More Jungle/Drum and Bass music with this quick single I made quite a while ago now and found the original version on my computer so I thought I’d make a single by adding two more tracks. There were actually four to make it a EP but I had to take it off but hopefully I’ll be allowed to add it on another single, EP or even album. I made the original track and the first track on the single in summer of 2021 around and was my chilled Jungle/Drum and Bass track to have on in the summer. It was like you were in a heatwave and you are chilling on a country field enjoying the heat and don’t forget your summer hat ladies lol. I used the synth plugin Omnisphere for those synths sounds, it has some really nice sunny type sounds that are perfect for those summer chill out tracks and also for winter I think they have some diverse sounds on them even though it is expensive but most treasured synth plugins to use for summer and winter beats and you heard it hear first lol. I called the single Dimmed Lights as the first and the original track had that dimmed light feel to it plus I believe she’s saying light all over the track so I added that as well. It’s funny as it’s also was a note to myself to change the light bulb in my life as things were getting dim and I could no longer see in the past no more. As I keep saying it all feels like a blur and  a past memory but so much has changed over the decades and  whilst I was growing. It’s hard to pin point where the fun was really coming from as there was a lot going on at that time and the world was a oyster for talented and business savvy people who ceased the day and hit it big. I also think the government has ruined some things and made it harder to have fun they kept adding new laws which later diminished the fun and all the activity that was going on around the 1980s up to the mid 2000’s when everything capsized so that’s the other reason behind the title Dimmed Lights. This is the last one I’ve made that is up for release so it’s back to making more singles, EPs and albums I think I’ll do another House EP since people like them with more Synthwave and general synthy beats to come in the next couple of months so please stay tuned. The first track as I said was the original track I made around 2019 and is one for those summer barbecues and hot sticky days. It’s a relaxing pace track with melodic chimes and a deep bass with a overlay of House vocals which I used for this Jungle/Drum and Bass track. It’s perfect to have on in the background for any event and is also good for concertation if you are studying or even reading it make you read 10 times quicker as long as it’s not blasting that is. It’s my favourite on the single and I like the relaxing chimes and the vocals over the beat which I think suits it quite well, I also like the bass which helps the concertation of the beat. The next track Dimmed Light (Remix) is the club version and is the danceable track I made around a couple of months ago and is one for those hot days dancing if you ain’t too hot. I used the same instruments changing some of them to make it sound a little different from the first track. I used a Reggae sample pack for those skank keys and also I got the bass from there too and for the piano I used a original House key that I found within the Reggae sample pack but I think it’s quite diverse and was used on both genres. The last track Dimmed Lights (The Break Remix) is another one for those steppers and runners. I think it’s a perfect track to get fit to whilst doing some steps around the house or even at the gym and you can also dance to it as it is a dance track. I arranged it a bit different to the other two using the same vocals and keys as the first one for a step it up track. I think is also perfect for those sunny days chilling in the garden or wherever and I got the breaks from Splice.com where as you should know by now where  get all my samples from but also I got them from my own private collection I bought from Loopmasters.com.   

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.     

I felt like doing some Jungle/Drum and Bass I haven’t done any for a while now so I thought I’d make some. I called it Like A Cow In The Night as I thought it was a good title and also some people are like cows in the night they sleep standing and with one eye open looking out for the wolves but less is said about that. The four-track EP is more rave music and stuff to have on in the background and stuff I like to listen to in a rave or at home or somewhere, music like this. I like to make Jungle/Drum and Bass now and then and is good to have a break from the other genres plus I like to make remixes of other genres and I’ve remixed one track from this EP Close Your Mouth which will be out in the next couple of weeks. It’s a House remix that I quite like actually and is something different but I’ll keep you posted when it is out. If you want to listen to it now it’s on my Soundcloud page where I post everything that I make including my unreleased music and the first place I post so come follow me on there and stay up to date with all the music I make. I used Breaks as always from Splice.com also the vocals which you should know by now I get all my loops including vocals from Splice.com and is my favourite place to go to get loops. I don’t use a lot of I only use drums, breaks and vocal loops which I do this and that with but I like to make the stuff myself it’s just some things sound better like the drums even though I would say I’m an alright drummer. It didn’t take that long to make I made it in the night and took around 8 hours to make two hours on each track. It’s how I get the job done and I always seem to know what I’m going to play or do once I hear the break loop that seems to add certain elements to the track but not all the time. As always I used the M1 for some of the synthy stuff but the bass and also some of the synthy stuff I used from a Reggae sample pack which I like to use a lot in my Jungle/Drum and Bass seems to have the right textures and sounds which I like to use in my Jungle/Drum and Bass which is the Sine wave the original and bad boy of the bass family. There are other waveforms like Triangle, and Square also popular choices for bass other than the Sine. For those who don’t know what a waveform is, it is a noise type generated by an oscillator which generates certain sounds like the Sine is good for bass but also for chime sounds and glassy sounds whereas the square and Triangle waveform is used for Chiptune and has a more harsher sound with the filter on and is screechy but can also be used for basess to. On a quick recap, the Sine wave is more deep and bassy whereas the Triangle and Square waveform is more high-pitched. The Triangle is the most high-pitched out of the three the square is also bassy but has high-pitched sounds which is why it’s also good for basses with some high-end in or high-pitched sounds but not the chipmunk high-pitched sounds it’s sort of like a Cello on it’s high strings mixed with 90s internet dial-up sort of. The first track Manic Dramatics is one for the club and something to dance to if you want. It’s one of my favourites on the EP and I like the franticness of it I think it is danceable and something to dare I say shock out to. I like the bass and the reggae synth which I found on a Reggae sample pack I was on about earlier. The next track I Can Love You is a radio-friendly track that is also danceable and one for the club after dark. I like the bass which is quite bassy and I also like the vocals which I said a million times now I got off Splice.com. It’s also something to have on in the background in your house or whatever and I think is kind of a hype song but is also chilled but still danceable. The next track Every Time is my overall favourite on the EP and I like the Darkness and shock-out appeal to it but again it’s also one for the bedroom or wherever you are listening music to. I used cinematic loops which I found on Splice.com and liked the sounds. I think it sounds a bit mysterious and deep and reminds me of being in a rave dancing 100 miles per hour. I love the breaks on this one they are frantic and choppy which is what I like in my breaks and favour more but I like to vary it with other kinds of breaks for the sound difference. The last track Close Your Mouth is another favourite on the EP. I like the feel of it and feels like you are walking down the street on a nice day. I also like the breaks which are also the breaks I favour when making Jungle/Drum and Bass and think they also go well with the stuff I put in. It’s a nice happy jolly track that is danceable or for chilling with but more for dancing as I like to make music to dance to.
