Battle Plan For The Future 🥁

Almost daily I receive messages or see posts from music producers struggling with the same damn issue, how do I get beyond the 16 bar loop stage and finish more tracks?

Last month I touched on t...

Make Arps and Sine Leads like the 90s Jungle Legend Artemis 🌙

Thanks for the inspiration Daniel! Turned into quite a fun video in the end, looking forwards to finishing this track off next week.

Have a great weekend everyone! ☀️

Hotpants Mega Break Instrument Video Walkthrough 🥁

Just a quick video showing how I put together the Hotpants break instrument this month. I'm not sure I was 100% clear but in the section at

Just a quick video showing how I put together the Hotpants break instrument this month.

I'm not sure I was 100% clear but in the section at 6:48 when i'm talking about the two versions of the hotpants. You can program all the midi with the break...

Hotpants Mega Break Instrument 🥁

I'm really enjoying the process of spending an entire day focused on one break and turning a simple drum loop into one of these massive break instruments! Each break lends itself towards little adjustments in the processing & FX making and the Hotpants in no different.

One of the biggest gripes I have with this break is that shaker/tambourine element can get quite bright and annoying....

Guess What Time of Month it is?

Hotpants Mega Break dropping tomorrow 5pm! 🔥🚀

Big ups everyone! 🙏

Renoise Jungle Template (Native)

For a while now I've been slowly thinking about the best way to build a Jungle Template for Renoise. I really want this to be a great starting point for anyone, not just beginners to see the potential of the DAW and how creative you can be with the native FX! 🧨

This entire template has been made with Native plugins in the newest version of Renoise 3.5.2.

The goal of this templat...

Finishing Music

This is an area that is without doubt the biggest problem most of us face in our journeys as music producers. As I write this, I can 100% guarantee that each and everyone one of you (me included) has a folder of 100s of unfinished ideas and tracks that will probably never see the light of day. Some of these tunes also have great potential, like beautiful sculptures that are left unfinished.

Upcoming Feedback Stream with Human Synthetics 📩

Hello everyone again, double post from me today 😊

I've mentioned this a few times but I've got a upcoming feedback stream with Alex (Human Synthetics) on the 30th of July.

90's Jungle Session on the Digitakt mk2

This was a pretty relax video where I just turned the camera on and jammed out with a few samples. I think pretty much all of these were taken from packs I've given to the Professional Dj & Record Label Owner tier. 💎

It's such a great practise when you need a little inspiration. Dig around for 10-15 samples that fit within a similar style or theme. I often go for mystical & atm...

Think Break Mega Instrument 🥁

Holy moly this one has come straight out of the Groovin Headquaters smoking hot! 🔥

This month, I've continued to push the boat out and experiment further with the idea of making the ultimate break chooping instrument for each of these classic breaks.

If people are interested in how I processed the Think here, I followed a very similar workflow to the 2025-07-11 16:00:25 +0000 UTC View Post

Coming soon 👀

You know what time of month it is ...

Drum Break Processing (Patreon Exclusive)

After the blog post last week, I thought I would be a cool idea to show how I process breaks from start to finish. 🥷

This is essentially the template I use to take all breaks from their original tempo up to DnB speeds.

It involves:

• Pitching the break up/down into the Akai for crunch via sample rate reduction.
• Subtle clipping also by driving the 'rec level' ...

Drum Break Processing 🥁 

As I’ve been doing so much drum break work at the moment, with a forthcoming 90’s style breaks pack well under way, I thought this would be the perfect time to go over a bit of break processing.

This is a topic that can be very confusing, especially for beginners as there are so many tools that you can use & everyone has their own methods.

What I have done over the years i...

Amen Break Mega Instrument 🎹

Every now and again I get inspired to do something entirely tedious to set up but completely epic once it's done! 😊

I preset to you my Amen Mega Break Chopping Instrument. 🥷

I did a post a while ago referencing the Sully Renoise production video where I talked about the old school method of setting up your drums as one big program, just like you would on old hardware sampler l...

Making a DnB Track From My New Sample Pack (pt3)

I'm really excited to wrap up this mini Patreon series on making a track from scratch using the Echoes of Light Sample pack in Logic. 🌌

I've deliberately left this one a bit loose to show the full process of arranging & lots of the trial and error that takes place.

Once you've got your 3 different 32 bar loop sections (Intro, A Part, B Part) most of the work from this point o...

My Experience with Tinnitus & Hyperacusis as a Music Producer

I thought I would link this up here as it's a bit more of a casual/private space if anyone has any questions or their own experiences to add.

Even reading through the YouTube comments that have already come in, you can see the impact tinnitus & hyperacusis has on so many people lives. It's certainly a tough thing to deal with mentally and for sure the biggest lesson from all of this ...

Atmospheric Jungle Pads

As much as I love break chopping and sampling records, there’s one topic above all else that seems to attract the most interest on my channel and that is how to make atmospheric jungle pads. 🏝️

For a lot of these classic tracks, the pads are really the standout feature where much of the nostalgia & warmth come from. All the other elements need to wrap around this core harmonic ...

Making a DnB Track From My New Sample Pack (pt2)

Hello again!

I’m back with the second part of the ‘making a DnB track from scratch’ series in Logic just using the Echoes of Light sample pack. 🌌

This session is all about building out the depth of the 3 main sections before we go and arrange them into a full track next time.

Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the sun :) ☀️🏝️

Making a DnB Track From My New Sample Pack

Hello everyone,

Quite a relaxed video this time as I've been quite under the weather post run!

This video with be a 3 part series for Patreon going over my process for building out a track.

1. Creative ideas stage (First 1/2 hours of production).

2. Developing the initial idea and adding more depth and variation.

3. Stretching out the arrangement to a full track....

Rules Are Made To Be Broken: Experimental Sound Design in Renoise

This one turned out to be quite a crazy video to make! From the demo's to the next Gen of Ai (Midjourney, Runway, Eleven Labs), animations, edits & sfx. It was really fun to push my skills to the limit and see what I am capable of.

On a different note, sadly the PFM video has been completely removed from YouTube thanks to the lovely people at Future Music. I tried to disput the case o...

Sully Renoise Interview

I watched all of these last night and thought it was super cool to see some of his workflow inside of Renoise! It's such a dope program & I love it get some exposure on RA 😊.

At 9:44, the technique Sully demonstrates for his breaks is well-known and is still probably the best way to achieve intricate break chopping, especially when working with multiple breaks or ones that have a l...
