Back with another set of mash-up tunes, this time influenced by a mixture of some of the rock, reggae, dub and other old school tunes alongside the usual grime and trap influences. Featuring the amazing vocal samples from Evanescence, Baby Cham, Anthony B, and Kurt Cobain’s Smells Like Teen Spirit, this set of tunes are another delve into my random box – using the vocals to tell my own story on the beats. Along with my own animations, I hope it’s another eclectic load of tunes to jam to.

Speaking Through Others

Patience [EP]
My first EP release following cancer diagnosis and surgery, I’m back with 6 bangers of sampled freshness. Coming from deep in that box of old cables everyone’s got, it includes samples from Kitboga, Netflix’s Marco Polo, Rainbow Six Siege, and The Shawshank Redemption amongst others. A mixture of trap, grime, hip-hop and several other genres, Patience is an EP of six tunes that is heavily influenced by my moods and feelings with every sample chosen and layered to tell a story – each track and the samples used alluding to some of my experiences and qualities.

Who is Jay-El?
I’m a homegrown UK producer making mainly grime, trap, dubstep and drum and bass beats. Hobbiest and self-taught, I thought it was time to start releasing some of the bits straight from the 1 square foot studio I make all my music in. I make music because I like music, not as a job and I sample everything from old to new to help spread those people too. Big up the sunflower gang.

The new EP Hood Beauty out now, it’s infused with the energy of my recent push through to remission with the vocal content speaking for me.

Hood Beauty

Simple straight gutter tune, this one’s sampling the legendary Sizzla on the beat – always make any beat fire.

Don't Test We

Sampling a true OG Richard Feynman and one of his most famous interviews, this one is about the rules of the game. Turn it up to 11 and throw the window open wide.

Rules

Drawing on my love of all things bass, these six drum and bass tracks sample everything from the incredible voice of Amy McDonald, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, through Kitboga, and all the way to Nate Dogg and some classic G-Funk.

Quick on the heels of my last two releases, this one takes a different route through the back streets travelling at 180BPM rather than the usual 140 – all genres are welcome here. 

All the same, still bass heavy and with some pumping melodies, as well as some more of my own composing I’m pleased that each track meets my head bopping criteria.

Breakout

Country Dub

Final Forms

Ruthless

Industry Dub

Vibes

Deadman

A hard scene from a funny film, the original Pirates of the Caribbean, this one has the ghosts of pirates haunting the beat with the melody – the bass smooth like silky wave tops. Big up the violinist vandals wrecking those strings on a daily.

Pirates and Kings

Pirate's Reward

A royal fanfare of rudeness with the roadman that is King Gary, just don’t bring the technics to the party. Holla at the cul-de-sac crew, I sees you.

King Antics

Layering a mixture of the sublime vocals of both the Strangler’s Golden Brown and Sizzla’s vocal from Dry Cry – check them out if you don’t know these stone-cold bangers from back in the day – with an introduction from Ricky Gervais can’t go wrong!

This one’s a heartfelt lament for a girl of the roads, one too many people know.

Jazz Club

Golden B

An updated Grime refix of Dave Brubeck’s excellent Take 5, take more also samples Shorty from Scary Movie explaining the rules of a snatch and run (This channel doesn’t condone that kind of thing, of course!). One of my favourite Jazz tunes, I hope this goes down well and while not coming close to the original or many other covers – I hope this one finds it’s place and introduces even one new person to the work of Dave Brubeck.

Take More

A more melodic blending of Jazz, Trap and Grime, this tune is a percy with deep synths, dark bass and a haunting melody this has shoulders rolling in the 1ft studio. Turn this one up to 11 and let the bass boom out.

Good Music

Sampling one of my favourite comedies, the Fast Show, this one’s an introduction to the album – setting out the store for what’s to come in the rest of the project. Sounding far too much like an art critic, I’ll leave it at it being a relaxed tune to get the heads bouncing on a chill one.

Welcome To Jazz Club

Patti Smith’s passionate vocal from the 80’s ballad makes the perfect accompaniment and story telling for me to add to this ballad-inspired more relaxed grime and trap instrumental laced with a melodic organ and pulsing piano.

Our Night ft. Patti Smith [Unofficial Jay-El Dub]

Sampling Kurt Cobain’s amazing vocal on Smells Like Teen Spirit, go check out the original as it’s a banger but I’ve added a 140 twist to it, a booming bass and a dark melody that was making the heads bop in the 1ft studio.

Entertain Us ft. Kurt Cobain [Unofficial Jay-El Dub]

From VladTV, the legendary Crunchy Black’s wisdom fits perfectly over this rock reggae dub trap and grime instrumental. Ready for some hot fire, big up to the originators and OGs.

Think Smart

Sampling Evanescence’s incredible, powerful vocal it transforms perfectly into a darker tune about rolling the roads with a cold soul. Paired with a booming bass and a deep dub and trap style, this ones a persy.

Cold Spirit ft. Amy Lee [Unofficial Jay-El Dub]

Sampling both the amazing vocals of Anthony B’s Good Sound and the intro to the grime banger Going to War with P Money and Blacks. This dub and reggae inspired head bopper and shoulder rocker had the 1ft studio’s wobbling. Big respect to the OGs and originators.

Sound War ft. Anthony B [Unofficial Jay-El Dub]

Inspired by the long prog rock and metal songs that made up some of the music I was around growing up that were super long and changed halfway through, this slapper of a beat takes cues from Metallica’s incredible Orion (again, go check it out, absolute banger). Paired with a deep cello and chill beat this one’s a favourite little bopper.

Old School Metal

A song I grew up listening to, I’ve always loved the powerful vocal that spoke to people as I’m sure most of these kinds of autobiographies do. Paired with a deep 140 beat and a journeying cello, this one had my head rocking along with the choir.

Stories ft. Baby Cham [Unofficial Jay-El Dub]

Featuring the fine members of the Reno Sherriff’s department on their hunt for Fast Eddie, this country and rock inspired instrumental starts off the album with a more relaxed feeling. Taking you on an audio journey through the desert, this one’s a deep banger that could easily find it’s way into a western shootout.

Reno Nights

Cortana, and not the failed Microsoft product - everyone knows her as the Halo sidekick, and with her taking us along on the selection process for the next Master Chief this tune’s sure to be foot tapper. It’ll always take you back to playing the co-op campaign with the mates after school – yes, I’m old enough for it to have to have been split screen, but hopefully this tune has people’s head bopping wherever they are.

Spartan Soldier [ft. Halo's Cortana]

Granny Edna has been everyone’s favourite scam busting Kitboga character for a while, and I thought why not take her on a trippy, outergalactic space trip as her husband screws up the microwaves, but don’t worry, he’s watched some safety videos! For real though, this is a laid back Kitboga-sampled head bobber that’s got some rude sampling of one of my favourite episodes – link below.

Glitches [ft. Kitboga's Granny Edna]

Sampling the baddest of all teachers, Thousand Eyes from Marco Polo, this one is a fresh old-school grime inspired banger straight from the streets hopefully reaching up to find amazing feats among the clouds – it certainly made my head bop hard in the 1ft studio. Big up to all the educators.

Hard Work [ft. Thousand Eyes]

No one can ever beat the wisdom and poise of Morgan Freeman’s Ellis in the supreme The Shawshank Redemption, and I hope that I’ve done it justice by layering it with some of the best vocals you can ever come by with some layered vocals of Arethra Franklin’s Someday We’ll All Be Free leaving me with a tune that I’m probably most proud of many that I’ve made – hope people enjoy it!

Sureshanking [ft. Shawshank Redemption]

I love any and all genres from all over the world, and especially folk music made with local instruments. Hoping to do the Mongolian musicians proud, this tune uses a Morin Khuur (Mongolian horse hair instrument) layered over a creamy deep beat to create an absolute percy! Hope you find something you like in this new grime, trap and bass track for 2024!

Ambitions [ft. Marco Polo and Chengis Kahn]

Mixing two old school mainstream tunes with the Black Eyed Pea’s Anxiety featuring Papa Roach and Numb by Linkin Park. Easy to get them mixed up – and taking the best of both worlds, I thought it was high time to make my own personal Trap/Grime remix to send out to the streets. The new EP Hood Beauty out now, it’s infused with the energy of my recent push through to remission with the vocal content speaking for me.

Numb Anxiety [ft. Black Eyed Peas and Linkin Park “Jay-El’s Unofficial Linking Park Remix”]

Arthur [ft. Ziggy Marley “Jay-El’s Unofficial Inner City School Mix”]

Drifting Far [ft. the Sunshine Garcia Band “Jay-El’s Unofficial Sea of Dreams Mix”]

Soulful and articulate lyrics about the love of Marie, layered sweetly over a Trap/Grime beat with a sprinkling of Moby’s famous Porcelain strings for good measure giving the bars something to sit on. The new EP Hood Beauty out now, it’s infused with the energy of my recent push through to remission with the vocal content speaking for me.

Marie [ft. Moby’s Porcelain and Vybz Kartel “Jay-El’s Unofficial Next Morning Grime Mix”]

Bringing the energy hard, Bounty Killer and Masicka’s big vocal layers over this hype but deep street Grime/Trap instrumental, their deep flows matching the energy I’ve had to use with various health issues to meet them head on. The new EP Hood Beauty out now, it’s infused with the energy of my recent push through to remission with the vocal content speaking for me.

Always Ready [ft. Bounty Killer and Masicka “Jay-El’s Unofficial Fire in the Eyes Mix”]

Sampling the vocals from one of the old school personals that anyone who knew Channel U will remember. Big up to the old school grime vocalists, this is my version of it and I hope it gets some heads and shoulders bopping. The new EP Hood Beauty out now, it’s infused with the energy of my recent push through to remission with the vocal content speaking for me.

Dreams [Movin’ Remix ft. Da Cream, 2NV, Bashy, Bruza, Tinchy Stryder, Skinnyman, Scratchy, Roachee]
