17/05/2024 - New Single; Dimmed Lights

More Jungle/Drum and Bass music with this quick single I made quite a while ago now and found the original version on my computer so I thought I’d make a single by adding two more tracks. There were actually four to make it a EP but I had to take it off but hopefully I’ll be allowed to add it on another single, EP or even album. I made the original track and the first track on the single in summer of 2021 around and was my chilled Jungle/Drum and Bass track to have on in the summer. It was like you were in a heatwave and you are chilling on a country field enjoying the heat and don’t forget your summer hat ladies lol. I used the synth plugin Omnisphere for those synths sounds, it has some really nice sunny type sounds that are perfect for those summer chill out tracks and also for winter I think they have some diverse sounds on them even though it is expensive but most treasured synth plugins to use for summer and winter beats and you heard it hear first lol. I called the single Dimmed Lights as the first and the original track had that dimmed light feel to it plus I believe she’s saying light all over the track so I added that as well. It’s funny as it’s also was a note to myself to change the light bulb in my life as things were getting dim and I could no longer see in the past no more. As I keep saying it all feels like a blur and  a past memory but so much has changed over the decades and  whilst I was growing. It’s hard to pin point where the fun was really coming from as there was a lot going on at that time and the world was a oyster for talented and business savvy people who ceased the day and hit it big. I also think the government has ruined some things and made it harder to have fun they kept adding new laws which later diminished the fun and all the activity that was going on around the 1980s up to the mid 2000’s when everything capsized so that’s the other reason behind the title Dimmed Lights. This is the last one I’ve made that is up for release so it’s back to making more singles, EPs and albums I think I’ll do another House EP since people like them with more Synthwave and general synthy beats to come in the next couple of months so please stay tuned. The first track as I said was the original track I made around 2019 and is one for those summer barbecues and hot sticky days. It’s a relaxing pace track with melodic chimes and a deep bass with a overlay of House vocals which I used for this Jungle/Drum and Bass track. It’s perfect to have on in the background for any event and is also good for concertation if you are studying or even reading it make you read 10 times quicker as long as it’s not blasting that is. It’s my favourite on the single and I like the relaxing chimes and the vocals over the beat which I think suits it quite well, I also like the bass which helps the concertation of the beat. The next track Dimmed Light (Remix) is the club version and is the danceable track I made around a couple of months ago and is one for those hot days dancing if you ain’t too hot. I used the same instruments changing some of them to make it sound a little different from the first track. I used a Reggae sample pack for those skank keys and also I got the bass from there too and for the piano I used a original House key that I found within the Reggae sample pack but I think it’s quite diverse and was used on both genres. The last track Dimmed Lights (The Break Remix) is another one for those steppers and runners. I think it’s a perfect track to get fit to whilst doing some steps around the house or even at the gym and you can also dance to it as it is a dance track. I arranged it a bit different to the other two using the same vocals and keys as the first one for a step it up track. I think is also perfect for those sunny days chilling in the garden or wherever and I got the breaks from Splice.com where as you should know by now where  get all my samples from but also I got them from my own private collection I bought from Loopmasters.com.
