He&#8217;s been laying low communication-wise while sorting out life stuff&#8230; in the meantime however, Tim has been secretly rapidly banging out jungle tracks in his spare time, to the order of around 9-10 a week.<br \/>\nA lot of this is down to the fact that, in the time it would take someone like me to pick out a snare drum, Tim&#8217;s already got about 3 minutes of a tune completed. Granted, they&#8217;re no nonsense jungle tunes, not hyper complex neoclassical masterpieces, but they&#8217;re definitely solid tunes I&#8217;d play. Also, this manner of rapid fire tune production seems pretty in-line with what a lot of people were doing back in the day, before everyone had a full studio (eg PC) at home at their disposal to endlessly work and re-work stuff. <\/p>\n<p>For this tune, Tim asked me for a main breakbeat, some samples and one central movie sample. I ended up sending him the classic &#8220;weather report&#8221; breakbeat I sampled off one of their albums, a bunch of hits \/stabs\/vocals I had already picked out for a new track, and a famous dialogue clip from &#8220;Jacob&#8217;s Ladder&#8221; that&#8217;s probably been sampled numerous times before.  Oh, and I sent him a processed sound of a cat running into a glass door, cut from  <a href=\"https:\/\/vine.co\/v\/MgZ3l1AtnOm\">this vine<\/a>. Mainly because we were joking around and I didn&#8217;t think he was honestly going to go through with it. In the end though, Tim sequenced all this stuff together and sent me clips \/ asked for melody ideas while I was writing some unrelated code, and this was the end result.  So yeah, this tune&#8217;s not gonna solve world hunger \/ cure cancer \/ stop kony, but hopefully it&#8217;s a fun little jam for people to download and play over the weekend \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I usually don&#8217;t post &#8220;new oldskool&#8221; on here (new tracks made in an oldskool style), since there&#8217;s other blogs which cover thaose quite nicely: Future Jungle and Strictly Nuskool to name two wicked ones.
