  • Brighton drum and bass producer Friction, aka Ed Keeley, exploded onto the scene in the late '90s and has been a mainstay of the genre ever since. Releasing projects on celebrated labels such as True Playaz, Hospital Records and Renegade Hardware and founding his esteemed imprints Shogun Audio and Elevate Records, Keeley is a true drum and bass heavyweight.
    We met up with Keeley at his studio so he could take us through the nuts and bolts of building a frenetic D&B tune and the producer came through with some invaluable insights.

    Actual drum and bass like this is just so beautiful.. At 10:20 it's just so nice as it is
    Friction was my favourite DJ back when I was into DJ'ing.. His set from innovation in the dam in around 07-08 or something has been a favourite of mine for years but I havn't been keeping up, I've missed so many sets.. Some of the mixes and selection on that dam set are just too nice though

    Big up to Friction for showing us some insight. But I wish the producers would do more with the sound design aspect and musicality more than just the arrangement. I think everyone can hear the arrangement pretty well and there are loads of videos with small details like that.

    great tips here from Friction ...he makes it look so simple .... its all down to using sounds you've processed and have worked well in the past, new producers can get lost in sample packs/folders looking for sounds all day, my advice is to make 1 folder of goto sounds you know work which are good quality samples then your gonna spend more creative energy on the melodic elements of your track... get more techno producers to do this series plz Fact...Phase faytale was more EBM/Industrial techno

    This is actually how most full time producers produce their music. With presets, samples and loops that were created already, either by themselves or others. Thats just how you make music consistently. And I think Friction demonstrates this perfectly. This is how its done folks :)
