The Browning A5 Designed Sound captures the distinctive, rhythmic roar of one of the earliest successful semi-automatic shotguns. Designed by John Browning and introduced in 1902, the Browning A5 features a unique long-recoil operation system, setting it apart from later gas-operated shotguns. Chambered for 12-gauge shells, it delivers reliable firepower with a smooth cycling action and a characteristic mechanical “clack” between shots. Its iconic humpback receiver design makes it instantly recognizable. The A5 served hunters, sport shooters, and military users for decades, prized for its durability and dependable performance. Throughout both World Wars, variants saw combat use, especially in trench warfare and close quarters.

The Browning A5 Designed sound demonstration uses 5 random “OneShot” sounds for close distance. After that, you hear the reload sound. Next in the same demo, you hear 5 random “Dist_OneShot” sounds for far distance. All sounds in this preview are unprocessed, just like in the library.

The MG-42 Designed Sound captures the fast, thunderous rhythm of one of the most iconic machine guns of World War II. Introduced by Nazi Germany in 1942, the MG-42 quickly gained a fearsome reputation on the battlefield. It fires the powerful 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge at an extremely high rate of fire—up to 1,200–1,500 rounds per minute—earning it nicknames like “Hitler’s Buzzsaw.” The weapon uses a recoil-operated mechanism and belt-fed ammunition system, allowing sustained fire with rapid barrel changes. German forces deployed the MG-42 in various roles: mounted on tripods for defensive positions, on vehicles, and carried by infantry with bipods. Its design emphasized reliability, ease of production, and overwhelming suppressive firepower. The terrifying sound of its high-rate burst became instantly recognizable and had a strong psychological effect on enemy troops. Post-war, many nations adopted or copied its design, leading to successors like the MG3.

The sound demonstration starts with three combined layers: “Start”, “Loop” and “End”. Then it plays four randomized “OneShot” sounds for close-distance fire. After that, you hear the reload sound. Next in the same demo, you hear the distant sounds. These include “Dist_Start”, “Dist_Loop” and “Dist_End” layers, followed by four random “Dist_OneShot” variations.

The Mosin-Nagant Designed Sound captures the deep, powerful report of the legendary Russian bolt-action rifle. First adopted by the Imperial Russian Army in 1891, the Mosin-Nagant became one of the most mass-produced military rifles in history, with over 37 million units made. It fires the 7.62×54mmR cartridge, known for its range and stopping power, and feeds from a five-round internal magazine. The rifle features a robust bolt-action mechanism, a hardwood stock, and iron sights calibrated for long-distance accuracy. Soviet snipers such as Vasily Zaitsev and Lyudmila Pavlichenko famously used scoped versions of the Mosin-Nagant during World War II. Its ruggedness, low production cost, and battlefield effectiveness earned it global recognition. Variants of the rifle served in dozens of armies and appeared in conflicts throughout the 20th century. Even today, the Mosin-Nagant sees use in training, hunting, and in some active combat zones.

The Gewehr 43 Designed Sound delivers the sharp, precise report of the German semi-automatic rifle developed during World War II. Introduced in 1943, the Gewehr 43 combined features from earlier designs like the Soviet SVT-40 and the German G41 series. It fires the powerful 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge using a gas-operated, short-stroke piston system and feeds from a detachable 10-round magazine. The rifle offered increased rate of fire and ease of use compared to bolt-action rifles, improving infantry firepower on the battlefield. Its wooden stock and metal components create a solid, reliable platform, while the rifle’s mechanical cycling produces a distinctive, rhythmic sound. The Gewehr 43 was deployed primarily on the Eastern Front and saw action in late-war battles. Though produced in smaller numbers than other German rifles, it influenced post-war semi-automatic designs.

The MAS-49 Designed Sound captures the clear, sharp report of the French semi-automatic rifle introduced in the late 1940s. Developed by Manufacture d’Armes de Saint-Étienne, the MAS-49 fires the 7.5×54mm French cartridge and uses a gas-operated, tilting-bolt mechanism. Its detachable 10-round magazine and semi-automatic action offered French infantry improved firepower and faster follow-up shots compared to traditional bolt-action rifles. The rifle features a solid wooden stock and a simple, reliable design optimized for ease of use and maintenance. Widely used in post-WWII conflicts such as the Indochina and Algerian wars, the MAS-49 proved effective in diverse combat environments. Its mechanical cycling produces a distinctive sound, characterized by crisp bolt movements and a controlled firing report.

The SKS Designed Sound delivers the crisp, semi-automatic crack of the Soviet SKS carbine, a weapon that bridges the gap between traditional rifles and modern assault rifles. Developed by Sergei Simonov in 1945, the SKS fires the 7.62×39mm cartridge—later made famous by the AK-47. It uses a short-stroke gas piston system and features a ten-round fixed magazine, usually reloaded with stripper clips. Designed for reliability and ease of maintenance, the SKS served as the standard service rifle for Soviet forces in the immediate post-WWII era. Although quickly replaced by the AK platform in the USSR, the SKS remained in frontline service across Eastern Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world for decades. Its solid wood stock, folding bayonet, and distinctive action give it a recognizable profile and sound. The SKS excels in mid-range accuracy and rugged durability, making it popular among hunters, militias, and military forces.

The Sten Gun Mark II Designed Sound captures the harsh, metallic rhythm of the most widely used variant of the British Sten series. Introduced in 1941, the Mark II was designed for maximum simplicity, fast assembly, and minimal cost during the height of World War II. It fires the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge from a 32-round side-mounted magazine and operates on a basic open-bolt blowback system. The Mark II features a removable barrel, a tubular steel receiver, and a wireframe stock—resulting in a weapon that was lightweight, compact, and ideal for mass production. British forces, Commonwealth troops, and European resistance fighters all used the Sten Mark II in covert and front-line operations. Known for its rough handling and occasional reliability issues, the weapon still gained a reputation for rugged utility.

(1st Hook)

Tryna' go Turks & Cake

Dessert out in the UA
Dubai take 1 or 2 bae
Slide 1 2 3 way
Slide on to freeway
For Riky I pour Rose  
Bombay like day-to-day 
Moving like place to place
Not a safe space no way
You know it ain't safe in SA

(1st Verse)

Dirt on my name and I ain't forgot 
I'm in the gym for jump and the shot
I'm 2 locked in not in no box 
I'm in the office I'm Michael Scott 
She need a boss calling the shots 
Schedule a Thursday slot for a thot
Shirt off shaking twins is on Toss
Rolling putch straight outta Potch
Potchefstroom shrooms in her room
Dirty doobs get me a broom 
Thirty pair of boobs in my view
Friends came through & times em' by two
A drug or two indulge in a few 
Late get blown I gotta short fuse 
Beef gon' stew I'm calling the broers 
O T T straight to the moon

Them shots taste like liquor 
Take your pick I'll paint you a picture 
Don't want OnlyFans or no filters 
Overseas It's foreign in interest 
Now you gotta pay for my entrance 
better be a bigger bag when I exit
My account every time I check it 
More money in here then when I left it
Now I keep on swiping this debit 
Orders right to where my complex is 
Get on that bike & bring me my breakfast 
Pick up my Pick and Pay & Checkers
& you know I'm saving up extra
Need more M's then I can measure 
Stuck on broke the ultimate pressure 
City of gold I'm pressing for treasure

Room check in let's order some food
I'm in the mood for Pepper Goat Stew
Sitting outside observing the view

FLOODLIGHT
DNB AID FOR JAMAICA

Hurricane Melissa, the most powerful storm Jamaica has ever seen, made landfall on Tuesday 28 October and continued to rage on for six days. With wind speeds of up to 185 miles per hour, Jamaica was still recovering from Hurricane Beryl, which struck in July of 2024.

Over half a million people lost power to homes and business premises, with parishes under water and buildings collapsed.

Over 70,000 farmers lost more than 100,000 acres of farmland and the lives of 1.25 million farm animals.
The total losses in agriculture were estimated at J$29.5 billion to replace.

As of now, there are over 90,000 households displaced and 190,000 buildings damaged, with an estimated cost of $10 billion to replace. Nearly a third of Jamaica's annual wealth has been wiped out.

The Drum & bass community all over the world have come together to help

FLOODLIGHT: DNB AID FOR JAMAICA will drop on Bandcamp Friday, 5th December and 100% of the proceeds will be sent to Jamaica to help go towards rebuilding what has been lost.


With almost 100 artists contributing. the album will be priced at £10 min. Please purchase a copy on Bandcamp to help.
