D&B breakbeat re-creation time! I've been obsessing over this old J Majik tune on Metalheadz again because it's one sick tune in many ways and pretty much embodies so well what D&B is to me. I've always liked its intro beat which truly is like nothing else. The drumloop is clearly Soul Pride by Jame

Join me for a breakbeat house type idea creation session 🎛👌🏻🙂 Been meaning to use this classic hiphop break for years, and I finally heard it again at a restaurant the other day. Been also hungry to get a breakbeat house idea going AND combine that with a bit of Phase Plant wavetable bass design

So I (with some help) have discovered a whole new break, which, I am pretty sure, hasn't really been used by the breakbeat community much. What's the song and who helped me? Where did I use it before? Well, watch the video and find out! Grab the break as well as Ableton and Bitwig projects before. H

Here we are with the second episode of Breakbeat Of The Month. "Shack Up" by Banbarra is the name of the game: a very versatile breakbeat that can be used for downtempo, DNB, hip hop (as shown in the examples on the video).

This one's been a looooong time coming!

Recently, a DNB producer asked me how could come up with some random happy accidents in his drum patterns. Well, I always program my own quite meticulously, as you have seen. I happened to think of this old Photek method, and wanted to suggest this to him. He was delighted and said it feels perfect

Yoooo! I hope everybody's been mega productive! This period of the year is really good for me in terms of working on bass music and darker vibes and all that – while summer is nicer for hip hop (if you don't know, check out my hip hop stuff as FatGyver on Bandcamp or Spotify). Finished two DNB tunes

Working on another song idea, I wanted to share some thoughts regarding distributing the energy in a song, this time mostly relating to using a breakbeat but also some other song elements.

Hey ya'll! Chopping Science vol. 2 will come in Feb, but peep this! I wanted to share a few techniques in layering drumbreaks. Going thru some plugins and techniques to really squeeze some added tone out of a supporting break while keeping a main break on top. I can guarantee there’s especially one

VIDEO HERE! (no sharing link pls) Today on my Patreon, the class is in session, and the topic is how to play breaks with a tracker. I'm showing FOUR different ways to do it. Trackers and jungle are in vogue, and trackers are really conducive to playing jungle breaks. How to use Renoise is probably t
