IJO: Drill n Bass Mix | Experimental Drum n Bass

Подробнее о видео

Decided to put together a short mix of some of my earlier experimental drum n bass / drill n bass stuff. Most of these tracks were recorded between 2004 - 2010. The mix is not consistent as my music was all over the place. I didn't have any hardware at the time, so I was just making music with a computer, utilizing a different set of software to do different things. I was heavily influenced by Aphex Twin's "Drukqs" and Squarepusher's "Go Plastic". I am sure this can be easily spotted. I loved very weird and noisy energy in my tracks. I was pretty young, and I thought this kind of stuff was somewhat rebellious and against all the typical pop stuff I was hearing around me all the time. I also think, that this music was way too forward-thinking for its time, especially in Lithuania, where I had lots of gigs, playing my stuff out, and people just standing or sitting on the dance floor and staring at me play. Things changed once I moved to London in 2006. People seemed more in to that stuff while I did my LIVE sets.

Production wise - I loved using Fruity Loops for writing my break patterns, I loved stuff, that's always changing, which took a lot of time to edit. I would manipulate my drum stems in Sound Forge manually time stretching, adding reverb here and there and all sorts of manipulation. I would import those breaks in to Cubase VST32, where I would write melodies using various VST instruments and then mix it all together, using only faders, I didn't do any EQ or compression.

I wasn't very confident when it came to showing my music to others (except on my LIVE sets), so I would sit on some tracks for years and years, until I finally released them.

The cover photo was taken in 2009 in London with a vintage Hasselblad film camera.

All of these tracks can be found on my Bandcamp:
