A collection of demos from my free VST Vocoder which I put togther using Romplur something I use to put the VST togther and Gimp for the photoshopping. I left the link in one of the buttons below if you want to check out the plugin and it’s for Windows and Mac. I used my own voice and then I used the Vocoder by Artuia to change the voice into something more applicable and I love that plugin you really get some good sounds from them which are useable and makes the track into something special and the great thing is you can add your own samples by dragging and dropping the sample into the slot so it extends warrenty for quite some time and means it can be different from other people’s who may of used the same vocoder preset. I get bored making the same genres over and over again so I made a bit of diffrence on the EP and also to display the many possibiltites you could have with the Vocoder as I think it’s quite verstile but is good for upbeats tracks. The first track Alive (I’m Glad To Be) is a Electronic music number and something I quite like for it’s quirkyness to it and the chorus vocals which I quite like. I like the ending and the create the future vocals with the end vocals to pan it off to the end. The next track Don’t Judge By Cover is a House number and something a bit more upbeat and outgoing. I like the first vocals and the chrous vocals which I think goes well together and the second chorus vocals is my one of my favorite ones I made as I like the warmness to it. It’s one of my favourites on the EP as I think it’s something you can dance to or have on and enjoy with the levels up.The next track Satisfaction is a Synthwave number and I like the bass to this one something light and space buggy. I also like the vocoder vocals which enhances the synthwave feel to it and something I like to listen to and hopefully you do too. I also like the end vocals another favourite on the vocoder and brings more bounce to the song which makes it another favouite on the EP. The last track Name Please is a Jungle/Drum and Bass track which is my overall favouite on the EP and my overall favourite vocals on the Vocoder. I like the bass over the vocals it’s something I could dance to or have on loud for sure. I didn’t add too much synthy stuff on this one as I liked it with the bass and vocals so I kept it as it was which I think sounds alright.
Tomorrow Will Come is a 4 track UK Garage EP I made not so long ago. I called it Tomorrow will come for some positivity and I also just thought it would be a good name for an EP title. We’ve all probably seen our darkest days if you haven’t sit down and enjoy the roller coaster ride but hopefully, the darkest days have gone. In my lowest days this is what I thought that tomorrow will come so please hold the line. Like all the vocal parts I found on Splice.com and for the drums as always I used my own drums I found from my packs which I bought on Loopmasters.com another good source for loops and one shots. I haven’t made much UK Garage so I thought I’d make some and try to make some more club bangers along the way or something to have on in the background or party whatever. I have made a few and still got the feeling of UK Garage so it was good to go back and make some more and have it as a release of mine as the stuff I did before was all unreleased stuff and can be found on my Soundcloud page if you are interested but good luck finding them. The first track I Saw It is a club hitter that hopefully gets you dancing and could be played at a party or in the club or a mix for whatever you like. It is a favourite on the EP and I like the vocals over the bass and drums which I actually got from Splice.com thinking about it now. I also like the bass at the end which finalizes the track and brings it to an end. I also like gushy cute vocals at the end too which are all from Splice.com. I either got the basses from my own collection of basses or from Splice.com but I like the bass for the first track too it’s a clean bass and a sine I think a good shape to have for the bass and fits with most projects. The next track As We Go Round is my overall favourite on the EP and I love the vocals it really makes it clubby which is what I look for in my vocals but the vocals are my favourite thing on the track and are fit to rave out to and dance till you can dance no more. I think the vocals make the track into something you can listen to more than once and make you jump around like they say in the song. I like the ending too where it gets more frantic and something to dance even harder to. The next track Shorty Don’t Give It Up is another favourite on the EP and once again I love the vocals which make the song into something you can repeat and also play in the club or party or something to blast at home. I also like the bass which is an old-school pattern found in UK Garage and is a favourite pattern to use. I called it Shorty don’t give it up as they don’t give it up they are whores of Babylon I tell you every two minutes anyway. Once again I like the ending where it gets more frantic and something to shock out to or dance even harder than before. The last track Bugged Out is another one I like on the EP as I like the vocals and the bass like always I like all the drum patterns I found on Splice.com a good source to found some really good sounds. Once again it’s something to dance to and like all the tracks on this EP you could put it in your own mixes and also playlists for whatever you like but it’s good for parties and also the club.
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.
A mixed bag of House and a Jungle tracks that I made recently and was a single as I felt like doing a single I haven’t done much of them only the odd one or two so I decided to make one for fun and put it out on all the digitals and more summery music for the nice weather. It’s been so nice I got my fan on it’s been a hot night, to be honest, but thank goodness for the fan lol. I have more club tracks lined up like this and I think it’s a massive improvement but I let you be the judge of that when they are released within the next two weeks but should be less than that, or alternatively go to my Soundcloud page the link is in the top header menu with all the other socials. As the title reads love isn’t just a thing and it’s not a game either I hate to see people in misery cos they mistreated the person so love them right basically and that does count me as a person why not. We have all been in love I remember one person I won’t say her name but I thought we would be together for eternity but it wasn’t meant to be we were on both different paths like she wanted to settle down and live dare I say normal lives and I also loved the excitement and a bit of change every now and then so that was one thing and the main reason why we dare I say again fall apart but it didn’t end sour which is always a good thing. I bring that up as it was at that time I realised that love wasn’t a game and even though I have seen many car accidents when it came to love it dawned on me when I was around 15 that I was to take it seriously or have no love at all. Turns out other people wouldn’t take it as seriously as I did but hey we were young and dumb so it’s all in the past but if I was married with kids that would be different…sort of. I’m very picky with what I do and for example who I will have kids with if I will ever have any at all which I doubt but there were times when I nearly did and I was always careful it was the right choice again turns out that wasn’t the right choice to make for me and I enjoy being single with no ties and kids and being in a relationship does that and I like to be free and do whatever I like without the hawking and the arguing etc, no remain single and be happy every day without all the stress anyway I enjoy being alone but I do admit I need some more friends to bounce off from and do random stuff and talk about random stuff that would be nice in a way but for now I’m happy making music and doing this and that online that makes me happy but love is a serious thing and shouldn’t be treated as second-hand luggage but of course choose who you fall in love with friends or other and love does include your friends even though I find it hard myself to say this words “I love you” there lol but love is here so everyone stop whining about love doesn’t love me I hate the world cos that isn’t going to get you back in motion and I like to prepare for the future.
Getting ready for the summer with a 4 track House EP called Just Another Day as at the moment my life is quite boring and not have much activity apart from doing the music and making various stuff which I have put all on this site. I’ve said this a few times but life in the 90s and 00s was a lot more fun and there were a lot of things to join and do, now with all the funding cutting and the multiple disasters including the terrorist attacks life has changed quite a lot but we seem to go back and forth at the moment with stances and various of groups joining and declaring themselves x, y, z but hey that’s a different story. As always I don’t know what I’m doing this summer I want to get out more and I haven’t got a dog and so I barely get out, to be honest, I went out the other day and it wasn’t that long of a journey around 20 minutes on foot but walking up the hill on the way back I was so tired but I was glad when I got back. It reminds me of the days I used to go on two to five hours walks sometimes all night I once walked from Bristol my home town to Wales and they had Welsh signs and that night was a long one and my feet were hurting like crazy and I woke up with my back of my legs feeling numb I wasn’t on anything lol but I love walking in the night time when it’s quiet and it gets the dog out and I used to enjoy walking but now not so much but I will one day. But yes who knows what I’ll do this summer I’ll definitely be making more summery tracks like House, Chillout and other summer tracks I might even do some reggae but definitely some more Jungle/Drum and Bass as I seem to make a lot of that and that all can be found on my Beatport page I’ll post the link below the player where it always is. Thanks to the people who are buying and streaming the tracks on a variety of platforms, I’ve nearly earned £11.00 and have been getting quite a lot of streams on YouTube Music I hope you like the tracks and thanks for your support it means a lot to me since I am a one band man and do my own fancy moves. I will be making more synthy stuff as well but don’t know when though who knows.
Another House mini-album of remixes from some of the songs I made that was House, Jungle/Drum & Bass and synthy stuff. I wasn’t going to release it but I liked the tracks and thought why not so here they are. I do like making remixes and will be doing more remixes in the future as I have lots of files of my songs I can re-edit which is what I like to do. I was going to do another Remix This which is songs of other artists which I remix but I felt like remixing my own as I said I have lots of files I can open up and edit and most of the tracks have been released already at some point but I swapped artist’s name so they aren’t on the internet no more but I am putting up the best ones at some point. I also want to start making singles with the original track remix and two or one other song on there which I will be doing real soon as that is something I enjoy doing and means I can do more tracks which is why I don’t really do albums no more and like EPs and singles as it’s more quicker to do then the albums which take some time to do but to be honest not that much time only a couple days at the max. I called it 6 pack remixes as there are six tracks nothing much to it really but I want to make songs more on steroids but it does take more time to make outstanding tracks but I like them to be honest. Some of the original tracks can be found on my Bandcamp page and can be downloaded for free but I went for the ones I liked not the ones I rereleased so they are random really. I remember the days I was fit and had a six-pack and always was toned I mean I’m not fat just a bit flabby and I was a gymnast at some point when I was younger but now I’m a smoker and sit at home all day on my computer which isn’t good for the heart but I do walk quick so when I walk they say it’s more of a slow jog but it get’s me there more quicker .Â
A House EP or it’s more like a single as there are three tracks. It’s Tech House, House with a bit of Deep House which is the last track on the single. I didn’t really intend to do a single and it was going to be an EP but I couldn’t be bothered to do the last track, I should start making more singles but with more remixes and the original track as I enjoy making remixes with the original track which I’ve done a few times now. I haven’t made Tech House for while now and the last track was in 2017 when I started making music again as I was making music in the mid-2000s but in 2017 I bought FL Studio and a sample pack which is all that I had at the start now I have lots of stuff like synth plugins, drums, and also stuff to improve the sound like EQ filters and hardware filters to scope the sound. I like to buy synth plugins and other plugins and even though they are quite expensive it’s always worth it just as long as they don’t break down also updating them takes some time which is why I don’t really update them that much. When it’s all said and done it’s all down to you or though it’s cool to rely on people I think only you can look after yourself and it’s important to rely on yourself and most importantly keep yourself happy and focused only you can do that and relying on people to keep you happy shouldn’t always be done but spending time by yourself and doing what you want to do should always be put first but having people around is important even though I don’t really need no one as I’m in my own world doing creative stuff and keeping busy with stuff I enjoy doing which is a lot of things actual but all creative stuff.Â
An Acid House EP with one Acid House with Break music track which is the first track on the EP. I was lucky as I noticed on all the junk I bought or all the junk I use IE synths I noticed I had the TB-303 plugin which is the Acid Line plugin and the hardware is made by the music company Roland for those who didn’t know or don’t know what the TB-303 is but to sum it up it makes acid house music and was the chosen instrument for people who made House music and also Techno in the late 80’s to the mid-90s where by around 1995 music had moved and changed again into more soulful stuff or it was around me. Out of the 80s and 90s, I do prefer 80s Acid House and I like the fact they only used it in parts, not in the whole song like most 90s Acid House where people just wanted to hear the B line with the drums and vocals over it but they would do with just the instrumental as people loved to hear the new sound or new at the time sound the sound of the TB-303. It is a shame the illegal raves circuit is no more and is now illegal to have a rave say on a field, for example, I would love for it to still be around as I would be out a lot more but ah that’s life or is it Bistro. The closet I got to a field rave was what I would call the hometown Glastonbury Festival but it still brought in some big DJs and names as this is Bristol you never know what’s happening but it’s been quiet for me for over a decade now I need to get out more and live a little it’s boring being stuck in doors all day.
