17/05/2024 - New EP; Call And Send
Some more Jungle/Drum and Bass for you with this three-track EP there was another one but it got vito by my distributor but bare with me as I’m reloading it for another EP or album coming real soon…probably lol. I called it Call and Send as calling and sending is an old pass time and is based around a phone call with the start, middle and end of a voicemail call the process I mean. They are all old tracks I made around 2019 to 2020 when I was making a lot of good Jungle and Drum and Bass and I thought they were good enough for the major releases and to rerelease as a major release available on all major music platforms. It’s funny as the tracks weren’t based around a phone call at first but were of various EPs I made so it wasn’t until now when I looked at the track list names and thought of the idea of it being a phone call. Also, it’s a follow-up to one of my unreleased EPs called Cold Caller a synthy EP I made and can be found on my paid Bandcamp and Soundcloud page. As always if you didn’t know by now I use Splice.com for all the vocal samples in this EP and some good ones really came out good I think, and one off the internet also which I can’t remember where I got it from it could also be from Splice.com. For the basses, I used a Reggae sample pack which has a lot of good clean and dirty dub basses which are an essential mix for making a Jungle/Drum and Bass track or I could have got them off Splice.com as I was using more of their bass samples more often around that time but I do like that sample pack it makes the tracks more the way I like it to sound bassy, old skool/new school and siny. It’s also funny as I hate speaking on the phone and to strangers, you always get the cold callers and the pre-recorded messages about double glazing, solar panels or something tax-related. But I hate speaking on the phone it makes me nervous even though sometimes I actually can do it I have to know you to fully have a conversation with you or to break the ice which is what they are actually good at doing so I don’t know what the fuss is lol. That’s why email is the best form of contact for me I don’t know why I just don’t like to speak on the phone or even worse on the live chat although one day I will be there but for now, I’m going to sit myself down and have a nice one and a cup of coffee.. ahh! The first track Leave A Message is an upbeat rave track I made sometime in 2019 to 2020. I used a voicemail message or what they call a footnote on the track “The number you have dialed is not available at present please check the number and try again” You know that dreaded message looks like someone is playing hot potato lol. I like the bass on this one and the vocal sample chop-up of the ringtone and the voice footnote which I actually can’t remember where I got it from but it was definitely a find. The next track Leave A Message (I Hate Ya) is the response to the first track on this EP and one of my overall favourites that I made so far and off this EP. I like the pickup in the middle and love the vocals I used especially the hook and the pickup of the track which is in the middle when it changes. I also like the dramatic strings I used in the pickup or when it changed to more of the furious dance session. I would say this one is for the club and to be played loud and is good release music. I got the vocal samples from Splice and I like the last vocal the most which I think makes the track into a good old-fashioned underground track. The last track The Reply (You’re Cray Cray) is the response to the last track and what the other person who received the voicemail said. It features me and I used my own voice and an adlib I quickly said down the microphone and made it around 2019 originally. It’s another favourite on the EP and I like the frantic synth and bassy bass over the pitched-up vocals of mine which I chopped up and made something out of. It’s another one to dance to and for the rave or to have loud if you like but not too loud lol.  Â
