Genre : Ambient Jungle / Drum N Bass
BPM : 159

☯ "Looking out into the rain, soaked cigarette in your hand , thoughts passing by , there's nothing like letting the skies just clear your head..."

Substance began as an idea back in June 2015 and was originally called "Silence", which is a strange choice looking back because of the genre the song falls in!. There were many early versions and at one point it was intended for a compilation that sadly didn't take off as i took an extended break from music production and hung the headphones up for a while! 

Fast forward to the present and after what has probably felt like an eternity to followers (sorry!!!) it is now fully produced, cleaned up and rendered at a much higher quality than any other upload.

[Release] "Frequency" [Preview 🎧]

Genre : Tech House
BPM : 123

"House has always been straight floor to the floor, but there's no harm in breaking the rules now and again, right?..."

☯ I miss sequencing house together, dipped into a lot of faster tempos over the years I'd forgotten the simple pleasures of kick drums and hi hats, was practically the genre that started it all of for me. Of course, wasn't going to just go with any old regular type of house~

[Showcase - Tech House] "Synergy" [V3#] [Updated ⚡]

Genre : House
BPM : 125

"There's so many sub genres of house its gets so crowded, sometimes, keep it simple, and people will feel the groove..."

☯ Another adventure into the realms of house, and this time round It's turned out much higher quality than the previous upload. I think I'm getting over production anxiety and getting back into a swing, especially with the controlled use of reverb, which usually can make or break a track if overdone. Nice and simple build up with steady progression was the aim!

[Showcase - Deep House] "Reflections" [V2#] [Updated ⚡]

Genre : Drum n Bass
BPM : 170

"November 1999, Music 2's just dropped, and it's massive!..." PSM Review.

☯ Been chatting away in a Discord group centred around the music series for the PS1 for some time and been blown away that there's been a little following tucked away on the net.  I wanted to re-visit the game and have a little jam! Christ, I spent so many hours filling up memory cards with what I thought was absolute bangers back then as the sounds of over driven kick drums and piercing melodies blew out of a small Toshiba TV unit, small pleasures!

I initially tried to boot it up through actual hardware and my own physical copy of Music 2000 , but sadly it was suffering too many crashes, hang-ups and disc read errors so retroarch was the next best thing to play around with. Mind you, PS1's are pushing 5 years away from being 30!

All bugs, hiccups and glitches are left in for charm, It's nothing sensational as there are people who can twist and turn music 2000 to sound absolutely off the wall! But, It really does make me miss a simpler time when music programs didn't make you worry about being too precise! And with all the years of using mouse setups and software far beyond, I think I've still got the touch.

[Throwback - PS1 - Music 2000™ 🎹] "Breakdown 99'"

Genre : Hardcore Breaks
BPM : 150

"Wow, what a start! This is just what I wanted to see!...."

☯ Some of the first uploads I ever put out on the net were often reviewed and compared to titles like Ridge Racer, SEGA Rally , Daytona ,  the early codemasters Colin McRae series ,  TOCA and a lot more. I couldn't help but smile every time I saw a comment mentioning that, I was a prolific player of fast pace racing games during the rise of CD based consoles so anything I heard was going to be a heavy influence. Been needing a good jolt of serotonin lately, and I thought why not just go with an upbeat 150 roller!, Used a Happy hardcore sound kit for the piano riff, processed some Music 2000 samples for good measure and worked around nailing that middle nineties' signature sound when it was blowing up on pirate radio, rumbling warehouses out in the middle of nowhere and slipping into games at home.

[Release] "Construct" [Preview 🎧]

[NOTICE 🛑] : There were a lot of tracks cleared and wiped from here as it seems SoundCloud has been hijacked by a lot of bots and spam, current uploads are nowhere near the amount of music I've produced over time I'm just hesitant to upload anything when all its getting is scam links by fake profiles. Sort it out will ya'!

Welcome to Saber Audio!

Old Idents : MattTracker / XJMatt / Jemini / Break Junkie / XJ

My music ventures began when I discovered Rebirth back in 1997 along with Octamed/Protracker on an AMIGA 500 and DOS Setup, as well as console based titles such as Music™ for the PlayStation, kept music production as a hobby ever since. Most of my influences heavily derive from a lot of underground artists and video game studios around the late 80s , 90s. A lot of my sounds are currently produced using FL studio, although I am well seasoned with other software and jump back and forth between FL / Ableton / Reaper / Renoise / Modplug. 

Been featured in various projects over the years and had a few releases on independent labels and internet platforms.
