I see zero problem with a track made from a sample pack - one, that’s why they get released, so people can make things with them. Two, a sample is not a song. Legos are nifty, but the end object product is a reflection of the skill of the builder and what they’re able to create.

Which leads me to this track - it kicks ass. They may not be your sounds per se, but your experiment in structure was a roaring success - love how this track flows and the energy it has. The samples were the, er, rotting cherry on top. Excellent work. (Makes me want to go back and use samples from NotLD again, it’s such a fun movie to pull from!)

Man this is track goes HARD... I love the use of dialog samples, and the high mid rangey drone really creates a great sense of tension through the whole track.  Awesome track.

I absolutely understand how you feel about how you constructed this, but let me do everything in my power to dissuade you of the notion you've cheated. valley of the shadows by origin unknown is one of the great dnb tunes ever written, and I will create an entire movement to fight people in the streets who disagree, hahaha.

dig into how they made it. here's a real rough, modern era attention span version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0maq6DjBZQ

but the short version is, it's what you did right here. it's not a billion little pieces put together in a symphony of madness. it's a small collection of the right parts, put together to make something incredible.

and so is this. you've really got the chaos and break forward nature of these kinds of tracks down. if I'd pulled this at the shop two decades ago, I definitely would have taken it home.

total ripper!

oops hit submit too quick. but yeah, great energy and love the way you've brought everything together here!

Thank you, that lego analogy made a tonne of sense to me and helped so cheers   Gotta agree, NotLD is a treasure chest of samples...but if I'm being honest, I'd love to be able to pull things from Day of the Dead.

Thanks, it was fun to put together.  Check out endusers music if you've not heard it before, it's really good.

Oh wow, thank you very much.  And yeah, I see and appreciate your point here.  I'm pretty new to all this so still navigating a lot.  That video short was interesting, I know very little about early DnB/Jungle - I didn't start listening to drum/drill n bass til the late 90's.  Not going to lie though, I'd pay good money to see a DnB street fight

Thanks, it was fun to pile everything up at the end haha

Ooof love the dark breaks in this especially at 2:21 when it sounds like John Wick unloading his arsenal on a nightclub full of baddies.  That gnarly bass at the end! \m/
