Saw you on the forum and just knew I had to visit again.
Well,this track nearly blew my speakers and eardrums but,wow,what a masterpiece.!!!!
You are one of my favorite people here and I am now as deaf as Stevie Wonder but so privileged to be on the same site as you!
Mate you had me hooked on this one right from the start, very interesting track and so enjoyable, excellent clarity mate, something little diff for you but still has your signature sound to it at the same time, if was fav button, it would have been hit...excellent work matey...Peace Mos formly Estefano/ELSD...
Ok so I was reading through my comments and realized that the last comment I left you was a bit off and I didn't even leave you a proper review on the track itself.
I apologize for that. I suffer from what you call "sleep deprivation" or should I say insomnia. So I might be listening and writing something, and my mind is somewhere else.
So now that that's out the way.
This is a cool track. Arrangement and levels are on point. That pop-pling type sound and bassline worked well together. Every time I would hear that part It would make me feel like I was trying to run or escape from something or somewhere. If that makes sense.
I also liked the way you faded the sounds in and out. I don't know what else to say. Sorry again for the last review. Peace man.
So very sorry for the late reply! I've been getting caught up on reviews! I really appreciate your in depth review of this song, and it makes me happy that you liked it! Thanks for coming back for more!
I saw the title, and I just had to take a listen. You're right, cigarettes are dam expensive! Especially here in NYC. I'm not an expert in Drumstep but I don't judge a piece of composition by it's genre.
I go by feel and emotion because music is about that. If it comes from the heart you can relate to it. Btw, thank you again for stopping by my page. I really appreciate it. Peace.
I'm a big fan of stuff played in minor keys so i just had to bag myself a copy of this. Cigarettes are bloody expensive, So is everything else. This tune gets me thinking about the demise of capitalism as it all implodes in on it's self and although it's a dark track i find that image strangely satisfying.
This is a great tune mate. Enjoyed from start to finish.

I really Liked it although it's really my style but really love the bass and the synths you used .. Love the vibe that it has kinda of a groovy but at the same time a dark vibe to .. But anyways I really enjoyed it !
Usually when I hear drum and bass it is at 100 mph so this is quite unexpected. I like the tempo, it opens it up for some cool experimentation with the bass. I like the vocal pads you used, subtle but still effective.
Yeah I like drumstep because it works at the tempo of drum and bass, but uses a half time feel. Gives the song some breathing room! Glad you could get into my first try at a genre. Thanks for the comments friend!
Nice track! I really like that groove you have goin on with the bass, really goes well with the drums and hh's. Like the choir pads, and the little vocoded parts are a nice addition too!
Great job, this would have been faved if the option was still there!!
drum step eh, new one on me my friend. after listening to this track tho, im going to look more into this genre :) great sounds as always man, keep up the good work
To the song title: Depends on which brand you get. I'm currently circling 'round the sub-generic stuff (like a poor & desperate Vulture's tumor). Though, $40 after tax is still kinda steep (shrugs).
Moving on, I really love the globby/slidy bassline on here. And the inaudible computerized voc-sam. Though I dunno if I'd class this as D&B (in a classic sense, atleast, eh, who cares, let the purists figure it out). Its def creative, and I dig the randomness & minimalism you got goin on. Cool stuff man. Lates!
I'm glad you could get this song! Thanks for listening and stuff! I know it's not DnB but that's what I've seen people classifying drumstep as, so I just went with it. Not technically dubstep either. Thanks for your thoughts!
first off, love your tracks, they are always so inventive. like you always seem to take weird things that normally wouldnt belong or some kind of sound that really isnt musical and turn it into something unique.
in this case i would definitely use the word inventive. i mean its a very simple track that for the most part loops around but its not like beating a dead horse, ya know what im saying? like it doesnt get boring. it has a dark sense to it but with a piece of something brighter. which kinda makes me think the track name really goes with it.
.
cigarettes are expensive and unhealthy (dark) but coming from a smoker i can say that there's a sense of love for the habbit(brighter side) its a weird analysis i know right? XD
but in my own way it makes sense
.
anways, i like the bass, its deep, has some sub bass to it but its also got a dirty overtone that creates a really cool effect. the different sound effects really add character to it in away i could only expect from you.
.
im glad your back on looperman and i hope your here to stay because hearing your tracks is something inspirational and thats the truth!
.
much love bro and i hope to hear more
Thanks so much for your thorough review! Sorry for taking a while to respond! I'm glad you could catch the dark and light side of this track, as that was definitely the intention. I'm happy that the track didn't bore you. Thanks so much for listening and commenting!
Love how this one worked out. And yes cigs are expensive and despite all the hell I went through, it is best to quit... I feel better anyway. - Anyway nice tune to relax too.
Nice one dude! Really like the feeling that this track deliveres.
Love the electronik sound that drip in excelent. Great work! Do continue with drumstep :D.
Peace!
Nice! Love this one Spiv, keep busting em out;) I agree, Cigs are expensive lol Im trying to switch to an Electronic cig to go with my electronic Music;)
Sorry for the late reply! I'm glad you could get into this one! Yeah cigarettes are a bitch, I switched to cigars. Thanks for listening and commenting!
some really good ideas brother... the pads need some work to really sparkle at the top end... maybe adding some chorus and/or panning nothing too aggressive some nice a subtle.. the bottom end also need some work... maybe cutting that kick below 70 hz and adding something in there as a sub element you know?
the atmosphere is perfect for sure.. for me I would add some extra delay on some those elements maybe even again Panning... just to add on that sonic scape you've created
the drum track is a bit repetitive but that can be fixed in a heart beat ... so I would go on about that
don't get me wrong I really enjoyed it ...it is also minimal.. loving the synth sounds in there like feedback through a broken speaker....

A demand here, a demand there, do this, do that, things going wonky or all happening at the same time. It's overwhelm but it's excitement, it's crazy but it's also very real.

Description : About five years ago I made a dubstep track called Labyrinth Of The Absurd. This is part 2. Check out part 1 if you haven't yet. This is a Dark D-n-B. Or whatever.
I used Serum, Massive, Sylenth1. I used no presets, and no prefabricated loops. This is all original content from scratch. The only exception being the vocal samples.
Description : Ambient breaking into dnb I guess. All loops (except for 1 synth by my 7 yo daughter) so I can’t take much credit for this. Free demo loops from Loopmasters and LM loops from:

Description : 170 BPM drum 'n' cell epic. That's drum 'n' bass with lots of my layered, lead cello playing. It's both banging and chilled out, with intricate basslines and soaring, melodic cello parts. Instruments: electric cello, piano, three synth basses, two synth pads. Drums are loads of drum loops supported by a few programmed acoustic drum kits. It's fast and powerful stuff but there are also two deep grooving half tempo sections. No guitar so anything that sounds like it might be is, unsurprisingly, cello. This was fairly hard to make and required a lot of hard work. It's still far from perfect, especially the rather abrupt, unimaginative ending (I couldn't think of anything better). Have a good listen and then consider leaving me some fascinating feedback. Not much drum 'n' cell about so I like to think this is worth checking out...
Description : This track uses lyrics written in Morse Code, with tempo and pitch adjustments to fit. I’ve also programmed some Morse into an analog synth part.

Description : So ive been listening to alot of dnb lately, and i decided to try my hand at it. It turned out to be alittle more chillout than I wanted it to be, but I still like how it turned out.
A ambient type of DnB track, one to make you think, Second attempt at the DnB genre for this year, again apologise to Drum and Bass artist, guessing again not your normal DnB.Used flute Rhodes Piano, and a few other bits to hopefully get the feeling for the piece I wanted, along with a few break beats/bass lines and FX etc...
Please comment/review and the favour will be returned...
Description : Merry Christmas to everyone, and thanks for all your downloads. This song is from 2016 but is here in this christmas. Thanks to Raphael29 for this great loops. Have a nice day and enjoy!
Description : Hey guys,
i wanted to share with you my track
with the "last year DNB Drums" that i uploaded a while ago.
i know its not finished and polished,but it sounds simply good :D
Let me know your critics!
Well,this track nearly blew my speakers and eardrums but,wow,what a masterpiece.!!!!
You are one of my favorite people here and I am now as deaf as Stevie Wonder but so privileged to be on the same site as you!
Lots of interesting sounds and rhythms on this one. The dub step sound you have created is the most original one I have ever heard.
Well done buddy!
Cheers, Slap...
