24/11/2024 - New EP; Shake Something

More house vibes with another four-track House EP called Shake Something. This EP is all about dancing and having fun. Yes, I bet some people have lost their fun side and memories of having fun, but anyway. I love to dance and I used to go to a lot of events and raves and club nights when I was over 18 but I used to go to a lot of events and illegal raves when I was younger and of course the once yearly but now every two years the carnival called St Paul’s Carnival and the once music festival they would have every year at Ashton Court which are both eventful days and nights and a good excuse to get hammered and dance and have fun lol. The festivals are always diverse with live acts and DJ sets with all sorts of acts and music types it really is a show and something I actually enjoy listening to. Dancing is the number one way on how to express yourself and is a form of expression and something you can do with the right rhythm and timing and those steps you learned for a laugh in that YouTube video or something like that. When I was younger I went to a lot of dance schools well I went to around three where I learned street dancing and a bit of everything really. I enjoyed it and learned a lot in those classes about how to shake the assess lol and was a good excuse to express myself I found it hard to express myself and was quite a shy person I still am in a way but I’m not that shy to be honest if that makes sense to you. I used to like to go out to raves and dance with random people it’s a laugh and something that I get my energy from and something I enjoy doing and dancing with my friends too who I went with. It’s what I went out to do and to drink of course like the ad should say always drink responsibly even though it’s hard when you are in the moment and NEVER mix your drugs with alcohol drink water that you can get free from the bar or buy a bottle of water.  The first track is Funny Knot but actually the sort of saying funny not and is a track to dance to and could be played in a rave or at home. Like all the vocal samples I found on Splice.com and I got the drums and the bass from my own collection of samples which I got mostly from Loomasters.com but I cut up the bass to make a one-shot and made my own bass pattern up like I did to all of them. I like the bass and the club feel vocals which I think makes the track into a club hit and something to dance to. It’s a favourite on the EP and I think it’s a good song to have on your playlist or one for your party to get it live and kicking. The next track Chyld Please is another favourite on the EP as I like the bass rhythm over the vocals which again is another one to dance to and have on in the club or have it on your playlist. I called it Chyld please but pronounced Child as it sounded like a child’s voice on the sample so I thought I call it that. It sounds cute and something you can hopefully dance to. The next track French Fever is a follow-up to my other French songs I made as I like to use different languages and French is my favourite to use even though I don’t have any idea what they are saying so if I can get a translation from someone that would be nice and that’s no joke and thank you. The vocals are opera-type singing which I like and I like the change near the end which makes you want to dance and I think is another good one to dance to. The last track Shake Something is my overall favourite on the EP and I like the old-school bass pattern which was a bass loop which I cut up and changed the rhythm slightly. I also like the synth pattern over the club vocals which I love and I think makes the track into something. Of course, this is one to dance to and one for the club it could be played in a club should I say. It reminds me of 80s House with the bass and something I enjoy in House music and I love the vocals which I always found some good ones on Splice.com. I like the end to this track where it get’s more frantic and something to shake that ass to to lol.

19/11/2024 - New Album Release; 6 Pack Remixes Vi

More six-pack remixes of some of the other tracks that are from some of my Jungle/Drum and Bass, UK Funky, UK Garage, House, Experimental, Gaming and Synthy vibes tracks. I went with what I had already using the original file as a template and changing bits and pieces along the way adding new sounds and patterns. I got the drum loops and the synthy stuff including the bassess from Splice.com and the loops I had already which I bought from Loopmasters a long time ago but they always come in handy to quickly get the show on the road. For the vocals, I used samples from Splice.com and as you know by now if you follow along with the reading it is my go-to place to get samples for the tracks I make including basses, vocals, drum patterns including breaks for those Jungle/Drum and Bass tracks, synthy stuff like keyboard sounds and synthesizer sounds, one-shots of all the range and so much more. I am impressed with Splice as they have the sounds to elevate your music to the next level and I’ve been using them for a while now and still, they churn out those grooves that hit the spot. As my other Seagate hard drive is broken I had to use my newer tracks but when I get back onto my other computer my laptop I will be digging up some much older tracks but ah there isn’t nothing wrong with remixing newer tracks but I do like to spread them out like legs lol. I have a special folder of tracks I made but never got released so I might be digging into that folder to find some good ones to bring to life and remix them as well who knows I feel like making some music now but I have a lot of stuff to do and a backlog for my websites but I think I’m nearly done. The first track Monkey See Monkey Do – Remix is off my And Along Came Alice EP that I released not so long ago. It is a chilled but vibey number and is good for just chilling or doing whatever you are doing. I like the synthy sound over the sine bass and the dramatic strings that serve as the chorus which is my favourite bit on the track. I changed the sounds and the patterns making something new but I did keep some elements in there to make it sound the same but different from the last one the original track. The next track Chyld Please – Remix is off my Shake Something EP which is also out now and available on all major music platforms. The track is danceable and one to dance to and turn up just a little. I like the bass and I like the vocals too which  I used heavily on both the original and this one the remix. I like the end which I like to switch it up a little and bring in more stuff and changing rhythms to something you can shock out to. The next track Nay Sayers – Remix is a slight variation to House and has breaks on the track which I added for something a bit different and it went together so I thought what the hell why not? It is off the And Along Came Alice EP that ‘s been out for around two weeks now. You can easily use this to get fit or step to and reminds me of being on the dancefloor or in the gym not that I ever go to the gym but I was a gymnast so I was always near the gym or near aerobics lessons. I like the ending when there is a different bass and there is a slight variation of the persistent pattern that plays out along the track. The next track  Blew Horn – Remix is off my One Man Band Album. It was an experimental album I made around a year ago or under a year ago so I decided to add one track from my experimental album which I’m glad I did as I like the results of this track and think it’s more summer vibes when the weather is hot and sticky or on a cold icy day when it’s just snowed in the morning kind of feel to it. I found the trumpet sample on my free sample and sounds go to website Pixabay.com which I cut down to size and added filters and other things cutting down the file into different variations and sounds to make the track and it’s one of my favourites on the album and I like the filter trumpets I layered which took a lot of work but I used the same file as the original track so it was half done for me as I picked up where I left off.  The next track Shake It In Rotations – Remix is off my Shake Something EP and is my overall favourite on the album as I like the change half way through and the club feel to it. The track is a variation to the first track the original track which I added a synthy sound and changed the bass and other sounds also making slight variations in the patterns. I went manic at the end bringing it to a close and it gets busy with lots of vocals, synths and pressure. It is a dancing track and one to turn up a little bit and dance until you are done I hear club vibes so this could be played in a club or at a rave event or even mixed into a mix and I mix a lot of my tracks so trust me they are good to go. The last track Manic Dramatics – Remix is off my Like A Cow In The Night EP that was a Jungle/Drum and Bass EP I made a few years ago now. This is another one for the club/rave and something to turn up a little and dance if you feel inclined. I used the same bass well bass 1 but I changed the other bass and pattern for a new track but again made it sound the same but completely different from the original track.I would say like this whole EP it would also make good background noise for your parties or me time too.
