Listen To Degenerates Breakfast Drum And Bass Song By Thephilosofist | Looperman

27th May 2017 00:11 - 8 years ago
Description : An almost completed mix. Feedback is most appreciated.

Recorded from my MPC1000, two separate stereo outs (drums on one, instruments on the other). Various hardware synths used to create each sound -- all sounds resampled.

Former looperman uploader StarTropix fed me the drumbreak via his Alesis SR18 into my MPC. I then chopped it up.

Definitely like it; I wish I knew how to fabricate my own breaks and add all the cool effects. Keep it up.

Youtube what the structure of breakbeats are. Learn to use a sampler or a software VST with sample capability -- it's really pretty easy when it comes down to it. Start practicing making 2 bar loops that sound like a beakbeat, record it to an audio track, and chop up the audio track for your sampler.

Most samplers/VST's have a "repeat" function that you can make those drum rolls with. If you can map the velocity of a sample to your attack, then you can have sort of ghost hits. I'm sure I'm not explaining it properly, haha. hit me up on soundcloud if you need help. www.soundcloud.com/circa_tree

Oh man, listening to this song while seeing those names who have commented already, it's like a spiritual feeling! This is the loopercrew, I guess.

This is one of the most hardcore (not genre but realism) things I've heard on the loop in quite a while. I love the noise floor, I love the tempo, I love the performance! After more than 5700 comments on here, I can honestly say that I've rarely heard a song like this posted to loooperman. Digging it, and listening again now!

Your songs go into the past, as if they didn't happen, in a similar way to a substance. I suppose that I could refer to them as substantial. This is meant completely as a compliment!

Possibly, if I had not become so obsessive, I would have been able to create things like this. It's never too late, and that is inspiration calling. Thank you for that.

Amazing tune! Another fave! I hope I find this if it is ever available for download.

"Substantial" -- that's a cool perspective to hear. I appreciate the time you take to really listen to the music and give a solid and unique point of view. Thank you :)

Would love to have a chat on facebook sometime soon, hit me up.

I agree with Ed about the eq differences between the instruments, seem to make them stand out and pop in the mix. Could hear this with an action vid like skateboarding or surfing or some kind of extreme sport.

I don't listen to much drum and bass except for here but this seems to me to be a little more laid back and less aggressive than most dnb songs I hear. I like it because it is different, maybe more "pop" sounding or "mainstream", not to be taken in a negative way but more towards where a folk/rock guy like myself can appreciate more than the hardcore dnb fans would... if that makes any sense, lol.

Good to see old faces around, so few left it seems.

Cheers!

Thanks Wayne. I appreciate that you hear the meticulous EQ-ing, haha. Also glad that you think this is an accessible piece of music, I really try to harness pop sensibility without sacrificing artistic integrity.

Glad you enjoyed!

Cheers to you as well

Its creative stuff...I can`t claim to have been a DnB fan but I have listened to some mainly for some of the innovative synth sounds (mainly pads) that seem to come with the genre...Nice fat subby bass in this one that contrasts well with the higher synth stuff...Upbeat kind of vibe and couldn`t we all use more of that....nicely done...Ed

Thanks Ed! It's validating to hear you speak about contrast between the low and high ends, I've been focusing on that in my mixes recently.

I've only very recently been exposed to drum and bass (started listening to guys like Aphex Twin and Squarepusher 6-7 years ago), so maybe that shows through in how I create tracks that fit into the genre. Interesting observation :)

Glad you enjoyed.

Sounds like drum and bass from an innocent, if that makes sense, no feeling of hatred or discontent, something rare in the genre. That's not a negative impression mind, it has a chirpy/happiness to it.

Soft. Unusual.

Not sure what I think of it.

Description : The Rock Chick that has everything but happiness. What happens when pressure, expectations and the ego get in the way. The irony of the success you wanted, changing into your undoing, so you feel stalked by your fears. We thank Rasputin and Darren for their loops.

Description : 180 BPM ambient drum n cell. Melodic electric cello playing over dnb drums (all fast except for one 30 sec section). Drums are all manipulated loops. No acoustic drums so also no cymbals, just for a change. Various synths, plus some interesting sample-based sitar parts in the second half. A fun, far out track that feels like it should be deeper and better. Let me know what you think, good or bad.

Description : Sometimes I love taking our great singers out of their comfort zone and placing them in a completely different genre. This time, it's Callmedezz, for whom I've created a velvety soft bed of sounds for his rather powerful voice, making sure the women feel comfortable after light is switched off :-)

Description : So ive been listening to alot of dnb lately, and i decided to try my hand at it. It turned out to be alittle more chillout than I wanted it to be, but I still like how it turned out.

A ambient type of DnB track, one to make you think, Second attempt at the DnB genre for this year, again apologise to Drum and Bass artist, guessing again not your normal DnB.Used flute Rhodes Piano, and a few other bits to hopefully get the feeling for the piece I wanted, along with a few break beats/bass lines and FX etc...

Please comment/review and the favour will be returned...

Description : Pure melodic Liquid Drum & Bass

I got my start in the industry (As in paid artist/music label) with Liquid DnB, it's a nice thing to go back to every once in a while. Especially remixing such fantastic vocals.

Description : Two months have passed, and since then I've had some rest and made my first two tracks using MilkyTracker.
This is my second song. Another is called Winter Night.
I dedicated this track to a dream I had in my sleep on 17/01.
