This week's prompt was to create a track of "gabber ambient" (two very opposite musical styles!)

I had two different ideas on how to approach this, so I ended up combining them.
1) Make a gabber banger and then process it into ambient music (via time-stretching, pitch-shifting, adding reverb, delay, etc)
2) Make an ambient track with a relentless gabber kick, but keep the kick muffled/gentle/and distant

Here's the gabber banger I threw together:
https://soundcloud.com/triermusic/gabber-sample

The first idea first appears in the track, the second idea is the B section, and then the first idea briefly appears again to bring it home.

The first sound you here is my gabber banger run through Michael Norris' Spectral Dronemaker.

That is supplemented by the sound of the sound of the gabber banger slowed to a third of its original speed (with the pitch changing as well), and using Klevgrand's Gaffel to split it up into four frequency bands, and then applying different panning and processing to each band. There are a lot of frequency sweeps and echos going on. 

I did some arranging of this part - occasionally a higher-pitched version of the first sound will fade in and out, panning from L to R.

The B section is just a gabber kick run through three different fx chains:
1) First, the kick(!) is run into Norris' Spectral DroneMaker and then Ableton's Resonator
2) Second, the kick is run into Ableton's Resonator and then Spectral DroneMaker (see what I did there?)
3) Third, at the end of the B section, the kick goes into Ableton's Spectral Resonator and makes little wind chime noises.

Then the processed gabber banger from the first section shows up for a brief reprise.

The name is an anagram for "gabber ambient."  The timbre of beanbags seemed fairly appropriate.
