Description : Well this is my first attempt at combining my love of metal & d&b. It sprang from some ideas i had while playing around with DrumCore and messing about with my guitar and the POD Farm plugin, using Live7 as a host.
Edit:I've added a synth part and layered some of the original guitar part in.
2nd Edit:I've played around with the drums towards the end and also changed one of the vocal samples. I've also tried to tighten up the mix somewhat although it does get a little muddy in places.
3rd Edit:It's been chopped! :O Thank you to members who commented ;) Also tried to bring out a little more bass and a little more crunch....aaaaand i've had to redo the mix....sry for another quick update....
Ok I've bowed to the pressure....170bpm....and some extras ;) Soft Synths are from Novation and NI. I've beefed up the kick and snare a little as well as playing around with the rhythm in places.
Another quick update...more bassline...more fx....more snare ;)
This is still work in progress, as usual, comments would be welcome.

This sounds good after you've done some more work on it. The bass is really cool, and I like the samples you've used. Seems like a fun track to mix. Nice work!
EDIT- This sounds even cooler now. Nice fusion of styles on this track!
Thank you! Yeah it's good fun to work on (neighbours probably don't agree) especially working on weaving the guitar parts together. This version should be letting more of the subbass through too which is hopefully being kept under control....really must stop mixing late at night ;)
PRETTY GOOD! REMEMBER ME PRODIGY! GOOD WORK MAN. IF YOU COULD TAKE THE BEST OF THE 7:23 AND MINIMISE TO 5 MINUTES OR SOMETHING, I THINK WORK BETTER! (SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH)
i like this track a lot especially the way the two grooves work together when the guitar comes in and the double-time feel at the end.the ending vamp may be a little long but it ends cool with the guitar part. great job!
The tempo is a little slow for a dancefloor D&B tune, needs another 10-20bpm, BUT I lost the slow groove feel of the guitars etc, so I decided to keep with the 80/160 bpm feel. Thank you for your comments. I hope you'll check out the next version once i get back onto it.
Play 2 now...
Yeah, this was a pretty sweet mix of styles. Though ya might wanna go back n rework the ending because it began to sound a bit repetitive. And was there supposed to be a small silent gap at the beginning? Very creative stuff here though. Thanks for sharing. Later on!
Yeah the ending needs work, I'm gonna take a break from it for a week or so and come back to it with fresh ears...Also the gap at the beggining is just me being very lazy, not editing the final wav file before converting :P Thank you for your comments.
The bass was taken from Live7 as a preset sound(can't remember which one now though), sequenced and heavily distorted using the tube plugin and overdrive in Live7. I recorded that into Logic, split it over two channels and EQ'd so I could treat the mid and bottom seperately. I then compressed both channels and added a phaser to the top end. I was aiming for something similar to the snarling bass sound Cliff Burton used to make ;)
Glad you liked it and hope you enjoy the 2nd version.

Description : Chaos....Chaos ensues when life is unfolding in many different ways all around you. A demand here, a demand there, do this, do that, things going wonky or all happening at the same time. It's overwhelm but it's excitement, it's crazy but it's also very real.

Description : In 2015 I made a dubstep track called Labyrinth Of The Absurd. This is part 2. Check out part 1 if you haven't yet. This is a Dark D-n-B. Or whatever.
I used Serum, Massive, Sylenth1. I used no presets, and no prefabricated loops. This is all original content from scratch. The only exception being the vocal samples.
Description : Ambient breaking into dnb I guess. All loops (except for 1 synth by my 7 yo daughter) so I can’t take much credit for this. Free demo loops from Loopmasters and LM loops from:

Description : 170 BPM drum 'n' cell epic. That's drum 'n' bass with lots of my layered, lead cello playing. It's both banging and chilled out, with intricate basslines and soaring, melodic cello parts. Instruments: electric cello, piano, three synth basses, two synth pads. Drums are loads of drum loops supported by a few programmed acoustic drum kits. It's fast and powerful stuff but there are also two deep grooving half tempo sections. No guitar so anything that sounds like it might be is, unsurprisingly, cello. This was fairly hard to make and required a lot of hard work. It's still far from perfect, especially the rather abrupt, unimaginative ending (I couldn't think of anything better). Have a good listen and then consider leaving me some fascinating feedback. Not much drum 'n' cell about so I like to think this is worth checking out...
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 : This track uses lyrics written in Morse Code, with tempo and pitch adjustments to fit. I’ve also programmed some Morse into an analog synth part.

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...
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 : Merry Christmas to everyone, and thanks for all your downloads. This song is from 2016 but is here in this christmas. Thanks to Raphael29 for this great loops. Have a nice day and enjoy!
EDIT- This sounds even cooler now. Nice fusion of styles on this track!
CHEERS!

I like how you have fused the two genres. A solid beat with that heavy distorted guitar sounds really good. What effects do you have on the bass?
Keep it up!
