Description : Continuing in the re-upload project, this was originally my first upload here on Looperman in 2012. I wish I hadn't lost the vocal files or I'd go back and remix the percussion to be louder in the mix. If I had more room here, I'd tell the backstory to this. It's kind of neat. Anyhow, enjoy.

It's as magnificent as all the others man. Its kinda crazy to realize that there is more of your work for me to experience. I do so with reverance, my friend. If u have the time one day, itd be awesome if u tell me the full story behind this one. I read what u mentioned already about the female musician etc, and that this was your 1st upload here. (I wish I still had my 1st upload, but it's gone forever due to a stolen laptop some years back. That song has a story too)
I'm still waiting to collaborate with you in some way, man. Itd mean a lot to me.

That sucks, man. The stolen laptop and the missing song. I feel for you. It's bad enough when your own stupidity deletes a song, but to have it stolen. That stings just a little bit more.
As far as collaborating, now would probably be the best time. I don't have any projects that I'm diligently working on at the moment. I mean, I have an entire folder of WIP but, meh...I'll get 'em later. I'll get a hold of you over on Discord about that.

Thanks, man. This is the one that really kicked off my usage of dubstep elements in my tracks...without it being dubstep.

I'm glad you dig it. Thanks again.

Take care.

Dark and foreboding, just how I like it. There is still room for dubstep to become more creative. After disco was emaciated and popized by the rec companies. It fell deep underground in Chicago, Detroit New York, Berlin, London, and Manchester. It became a whole other animal. You are at the forefront of being that innovator mate! Do it!!

Man, if I thought I had any impact on the direction of dubstep, I totally would. But I know my fame goes no further than the featured list on Looperman. And even then, it's faded from what it was back in the day. Nah, I just make wubby bass tracks with a metalhead background. When I can actually get into it, that is. I've been having a hard time staying with a track long enough to see it through. I have about 40 starts, and none finished in the last year. Everything from metal to cinematic, to dubstep, to some freaky ass industrial noise experimentation shit.

Anyhow, one of these days maybe, huh?

As always Mr. C. I look forward to hearing from you and appreciate your take on things.

Take care, bud.

Hey - wow - 10 years of making and posting to LM - good on you. And This is a great sounding track, lots of varied instrumentation and kind of cross genre which (in my view) is very often refreshing.
Here's to another 10 years

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

I've never been one to color inside the lines, so to speak. If you choose to check out more of the old ones as I upload them, you'll see what I mean.

At any rate, thanks for taking the time to listen to this one, and also for commenting. As I said, I appreciate it. .

Take care.

Welcome back brother!

And welcome your good old, damned, deep, progressive sound which is only yours ... I'm not a fan of dubstep (but really, is that style still alive???) but from you it's another genre ... those bass gurglings are more than feary ... :-)
that female vocal is the opponent of the "negativeness" of the song ...
it was a good idea to "remake" that early product, but to tell you the truth I didn't hear the original one ... did you upload it?
fistbump, Danke

Hey man! It's good to hear from you!

I don't know if dubstep is still a thing or not. I was on the bandwagon for a little bit, but then decided to take my own direction with it. Once Skrillex got ahold of it it all went to shit.
Anyhow, as far as this track goes, I found the acoustic vocals and guitar part on a girl's youtube video. When I first heard it, my brain filled in all the drums and synths. I asked her if I could "remix" it, and she gave me permission. She had a pretty large following. She went on to become a gaming live-streamer, and then one day. She was gone. All of her content. Gone. Her personal web-site. Gone. She just disappeared. I have one other track of hers that I remixed, but since she disappeared before I could get permission to upload it to the public, it sits in my files collecting dust.

I did upload this. It was my first upload. Not only to this site, but ever. I remember getting excited when I broke 20 listens. Now, my track "Labyrinth Of The Absurd" is the 3rd most listened to dubstep track on Looperman. Funny how that works, huh?

I hope all is well with you, brother. Especially the way the world is these days. Take care, my friend.
Aaron.

Description : Faking! - (Prod. BCI)

My first full song (10+ hrs of work) I've made in years.
I blended in a lot of Splice samples but the idea is completely original.

I know it isn't everyone's favorite genre of music but it's definitely mine

Any feedback is much appreciated

Description : If you're looking for Skrillex and his cronies, you've come to the wrong place. It's not that kind of dubstep. This track opens with a nod to my fellow Vault Dwellers and Wanderers of the Wastes, and transitions into a deep, dark celebration of the Horror movie genre. Some of you will get it. Some of you won't. Either way, I hope you all enjoy it. Thanks for listening. Take care. V.

If the Site Director or whatever is willing to approve me uploading loops, then I will see about uploading the Bass Drop by itself for you to be creative with. Thank you for listening!

Description : This is my new single! It's a little different style than I'd normally go for (deeper and darker), but I really liked the instrumental, which is my HakaN96, and just HAD to do something.

Let me know what you think of it! My mixing/mastering skills arent the best. I put the song under the Dubstep genre (because of the instrumental) but with all the singing i'm not sure if it's more popish or not. What do you think?

If you enjoyed the song please like my Facebook page! I would love to hear from you!

Description : Hello hello! School is finally over so I'll be posting much more now :P Thanks everyone for the loops! I used a bunch of them to which I added some synth, congas and little fillers to make the track build up nicely. Hope you enjoy! ;D
Also if any rappers wanna add a verse somewhere feel free to do it and send me the results! Just put (featuring Charlie Rose) in the title of the song if you wanna publish it.
Happy 420!
