Here's a bit of breakbeat tomfoolery I've been working on:
Be interested to know what you guys think.

im pretty much in agreement with lucifer on this
needs layers the beats are good but its been done so many
times what you put over it has to stand out more than the
beats imo

I don't know he has done a pretty good job. This is some of
the best beat programming I've heard on this board in a
while. I agree the sounds over the top could be better. But
he has done a very good job. This is funky but needs better
notes definitely. This is definitely some of the best shit
I've heard from a board member for a long time. 10 out of 10
on beat programming alone. Well thought out beatz nice job.

nobsmuggler,

Been done before. Most people no offence to them can do
beatz for shit. They sound unfunky and quite frankly there
are very few people who can really beat program. Japes has
definitely got skills when it comes to beat programming.

Nicely chaotic, but replace the synths definately.

With drum'n'bass/drill'n'bass/kill'n'bass music I want my
ass kicked in most cases (unless you're some kinda
professional and can manage juggling fast beats with
melody), not let off with some pansy crap (not that your
effort is crap, just unsatisfactory).

Superb beat programming...it has a real energy about it.
Needs a nasty bass line though to go with it. I notice it
is the Trace Amen you have used, I think you could do with
his style of bass as well :D

People have got hype about some pretty mediocre stuff on the
Board in the past. This is the first thing that has really
impressed me for while. But agreed a nasty ass bass would
just top it off.

calm down darlin just me thoughts i never said it was no
good in fact i said it is good but needs more its that
simple
if you listen to any artist who creates good beats eg aphex
there is plenty of melody as well
and the lists of artists who have used the amen esq beat is
massive i wouldnt know where to start

I think if you are an old drum and bass head you ride on the
agression and energy of the beats, because at the end of the
day that was what the music was all about. I can see how,
if you don't come from that background the track might sound
a little sparse.

i think the track is a little dry. it's kinda sterile. i'm
not really into straight beat programming so it doesn't
really do it for me. the sequencing is good, it deffinately
sounds like you were very meticulous about the beat
arrangement, but ultimately i don't sense any soul in this
piece. i think if it had some more melodic colorful
layers i would like it more but that's just personal
preference.

thanks for sharing though.

Cheers dudes (esp. Promo).

There's some stuff on www.zebox.com/japes I did from a while ago,
and I've got a CD available to buy from Norman Records. My
site is http://klatch.co.uk. You can find some info there. I will
chuck more tunes up at later dates.

Oh and Shitmat's working on some remixes of my stuff,
hopefully for release on Mu.

The synths are actually me trying to play my Dad's old jazz
clarinet. It's apparently more than 100 years old.

Cheers for the advice though. I'll try chucking a nasty
Dillinja style bassline in there.

Having heard it a few times now I think it works fine.
Definitely a nasty bass would make it cooler but I don't
mind it the way it is either. Its a fairly complete track in
itself and thats good because so often people just put up
little bits of track without much structure which gets
boring.

i'm not a fan of this sort of breakbeat cutup (with some
exceptions) but technically it works pretty well. i'd like
to hear more of that clarinet, and more elaboration on the
melodic elements. maybe a little too much like a genre
exercise at this point, but if you like the style, well
done.
