Yo. I had to comment again as Beardyman is just such a musical genius. What a coincidence that you recommended that BBC radio clip. I had just watched it the day before as I regularly check for new uploads of his incredible live performances.

He's one of the greatest improvisers out there and such a natural comedian and also one of the best going. That track Timey Wimey from your link was amazing. From the presenter suggesting he sounded a bit Australian, he very quickly had a great didg loop going and then the killer beat kicked in. And he's a great improvisational lyricist. He can write some pretty good songs in real time, which is such a difficult skill.

So many other clips of his that I could suggest though make sure you check his full show in Seattle. Some of his rapping in that is really badass. He's also a great rapper as he can accurately sound like a whole load of other great rappers. Great reggae singer too.

The big shame for me (and I'd tell him this if I ever met him) is that he hasn't actually written and recorded a quality album of original material. He's got just one album and it's not very good.

But make sure you listen to his Don't Look Back In Africa song as it's one of the cleverest and most alternative cover songs I've ever heard.

I could witter on and on about Beardyman forever!

P.S. I've been to only two Beardyman gigs. Last one was him performing with a brilliant drummer, two violinists and a cellist. All spontaneous improvisational stuff, as usual.

nice work mate I wish I had your talents :)

So, I have returned - with a little more detail.

You mentioned to me recently a 100BPM track so I guess this is it.

When the fat beat kicks in, it sounds like you're using some sort of dubstep kit. But not playing dubstep/brostep style - which I mostly do not like.

1:25 pause and high screech is cool. Then some megabass. It's now much dubsteppier but a good, throbbing rather than just all over the place craziness.

And at 2:05 you have your interesting melody and atmosphere that returns as well as your funky little bass so it's really quite musical.

2:43 drowsy lead

2:52 changes in note/chord that is a good bit of movement rather than dubstep wobbling about on one note.

Gotta bring that beat back in so you do. My only real complaint regarding the last section is that it doesn't really add much to the track. It's just a repeat of a previous section though it is good so that's OK. Just would have preferred some new element or new presentation of previous elements.
Overall excellent Great work.

Finally, here's my favourite musical performer and insane musical comedy genius giving you a bit of vocal-made d'n'b and dubstep. He's got way better stuff than this, including killer whole shows but I know you're gonna like this one.

Nice intro and enjoyable groove throughout! Congrats!

This is really interesting to me, throughout it I feel this frequency vibration that remains constant throughout. The glitch elements are subtle in a good way, and are mixed and effected very well. I kind of like it man, very fun listen!! faved!

Hi man. Cool, teetering-on-a-precipice intro and then an unexpected bassline.

I really like this, especially the groove, and am surprised by the blend of sounds so am making it a favourite.

Much more detail from me tomorrow (not enough time right now) so a very short comment from me here.

Until then, well done!

Great EQing, mixing etc. The bass sections are really kicking on my system. Sounds very polished throughout. Nice job.

I reeeally like that beginning. The bass was perfect. Really nice groove, awesome track
