@@magnafide sorry I was at work all day. I attached a link in another post on these comments. I feel weird taking away from Stranjah since this is his channel. But I did post a link here in the comments 😃 hope you guys like it.
You hit the nail on the head too, when you mentioned all the overlaying textures, helping to add to the overall sound. That is exactly what it was all about. Layers, upon layers of sounds and pads, helping to create the lush, invoking atmosphere, that helped to make that sound as iconic as it is. Definitely mood boosting and vibe invoking stuff. Highly underrated these days. You really need to make more of this stuff. As mentioned elsewhere, you make it look so easy and you can clearly pull it off. More please!
i second more tutorials like these, especially getting to see the little hacks, like with the manual delay by drawing an automation downwards with velocity. your content is gold. appreciate it, i'm learning a lot.
I was actually surprised to find out you aimed for a 163 bpm...only to then check and find out Pehsay 's Piano Tune is 156 bpm. Blew my mind as I've been trying to do this in the 176-178 range. This sounds so so much better. It really does give the drums space to move.
I really enjoy your channel. For years I never attempted to make drum and bass because I couldn't get my head around the patterns - for some reason my brain can't tell what sounds the ghost notes are. Finally getting into it with your tutorials.
I'm starting with electronic music in Ableton and discovered your channel last week and I found myself coming here pretty often. Useful content, good videos, nice explanations and tips. Please keep on and cheers from Brazil.
Well, I don't dislike it. But I'm new to recording and have no idea what he is doing. It isn't step by step. It's more like watching a master chef whip up a recipe. "After you have your crust and your pumpkin pie filling." Great, but how do I do that exactly?
Loved the approach to the tutorial where you shown where you got stuck, something that’s really missing from a lot of the more mainstream producer tutorials that just churn out dull tutorials
Man I’ve been soaking up all your videos for the past month like a sponge. Every idea I get or style I want to try you have pretty much covered. Loved this video and thanks for all your content. Big shout from London 🙏🏻
Thanks so much for the shoutout and link providing, to my Soundcloud account. I always appreciate all the support I can get and I only hope for others to enjoy my music, nothing more.
Great stuff sir, my favourite musical tune from that era is so hard man but it has to Skanna This Way, I think that tune opened the door to this style considering it was 92/93, the piano, strings, vocal beats and composition are timeless🇬🇧
The Artcore compilation on React which introduced me to jungle as a young lad was based around this sound - PFM was, for me, probably the biggest artist doing this vibe
Pfm - One and Only Makoto - Jupiter fields Ltj bukem - Horizon Rantoul - Default Seba and Lotek - Planetary Funk System Big Bud - Alizur Lil Louis - Clap your Hands (PFM Remix) JmJ and Richie - Free la funk (PFM Remix) Boom!!!!! Just blew your mind 🎆🎇 Your welcome...
Everybody here rocks 🎸 🎸 🎸!!!! This is why drum and bass is special... everybody communicates and it is awesome!!! I forgot to mention Source Direct - Secret Liaison 😉
Wow, you've got a bunch of my favorites there. Here are some more to add to the list. Chameleon - Links Artemis - Elysian Fields LTJ Bukem - Music Justice & Mercy - Soothe My Soul (Blame Remix) Frank De Wulf - Drums in a Grip (Wax Doctor Remix) Universal - Groove Therapy
This video is totally genius. I love how you are able to deep dive in on topics when a lot of youtube can be too generalist. Big ups to all the junglists!!! Definitely nails the Goldie Timeless-era sound to a T. Fantastic analysis.
this channel is an absolute gold mine, thank you so much for your work, best tutorials ever made I'm finally motivated to finish my first track ever thanks to this video ! Ambient Jungle x Tekken soundtrack incoming
btw that hand made delay with decreasing volume is a technique made popular with hip hop made with mpc. the mpc has that 16 levels button and it's a great way to use it^^
I love these tracks - timeless. PFM »Dannys Song« Big Bud »State of Mind« Danny Breaks »State Volume 2« JMJ & Flytronix »In too deep« Funky Technicians »Airtight (Total Science Remix)«
Man! I've seen this a few times. You unselfishly showed a lot of crucial Tricks and used iconic breaks that have quality vibes. Finally a good tutorial without shitty samples and weak breaks that know one learns from. Properly done And appreciated!
Thanks - this helped confirmed some of the techniques i was using for this style. Was also super helpful to see the full arrangement at the end of the video. This is often overlooked in tutorials, where so much time is spent developing the busiest 8-16 bars of a track. I find it's crucially important to think about how you are going to keep the track interesting for the whole 3-5 minutes, which means intro, breakdowns, and outro are vital.
luckily, most of the time the arrangement of ambient atmo intelligent call it whatever jungle is not that hard. sometimes it's hard to start from the beginning, another aproach is to make a really busy loop and then mute certain parts to get an idea. especially, only the pads with some hi hat hits in the beginning is a common way to start a track.
Favourite 90s ambient track- inner city life by Goldie. A timeless absolute smasher and a testament to the quality of underground culture. It's so good I've finished this comment, quit your video and gone to listen again.
Back in ‘96, Mr. Brown came by my place and brought some crates of jungle vinyl with him. I was strictly hip-hop and turntablism back then. He started handing me records to spin and this was the style of jungle I remember playing (although I had no idea what it was at the time). Fast forward to ‘98 and a buddy brought me to a DJ Hype party and as I entered the club, he was dropping his Shook Ones remix and a lifelong junglist was born at that very moment. Big up, Stranjah!!
The tune is stunning. Reminds me very much of a PFM track and It totally fits in the GLR moving shadow, creative source record labels. Love my 90s liquid dnb PFM - Danny’s song,western,one and only Big bud - millennium. A way of life, pure Seba - so long Doc Scott - Tokyo dawn Intense - eastern promise The list goes on.
Super tidy Alan! You absolutely perfected this! You have all the right elements included and all are flawlessly executed! You would never even know, this wasn't actually done, back in the day! You are most welcome for the sample too, glad I could help. Thank you for all your continued support all these years and I am proud to have been there with you, right from the start. ;)
Thank you Andrew, means a lot that you think I hit it, since you are an authority on this style! Likewise thank you for the support over all these years!
This genre uses all the best breaks, Think, Skull Snaps, Appache, Cold Sweat, Sweat Pea, Funky Drummer, Sport and so on. With an old sampler its even better!
I see you have close to 100k subscribers and now with my +1 you're just a little closer. You deserve it. And I got to tell you that I have learned most about dnb from your channel. You definitely have a teaching style that is unique and easy to comprehend. Thanks a bunch
Ya this one was essential. One of the first things I heard because of DJ Freaky Flow. I would love if you did a bonus episode where you interviewed him. He was the only Jungle Artist to have a Gold Record in Canada, and that is pretty big deal. I would love to see you do a collab video history lesson, interview, production tutorial. Maybe even incite some renewed interest in turntablism and jungle dnb. Very few are doing it. This platform could launch a new generation of hip hop jungle hybrid.djs if they could witness the sheer talent of Freaky Flow.
I really like the wah wah guitar, trumpet and sax. It certainly adds to the authenticity of the sound and reminds me VERY much of the early Metalheadz stuff on Platinum Breaks. J Magik, etc.
For this kind vibe (Guitar, Sax etc) its also great to check out 80ies and 90ies Movies f.e. Falling Down, 48 Hours comes to my mind. Great Video thanks man! Was into this back in 1996 :)
Nailed it. Always appreciating your tutorials - one of the best channels on TH-cam consistently. Clearly explained concepts and a nice little history lesson for those that might've missed this sound first time round. Respect.
@@STRANJAH too many take themselves far too seriously. I watch your tutorials even though I don’t make music anymore just because I enjoy your approach to music and helping others. Respect to you fella. Stay safe and be lucky
The European version of the Cool Boarders 2 soundtrack (1997) is how I first got exposed to this style of music. It'll always be my favorite type of dnb/jungle.
Man, I was really into deep blue back in the 90's after getting one of his tracks on the disc that came with kmag. Definitely anything from the helicopter tune on foward
Finally! A quality tutorial, thank you so much! I stumbled upon ambient jungle on some internet radio way back in the day, but ended up forgetting about it. I've always wanted to make this kind of sound. Gotta say tho, my favorite artists was Photek, I'd listen to T'Raenon all the time :D

I've been doing the same ting!
I remember Trouble on Vinyl's motto of 99-2002(?): "Living on 170 bpm", and it was fast)
You honestly make the best Ableton tutorials on TH-cam
thank you!
i love the jungle music in the ps1 games, they were class
Adam F - Circles (Album Edit)...... Classic.....
The Andy C remix is fantastic. Heard that drop in the late 90s Radio One - Jungle Show. It's an assault on your ears.
@@dazz1566 Indeed.
The song that taught me to x step
I really enjoy your channel. For years I never attempted to make drum and bass because I couldn't get my head around the patterns - for some reason my brain can't tell what sounds the ghost notes are. Finally getting into it with your tutorials.
amazing to hear that!
Where were these videos in 2002..... we needed them desperately then and are appreciated today
I love this end of the music, 80s synth flair and movie aesthetics made this genre what it was, and deep spiritual Jazz, Cosmic
I'm starting with electronic music in Ableton and discovered your channel last week and I found myself coming here pretty often. Useful content, good videos, nice explanations and tips. Please keep on and cheers from Brazil.
Great!
Can't get over him working explicitly in vertical mode
Source Direct - Complexities is my all time fav
The key to a good 808 bass is a VERY quick pitch envelope at the beginning
- A tip from producing trap
Who could dislike this vid, he's nailed it imo

@@BruceCarroll u should be watching a different video then, something for the basics
@@trevor4835 Which is why I didn't click the dislike button. The title is misleading, though.
@@BruceCarroll It doesn't say "beginners guide" anywhere. If you have an understanding of music production it is in fact a step by step guide.
@@BIG_PASTA As I discovered.
Ltj buken. Atlantis. My favourite track ever
classic
Essential! If atmo-jungle had a standard, that would be the one. No question.
'Music Is So Special'- all the gods at work!
Just discovering this video now. I’ve been listening to this genre for 25 years and still love it.
Loved the approach to the tutorial where you shown where you got stuck, something that’s really missing from a lot of the more mainstream producer tutorials that just churn out dull tutorials
The Sentinel - Awakening
Code Of Practice - Infiltrate
Both amazing atmospheric tracks done by the mighty Photek!!!
Dude you absolutely destroy these tracks!!
Man I’ve been soaking up all your videos for the past month like a sponge. Every idea I get or style I want to try you have pretty much covered. Loved this video and thanks for all your content. Big shout from London 🙏🏻

fav: photek - t'raenon
What a tune
This the best tune ever!
Photek....yeah boyee
absolutely!
My fave Photek track. Sampled the gorgeous atmos and made one of my first jungle tunes with it!
I still listen to promise land mixed by peshay from time to time. Love this era
Great stuff sir, my favourite musical tune from that era is so hard man but it has to Skanna This Way, I think that tune opened the door to this style considering it was 92/93, the piano, strings, vocal beats and composition are timeless🇬🇧

I always kinda consider Omni Trio - Renegade Snares EP to be ambient in theme - either way it's amazing
Classic tune
I'd like to do some Piano Jungle
@@STRANJAH yeah everything on the Joint I LP was incredible too - i remember how futuristic it all felt back then
Omni Trio - Tripping On Broken Beats (Carlito Mix) has a very ambient sound. The whole album called The Haunted Science is worth your time.
photek's t'raenon and soichi terada's grand senshuraku are some of my favs
very creative at making the echo delay manually
You make it look so easy 👍

glad you like it!

PFM - One and Only was my first and still favorite jungle/drum'n'bass song. Highly recommend everyone to check it out.
Can I just suggest that writing Ambient in a Lydian mode can really add to the dreaminess of the track
that synth stab sounds very star trek-ish
This is when an intro gets you so much you just have to SUBSCRIBE HAHA. Don't forget the Moving Shadow record label.
its art-core!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very excited 😁 thank you kind Stranjah.
Glad you are excited, been waiting to release this!
That intro is exactly what I would expect Stanjah's ketamine trip to look like 🤣
GO-R-GEOUS!
Spring Heel Jack- Take 1

it's awesome dude! good take
Love these videos. Pleeease more jungle haha
More to come!
