25/10/2024 - New EP; 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.

19/11/2024 - New EP Release; And Along Came Alice

Part of my run-along Dorothy series and an Electronic EP I made not so long ago. I should explain the run-along Dorothy is to the people stuck in a fantasy and don’t want the help but rather perpetuate lies and fantasies about you and see every second of the day to make your life misery cos you believe in something different than them and the truth as far as I can see. Anyway, I got the idea for the title and the EP from the Alices in my life as for every Dorothy there’s an Alice and I do mean Alice In Wonderland. They like to hate and act bad bloody clout chasers always trying to copy you and steal your bag and shine but I don’t care as I know what I got and I’m sticking to it bite me. I’ve been listening to a bit of 70s Electronic and I went back to the drawing board with this one adding more bits and pieces to make the track more fuller. I was inspired by the ’70s and 80s Electronic playlist I created which can be found on my Mixcloud but I noticed how full it was so I added more beats and more changes to make it more fuller and I like the results.  I made the drum patterns and used my AKAI MPK Mini MIDI keyboard to play the notes but for the drums, I used the Roland 808, 606, and the Lindrum from my collection of one-shot drums and drum kits which I use on all my Electronic music I make. I don’t use the Lindrum that much but I’m going to make a habit of it in the future as they are good kits to use, oh and I used the Zenhesier 80’s Drum Kit as well for those Synthwave vibes. For the Synthesizers I used the Arturia V Collection and some from the Korg Collection, which again I use quite a lot on my Electronic music and favour them quite a lot. I was also listening to my other Electronic album Rebitten By The Lizard which is one of my favourite Electronic albums I made and also was trying to captivate the same mood of melodic dark and light music and I put this as one of my of my favourites Electronic EPs I made. It’s so unfair as I had a good life before I gave it all up for a simpler life but I was doing a lot of things not to brag or anything just to say how they use that to their so-called advantage and try to eat away at you but the memories are strong and I remember all the good times I had and won’t forget them again in a hurry as I actually forgot about all the things I did in the past and that some of it I was paid for it blows my mind. The first track The Nay Sayers is dedicated to all the naysayers as I said the barn is that way. I hate me some naysayers and hear them a lot online and also in my day-to-day life it really is damaging for your health but please carry on making a twit of yourself. Naysayers is a melodic vibe with a dark bass undertone that I played myself it’s one of my favourites on the EP as I like the melodic synth vibes and I also like the ending where it crescendos into the final. I also like the bass and I used the Mini Moog from Artria for the bass and I’m not sure about the synthy stuff but was either from the Korg Collection or the Arturia V Collection. The next track Alice is for all the Alices stuck in a fairy tale again please carry on you haven’t got to the best bit yet. Alice is a funky synthy number and again one of my favourites on the EP as I like the synthy beats over the bass and drums I made. I like the ending too which I made it a thing to go crazy at the end so please don’t blast it as it probably won’t sound as appealing at a normal level. The next track Monkey See Monkey Do is another one I quite like as I like the simple synth beat over the other melodic bass and synth stuff. I don’t know who opened the gates to the zoo but send them back as I’m tired of these monkeys banging on their chest like I’m meant to be afraid or upset they are so thirsty it’s unbelievable. Like the other tracks I like the ending to this one and I went crazy again adding more melodic vibes over the beat which I used the Artria V Collection I think and I think it goes quite well with the rest of the beat. The last track Diseased is for the sick and needy and is my overall favourite on the EP. They are diseased the lot of them every two seconds they want to add something diseased to the conversation they are twerps I kid you not. Diseased is a jazzy number that is joyful and melodic. I like the first synthy bit quite a lot and thinks it goes well with the other stuff it’s a good track to end the EP and is a ender.

8 Bit Synth One-Shots

September 23, 2024

8 BIT
SYNTH
SAMPLE PACK

I made another sample pack this one is an 8-bit synth sample pack, in which I converted sounds from my DAW and synths I own into 8-bit samples. It was to for the game I made which is a Christmas game and called Elf Quest and that can be found on my other website randomgas.com it’s a platform game. The sounds I got from Omnisphere which I had plenty of sounds to choose from and as it is a Christmas game there are some Christmas sounds in there too. There are only synth one-shots in this sample pack and the rest of the stuff as seen in the demo tracks are from my own collection of samples and synthesizer plugins but feel free to add your own 8-bit drums and bass as it will enhance the 8-bit sound and make it sound more 8-bit. I’ve used some of the samples in my own works and used them on my gaming album to go with the game and I recorded myself making gaming beats with the sounds and that can be found on my YouTube channel or in the G.F.E. Video Hub in the main G.F.E. Hub in the main menu of this site. I used NCH Wavepad to convert the sounds to 8-bit and I also normalised them but some of the sounds need extra volume and maybe a bit of a snip at the start where there is a 3-second silence.

In this sample pack there is;

30 Synth One Shots

Podcast Post – Attack Of The Heart

ATTACK OF THE HEART

INFO

Now I’m not sure if it’s called Heart Attack Hill or if we just made it up but the official name is Star Hill and is just off the Beaufort monument and near the woods called Barn Wood where a headless horse is meant to ride in and out of the woods. Also inside Barn Woods they trees and bushes weave in and out in this weird motion which is said to be quite creepy. I’ve walked in those woods with my dog Patch alone and saw something like that and it also scared me and made me run quicker to the safe zone. Star Hill which might also be called Heart Attack Hill is where I started getting heartburn and is where I sprained my ankle walking on the uneven footpath that leads to Barn Woods. It’s just a couple of strides to the hill but it’s quite steep and breathtaking.

Something I didn’t mention but it’s next to an old asylum that is now been converted into flats. The house was built in 1553 by Sir Richard Berkeley. Rebuilt by Norborne Berkeley, 4th Baron Botetourt circa 1760, it eventually became used as a dower house by the dukes of Beaufort at nearby Badminton House. This included Charles Somerset, 4th Duke of Beaufort (the son of Henry Somerset, 2nd Duke of Beaufort) and wife Elizabeth Somerset, Duchess of Beaufort whose daughter’s obelisk can be found to this date on the hill she died on from falling off a horse. The Dower House from the north-east. It was used as part of Stoke Park Hospital, previously Stoke Park Colony, from 1909. The house closed as a hospital wards in November 1986 when the final remaining patients were moved to other wards, though the laundry remained for a period. The building was sold in 1991 to the Sennett and Neate families who planned to redevelop the house into a nursing home, and it was rented to the nearby University of the West of England (UWE) for lectures and seminars in the interim, while the facilities at the Frenchay campus were redeveloped. The Dower House, Stoke Park is a dower house in Bristol, England. It is one of Bristol’s more prominent landmarks, set on Purdown, a hill above the M32 motorway on the main approach into the city, and painted yellow.
