Hey mate,
The synth treatment where I am now (@around 3:20) really does the name justice. So do the Guitar stuff ya had too.
Normally when I see that name I think of a bunch of angry Bess, but in this case it could be a number of things.
A Bird's Eye view of a ground battle.
A bunch of people running to escape a tidal wave.
And the length is really fitting for D&B...

Okies, play two= The drums at first kinda remind me of retro synth pop type of stuff. And the way you've got the synth and the percs interacting is choice.
Though again, I'd love to hear the Bass accentuated more (possibly even solo'd,).

To everyone else- yall really should listen to this with a subwoofer to do it any justice!

Thanks for sharing. Later on!

THAT was your 1st time with FL!? Damn man, my first beat in FL was like something a child (a very dumb child at that!) made. Good job.

But good stuff mate, like the synth at around 1:50 the guitar goes sort of well... beats are nice at the beginning, they are lost in the hi hats later though. Needs quiet a bit of eqing and mixing, but other than that very imaginative and creative. well done. BTW this is a mix of genres but nice try for your first DnB track ^.^
check my either honky tonky or testing for jumpy dnb, if you please :j

Very good for a first song, I am liking the changeups. Do you have any experience with other programs prior to FL? It puts my first fruity loops song to shame.

Not really into Drum n Bass but sounds like a pretty decent effort for your first go,fruity loops is an excellent program,I thought you jumping around a bit much without sticking to a particular theme,I really liked the intro though that was quality.But I'm not a drum n bass expert!

More like trance with that lead, you need more bass. Check out my track called "Fatal Syntax Error" for a better idea how DnB sounds.

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 : 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 : 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.

Description : Hey Gang

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.
Write a lot about sleep. Understand it through the language of music.
