Music News – New EP; Rhythm Of The Jungle

4/12/2024 - New EP; Rhythm Of The Jungle
Rhythm Of The Jungle is a four-track Jungle/Drum and Bass EP I made not long ago. I thought I’d make some more since I enjoy making them, they are popular on my Spotify list, and I haven’t made any for a while now, so here are some more. Just to point out the obvious I called it Rhythm of the Jungle as the play on words of Jungle music and the jungle and actually means the heart of the jungle or the motion of the jungle is best describing the title. It’s sad really to know the jungle is being destroyed at a rapid and alarming rate and there’s nothing we can do about it apart from re-educate and protest they say we don’t need the trees but we do and is not only destroying the jungle and ozone layer it’s also killing oxygen and also animals homes who have to rehome and be disturbed it’s sad. Not only that animals are becoming extinct due to the fact of things like deforestation and hunting rare animals but also the tribes who live in the rainforests not forgetting them too. I would love to visit the jungle I loved going to the woods when I had my dog so I imagine it being like that but hot and dangerous or more swampy and dangerous with all the wild animals, insects and other stuff you find in the jungle. I would also like to see a cool temple in the rainforest I saw Indian Jones I just need my hat and light brown shorts and better hope I don’t have to eat monkey brain that’s a joke cos everyone knows it’s monkey foot. The first track The Robots Are Down is a danceable track or one to have on in the background and I got all the bass and synthy stuff on this EP from my own collection of synths and bass and I think it was The Ultimate Reggae Collection which I got from Loopmasters a very long time ago but I still use most of the packs I got for bits and pieces and like all the tracks on this EP I got the breaks from Splice.com all my go-to places and packs when making Jungle/Drum and Bass. I like the ending to the first track with the melodic and more breaks added for that jungle feel to it but overall I think the track is alright and can be played more than once. The next track Let’s Be Real is my overall favourite on the EP and I’ve had this for a while now and made it around 2019 I just came across it on my radio online radio Ghosting Radio and thought I just had to release it to the world. I had some hiccups along the way but hurrah it’s out now. I love the second half of the track with the synth and the vocals which again I found from my own collection of samples which I bought from Loopmasters.com. The track is full of energy and has a danceable bounce to it and the second half of the track makes it into an instant rewind. I do like the vocals on this and think it makes the song into something with the simple synth pattern and that synth I need more of that lol. The next track Manic Dramatics – Alternative Mix is another favourite of mine on the EP. I like basses and the chorus bits where I add another bass which follows the main bass of the song it’s one to bop to and reminds me of strolling down the street in a rushy and frantic way. I made a few versions of this song the original version which was on my EP Like A Cow In The Night which was a Drum and Bass track and then I did a House remix version on my 6 Pack Remixes Series and then this one the alternative version. I must admit I didn’t set out to make an alternative version I added the stuff and I thought this sounded like the alternative version to the Manic Dramatics so I named it that as I liked it and couldn’t be bothered to change it but it sounds alright. The last track Feel The Vibes is another favourite on the EP and I like the bass and the vocals it’s one to chill to and have on in the background. I think the track is quite warm and can be played anywhere and reminds me of sitting at home on a hot or cold winter or summer’s day.
New Album Release; Festive Word Searches
19/12/2024 - New Album Release; Festive Word Searches
More Christmas festive music with the game music from my game I made also called Festive Word Searches and can be found on this website. I used Omnisphere and the V Collection by Arturia for the synths and basses and the Mars collection for the drums which span from Roland 808, Roland 606 and the Lindrum. There are four-word searches and each game comes with a new song and also there is a game over music and you pass music with also the main menu music. The songs are themed with the word search and are linked with the part of the game and there are an original version and the in-game alternative version which was meant to be shorter but they are actually quite long. I wanted them shorter to fit with the game time length but I forgot and made full versions but it doesn’t matter and anyway, I can never make short songs they are from a span of six to twelve minutes some longer than that. I made all the stuff in the game myself and that is what I enjoy doing the most and of course making the music which is my second favourite thing to do but it’s pretty fun making backgrounds, buttons and other stuff I really like getting stuck in and all hands on deck kind of projects it keeps me busy lol. The first track Festive Word Searches is the main theme and is the main menu music in the game. I like the bells and the bass pattern sounds like something you could lounge to and just hang loose. I added bells throughout the track to make it Christmasy and I like the pattern to it makes it feel like a Christmas song or something you could have on around Christmas and also winter as it also feels like a winter song and you are in a snowy field with wild animals running around you. The next track Festive Word Searches – Alternative Version is the in-game version and the alternative to the first original track which like all the alternative versions I rearranged into something a little different removing parts and rearranging the patterns into the alternative version. For the next track What A Saint I used chiors from Omnisphere and the bass from the Mini by Arturia. It’s one of my favourites on the album as I like the swing to it it makes you bop your head and reminds me of 80s Hip Hop Boogaloo music well the bass does. I also like the synths that go throughout it and I think makes the track into something. The next track What A Saint – Alternative Version is the Alternative to the original version with also the same name and is part of the in-game music and is part of the first word search the St Nicholas word search. The next track is Saint’s Sack. I like this one and just like the feel to it it sounds like something you would have for game over music or instructions videos it is also something you could have for a segment for TV or have on in the background for background music. The next track Saint’s Sack – Alternative Version is the alternative version to the original track with also the same name and is part of the in-game music. Like the others, I rearranged it to something different swapping things back to front and taking bits out and replacing them with something new. The next track Noughty Naughty is another favourite on the album as I like the claps and the un-even bass. I like the choir synth sound too the claps come from the Roland 808 which I think partly makes the song into something and is one to chill to at home or wherever. The next track Noughty Naughty – Alternative Version is the alternative version to the original track also with the same name and is part of the in-game music. The next track Drag U To Hell is a dark and dingy track since Krampus isn’t that much of a nice person and drags the naughty kids to hell and even drowns them which I think is quite festive lol that was a joke. I used one of my own plugins for this song and I think it was the Dungeon VST Plugin which I made a year ago now and never used it so I thought I give it a quick whisk. The next track Drag U To Hell – Alternative Version is the alternative version to the original also with the same name and is part of the Krampus in-game word search. The next track Chains is another dark and dingy track. I like the bass and the dark synths which again I found in the Dungeon VST plugin I made and can be found on my other website gasnolight.co.uk It’s a favourite on the album as I like the bass and the synths on top it makes it sound creepy but nice and something you could be dragged to hell with. The next track Chains – Alternative Version is part of the Krampus You Lose music and is the alternative version to the original with also the same name. The next track Spared For Another Year is another dark and dingy song for the Krampus collection of tracks. I like the bass to this one and the other synths make it dark and dingy which I think goes with the hell theme in that part of the game. The next track Spared For Another Year – Alternative Version is the in-game version of the Krampus you win music and is the alternative version to the original track also with the same name. It’s another favourite on the album as again I like the dark and dingy feel to it and the rhythms of the track. The next track Christmas Gathering is a Christmas song which I like a lot. I like the bells and the other stuff also I like the sine bass which I think was part of the Mini from the V Collection by Artuia or it may have been from Omnisphere which I used quite a lot in this project. The next track Christmas Gathering – Alternative Version is the alternative version to the original also with the same name and is part of the in-game music for the Christmas word search. The next track Deer In The Snow is a snowy feel track that reminds me of being in the snow and coming across some wild deer so I called it that. It’s definitely icy and one to have on while it’s snowing and you are indoors or outdoors making snowmen. The next track Deer In The Snow – Alternative Version is the in-game version for the Christmas word search and is the alternative version to the original also with the same name. The next song Christmas Goodluck is another favourite on the album as I like the bells and the claps I like to put claps in my tracks now and then for difference and also I love putting them in my tracks. I also like the bass which I found in Omnsiphere which I think makes it into a bit of a funky track. The last track Christmas Goodluck – Alternative Version is the alternative version to the original track also with the same name and is part of the you win music for the Christmas word search.
