drum n bass tunes

[Bootz]

7-C Inc. create some ace drum and bass tunes which you can download from their site: http://www.breakbeat-terrorism.co.uk/

The two tracks I've done vocals far are called Hesitate and Time Machine (although Time Machine will appear on the website later next week). These were written by Fallout.

But if you want a listen you can download them from here:

omg bootz those are great

where'd you learn to sing like that?


You sound like the chick from Enya :D (that's a compliment!)

Did you record your tracks separately, remotely (ie at home) or did you go somewhere to record it?

[Bootz]

recorded them at home yeh. He will send me the lyrics and a sample midi/audio track which has the melody notes so i get a rough idea of how it goes, but he gives me loads of leaway (however spelt) to do what I like with the lyrics + tune.

I write my own material too, but yet to finish those as a whole track.

[Elbonio]

have you had any training or experience singing before?

[RocketKnight]

I really like Hesitate, good stuff. I must go and grab some more drum and bass off the network now. :)

[Elbonio]

yeah that was my fav too!

[Bootz]

well i've grown up with music really, playing piano, guitar, flute, and my degree was in music technology.

I'm not that keen on singing, as my voice doesn't vary much, and its not very powerful.

Here's some of my actual work:

Two of them are low quality tests, incomplete cos I never finished the tunes.

One is a uni project, the other was for a friends gaming website, using cs samples.

I'm a very big DNB person and know quite a few of the people in the business, my mate DJ's for technique recordings events in derby before big acts(grooverider on friday next week) so i get to meet people.

Not really sure why i said that, wanted to make it clear i live and breathe DNB so i'll grab these and have a listen, i'll send em over to a few mates too who'll give their opinions!

ahem.

[Elbonio]

i know jack about DNB - i'm a rock muscian really but i know the quality of the singing is pretty good.

As for the track as a whole i havent a clue :p:

[Bootz]

one of my fave tunes is this one (http://www.breakbeat-terrorism.co.uk/audio/fallout-chainmail.mp3)

using the music from battlefield, seeing as these guys game too.

[Elbonio]

just got the ones you did

I like the "cubase SX project" Is this it's title? If not, why not?!!

the piano on it is great. We have a Korg Triton Workstation and an audigy platinum pro with Cubase SX

Must have a go at it...

[Elbonio]

oh but yeah your tracks (pressed post without meaning to!)

I also think soul drifter is superb - is there a "non-organ" version of it? the guitar on it is beautiful.

couldnt play the other one? wouldnt play for some reason....

Since hearing those tunes i went in search of a online drum and bass radio station and found one.

Its free, streams at 128Kps 44Hz you need winamp for the stream

My fav is Hesitate too, I'm not the biggest D&B fan but i've had the song stuck in my head all day, it's superb. Your voice sounds great in it and all the others, are you going to finish the tunes you did yourself? Soul Drifter is well chilled! Thanks for sharing them! :)

im hardly a D&B fan at all (metal/rock/alternative here), but Ive always loved synth music (i.e. Amiga MOD stuff) which this stuff seems to draw some inspiration from...

Time Machine is really cool, and Bootz, u rock... :)

Update:

The Hesitate samplepack was relased recently, and here are a couple of remixes of the track:

I quite like the Spor & Torin remix. Nice key changes and spacey melody.
