track with the addition of warmer elements, the idea being, the change of winter to spring.  This one was meant to be a follow up to my previous track using the same base piano sample along with a few other elements carried over to reimagine the vibe in a juicy slowly trudging piece.   

Seasons Change - Gmin 84bpm

Acid track with a focus on an evolving 303 and an accompaniment wild end to go along for the ride.  The track has a chaotic and energizing mood with transitions meant to keep the listen in a state of disassociation.  This is an old back-catalogue track I made with a good friend of mine some time ago with some new twisted to even confuse them to what's going on. 

Welcome to... - Cmaj 130bpm

Breakbeat track with a focus on a funky bass and clean breaks.  The track is dark and moody with a bit of funkiness thrown on top to keep a solid groove and get the people moving.  I just wanted to experiment and make something a bit different and fun with this one.

Back Alley Dealings - Emaj 105bpm

Hardcore Jungle track with a focus on intense chaotic breaks and maximum booty shaking.  This track pushes to keep the energy as high as possible and the people moving till they collapse.  I posted this one briefly a few weeks ago, but decided it needed a rework to clean it up and expand on a few ideas.  

Addicted - Gmin 175bpm

Phonk/Trap track with a focus on heavily manipulated 808s and evolving grooves.  This track is upbeat and meant to catch the listener off guard with unexpected transitions. I actually found it challenging to make a phonk track (and it might a be a stretch to call this phonk) - So I would like to thank Limitless TrueVibe for putting up a beat challenge to push me outside the norm!

Hard Movin -  Ebmin 160bpm

Atmospheric Drum & Bass track with a focus on a clash between warped melancholy chords and heavenly melodies.  This track balances dark and beautiful tones meant to, if only for the short time, relive listeners of anguish in their life.  When this track started coming together it really made me feel something, so I hope to pass that same feeling along to you.

Surrender Your Woes - Bbmin 176bpm

Minimal/IDM track with a focus on a melancholy chord progression and intermingled supporting elements.  The track pushes a mood of introspection but still carries a driven beat like railroad tracks for thought.  I wanted this track to reflect and individual's troubles, but also, more broadly, humanity's as a whole.  I have worked on this one on and off for quite some time and it led to some interesting drawn-out arrangement decisions, but I found when trying to trim it down it lost a bit of the magic that I love about it, so here we are. 

For What Do We Trouble Ourself - Amin 85.5bpm

Lofi House track with a focus on dirty distortion and nostalgic vibes.  This track brings a chill mood with minimal melodic elements driven by a smooth but somewhat chaotic beat.  The track is a rework of a very old project of mine from 2018, and that, coupled with the fact I just got back from a month of traveling where I was admittedly feeling a bit homesick lead to the overall direction and title.

Feels Like Home - Abmin 130bpm

Electronic track with a focus on slow churning build ups and soulful vibes.  This track takes its time to lull listeners into a commanding groove and fills the air with vibrations meant to touch the soul.  I found the parts for this track going through old project files.  Just two 8 bar loops collecting dust, waiting for their moment to be brought to life. 

Livin in a Moment - Dmin 90bpm

Industrial Techno track with a focus on a maniacal lead and an overpowering bassline built to destroy it. This track cold but pushes listeners forward with a hard groove that progresses into chaos. This is yet another rescue project from the back catalog, and when I rediscovered it, I decided it needed to be pushed to my absolute limit. Next week I'll be sure to bring you something fresh from the top of the workflow.

P.S. Might be a stretch calling this Industrial Techno.  I put it in one of those genre detecting websites and that's what it gave me.  Frankly, I'm not sure what to call it.

She's Not the One - Amin 128bpm

A track somewhere between Jungle and Breakcore with a focus on unhinged manipulation of a pad and massive breaks to match. This track is a full send of wall-to-wall sound meant to fill a room with chaotic energy. Since it's been two months since my last DnB track, I wanted to have fun and just throw together a monster. More DnB to come 🙏

Stray Further - Emaj 170bpm

IDM track with a focus on bit crush distortion and airy elements emerging from it.  This track is moody and meant to push out waves of melancholy while carrying just enough groove to guide the listener.  When the parts started coming together, the bit crushed elements sounded so desolate that I couldn't resist finding some soulful sounds to create a heavy mood.  Honestly, I felt like I could have taken this one a lot further - so maybe in the future I'll turn this into a proper full length track.

Moving On - Ebmin 175bpm

Jungle track with a focus on transforming classic rock samples into a fresh modern piece.  This track brings hard grooves with dark chaotic vibes to fill out a room with grit teeth and moving feet.  So this track was originally put together for a beat challenge, but some unexpected travel left me missing the deadline. This might have been the fortunate curse as I really got the chance to wrestle this one around and make it my own at the end of the day.  

Oh Fortunate Curse - Bmin 165bpm

Dnb track with a focus on heavily distorted breaks and textured vocals.  This track throws out pure chaos with massive transitions and erupting breaks designed to showcase the frustrations of love.  Honestly, this track feels like a sin against the drum and bass genre, but sometimes sinning just feels so good. 

Lover - Gmin 168bpm

Breakbeat track with a focus on textured leads and clean, heavy breaks. This track is driven by bleak, melancholy melodics amidst hopeful themes for more mundane times bleeding through throughout. Honestly, I have worked on this one far too long. It has driven me a little crazy, so I am elated to finally get it off my plate to anyone else tired of these interesting times.
