Bandcamp News – New EP Release; Drum And Bass Remixes

 I haven’t made many Jungle Drum and Bass vocal remixes so I thought I’d make some and give it away as a free download as there are copyright issues with all the tracks. I got the breaks and the other stuff from my favourite place to find samples Splice.com and the vocal stuff I got from various places but you best believe they are bootlegged lol. I also used the Reggae Sample pack for the basses and the synthy stuff which I found on Loopmasters. The basses and the synthy stuff are one shots which I made my own patterns with using my go-to DAW FL Studio.I didn’t care for the breaks too tough as I like my breaks frantic and I couldn’t be bothered to rummage around looking for the right samples so I used the one put in front of me but they are okay I suppose. I started with Living Dead (Dead Meat Drum and Bass Remix) as I heard a drum and bass version in my head so I thought I’d try and make something from the samples I had already and start something new. The EP would have been another Halloween EP, but I thought I had released enough Halloween content for this year, so I did the first track and dugged deep for the other remaining tracks. I will be making more soon and I think I’m going to make this a running thing of Jungle/Drum and Bass remixes of other people’s songs. I might even start making Jungle/Drum and Bass mixes if I have enough I know I have a few released stuff that can be found on my Spotify page and all major music platforms of your choice. The first track Living Dead (Dead Meat Drum and Bass Remix)  is from the 1968 film Night Of The Living Dead which I sampled a few times now. I used a lot of delay and rearranged it slightly for difference and two basses which can be heard near the end of the track. I like the end of this track and I think it goes well with the beat but isn’t my favourite on the EP although I do like it quite a lot I could have done with more variation but it’s alright and is one for the bar or outlet places. The second track Diggin’ On You (G.N.L. Remix) is from TLC’s Diggin’ On You and I actually had half of the sample when I was making samples for a later date so I thought I’d download the other half with something in mind and finish the track. I like this one and is one of my favourites on the EP as I like the bass and synthy stuff over the vocals which I downloaded from an acapella site and I don’t even know if it’s legal. I think it’s very sitting-in-a-bar music or something you would hear near a bar on a beach and is also radio-friendly which you can’t beat a good old radio-friendly track. The next track Mary Jane (G.N.L. Remix) is from Rick James’s Mary Jane song which again I downloaded from an acapella website. I would say this isn’t a favourite of mine on the EP as I think it’s a bit plain but never or less it’s still a good song just to have on in the background with whatever you are doing but it could be for dancing but I think this one is for chilling. I do like the ending which I think it gets interesting and is where it gets busy for a second before bringing it down several notches. The last track Wake Me Somebody (When It’s Over) (Drum And Bass G.N.L. Remix) is from Four Top’s track Shake Me Wake Me (When It’s Over) and is another favourite on the EP as I like the bass and the delay on the vocal which blends the track nicely. I already made a House version with the same song so I thought I do a times two and make a Drum and Bass track using the same track which I think turned out quite well. Again I like the end which I think is danceable and something to rave to or blast in the car or in your home but not too loud lol.
