What is your favourite BPM to make music in? Also, help this video get 1000 likes! 😀

[@thomasmalone9813]

160 - 168 has some vibes. especially from the likes of fracture, sam binga, chimpo etc

[@nagruv_bbbb]

I can't had a favorite bpm, like i can't had a favorite genre :O

[@tartoras]

156-164. I'm basic *cryface*

[@Omglolwut]

160

[@JIDEHHIGHELEMENTS]

140 when there's a song and around 160 when it's for some more instrumental , faster tempo makes slice & sound manipulations more close to each other as tempo is faster , less time to analyse what is happenig i the music leads to just listen to it as it would be too much infos to analize in a mesure - this momment when music is too complex to be analyzed in real time ...

[@Ps3keks15]

please do a video on 90s ambient jungle like peshay or ltj bukem

[@Omglolwut]

Love that stuff

[@STRANJAH]

Oooh lots of likes we'll see.

[@Ps3keks15]

STRANJAH yeess :))

[@mikuts1]

Yees pleaseee 😯🤫

[@1disturbedjunglist]

Pascal. Cool manoeuvre 👊

[@RickyTinez]

alright.. that intro made me IMEEEEEDIATELY sub

[@STRANJAH]

Means a lot. Big fan of your channel and your music!

[@foodstampz]

Nice. !! Fan of you both !

[@johncitizen8828]

Ricky Tinez on Stranjah video! Two of the KZbin greats in one place! 👌🔥✌️

[@harshrealm]

Fancy meeting you here. :D

[@benny2k181]

I think the 140bpm version is beautiful! Favourite break has to be the Skull Snaps Break. It sounds so evil.

[@STRANJAH]

Love Skull Snaps break, so phat that snare. And groovey.

[@Ghost_Text]

@@STRANJAH I vaguely remember hearing some tunes with snares that while they arent skull snaps have a reminiscent phatness. Always wondered if it was layering or saturation.

[@oTgNinJAFTW]

@benny2k181 Is that the break from their song It's a New Day?

[@kaosimian]

Not going to lie, Shift+Drag to timestretch made my jaw-drop. Can't believe that little nugget passed me by all this time!

[@some.person]

your teaching is a perfect balance of simplicity and complexity!

[@mymodularjourney]

You make the process of designing a rhythm look so effortless. Loving your videos.

[@badloop]

I just love the vibing in your video intros! They make my day!

[@scott_was_here5642]

Ive been looking for this type of music mane, thanks for making a whole playlist!! 140 jungle is crazy

[@willbournerv2259]

Prefer it slightly more towards 145-150 for that bit of extra speed

[@samm7909]

This is exactly the video I was looking for! It just took me 5 years to find it, amazing. Please more vids on these slow UK breaksy numbers, I beg you. Tune sounds v similar to Benton. TOP NOTCH AGAIN STRANJAH.

[@Hyper5nic]

Interesting video and very useful to explore in other DAWs as well! Thanks for sharing! Stay safe and creative!

[@BurnBabylon_Selecta]

Great tutorial! Thank you so much for making these videos! Big love!!

[@julioxstaticv3782]

Thank you for this video, instant sub. The organization and language were so helpful, and the beat was super tight.

[@brennanaman1beats27]

You're the man STRANJAH ..thanks again for another great video

[@jakedoran6626]

Mad, I was watching your jungle tutorials yesterday and started making a 140 jungle tune. This channel is too sick, big ups man!

[@STRANJAH]

Cheers Jake, fun tempo to produce in!

[@gizmord1984]

Another useful brilliant video!

[@nicoisbeta]

Amazing video, great for the lesser-known shortcuts like shift+drag

[@philphilthy5359]

Thanks a lot for all those juicy tutorials mate! Gwaaan

[@julihansen]

Thanks for your time and the quality output 🙂

[@sramirez1906]

Great as always!

[@soulsurfer-no1bs]

Stranjah your tutorials rule! Thank you so much man!

[@francesco5482]

thanks man.I appreciated it.Usefull

[@simonbell209]

Best tutorials out! As for BPM, like everything else in life, I prefer variety.

[@dylancourt632]

Ooooh yeah I've literally just started a 140 breakbeat piece thank you so much!

[@AlegriaDNB]

Really neat and simple vibe for the audio choppage! That's how I do my breaks too, but I still lack experience to make some of the chops sound realistic and not too "artificial". Anyway, thank you as always. Hope you make more videos on choppage! :)

[@mrtibbs5543]

Stranhah you just go from strength to strength with your videos these vids are gold dust.

[@coffeeknuckles4802]

I'm looking forward to trying this kind of thing. Sounds awesome at 140 to me.

[@gabrielvelea5785]

amazing tutorial! thank you so much for sharing your skills and talents with us, mortals

[@djlegend2]

Thanks for another great video, love em!

[@serenitysoundclash]

Really enjoyed that like bro! BOSS MAN

[@484peachy]

Thank you so much for sharing you’re knowledge, I’ve learned so much in this video, Big Ups!

[@nanob0zo]

This is a great video. Not just for breaks but for any audio based rhythmic and melodic chopping. Thanks again! Also I grabbed your Jungle and Liquid packs - 5 ⭐️ for those!

[@STRANJAH]

Thanks Alex that is a thoguhtful comment you're right can be applied to any time of sample! Thank you for supporting my packs as well!

[@ahmedtaktak581]

Super useful! Thanks a lot!

[@AlejandroGuerrero]

Man this was a GREAT video. Thanks from Madrid.

[@prismsoundstv]

Absolute legend!

[@ucdannewman]

brilliant stuff yet again thank you!

[@kilianrooney8430]

Bro this was so helpful ! I was bopping my head every time that sick break played haha

[@darrenazgard6614]

You are a master Don. I like the 163 best. Thanks

[@Gosha1992]

Very useful, thank you.

[@forwardever]

Love your videos dude. Nice pace, not too fast and you explain things really well with simple language.

[@monat_son]

This is gold Stranjah, thank you!

[@STRANJAH]

cheers glad you enjoyed it!

[@patrickmurray8701]

Even the intro got chopped. Quality information as always. Thanks Stranjah

[@STRANJAH]

Had to do it justice with the chopped video!

[@daveknights4605]

Great video. So glad you whacked the bpm up at the end as that was all I kept thinking about how it would sound sped up! Sounded best at 160 to me but good at 140 too.

[@ThisIsAlvinCarrillo]

game changing for me, thanks!

[@ouatedephoque]

Nice beat ! Thank you !

[@fionaur5933]

Oooo love this! Helpful for IDM and Breakcore production too

[@STRANJAH]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GingaSlice]

140! woaw thank u STRANJAH!!

[@user-dd5dx3xg7c]

Great tutorial, would love one on the Swamp 81 sound!

[@julienm702]

Stranjah, I love your work. You're a great teacher, and I know what i'm talking about cause so am I. Everything is so clear and perfectly understandable. You give us the the feeling that it's easy anyone can do it. Soooooo inspiring. Thank you thank you thank you, from a junglist massive (1998 I was there). Hey, if you ever need a sax track or sax licks in your production, send me a msg, I'm a pro sax player; It would be an honnor. ;)

[@rusrus29]

We use to play 1990/91Hardcore in the London clubs at around 140/150 bpm,that transition from 1993-94 was the game changer going into the darker breaks of 155/163 (early Jungle days), i enjoyed the speed up ,so I'm down with both BPM speeds,they work well what you've done. .. Also listen to "2 BAD MICE bomb scare , & hold it down " and not forgetting Champion sound (Great work! and its good to hear that jungle is going back to old sounds and breaks structures)

[@TheKidsWantJustice]

Wow awesome video! I'm quite new to the production of jungle and got a lot out of this. Thanks!

[@NRG2]

Sick!! My favorite video yet! 🙏👽

[@NRG2]

Also, I’ve made a couple D&B style beats at 128bpm. As long as you are creative with the high hats you can keep it rolling. Different vibe for sure though.

[@user-hb5sd7jy7i]

nice! u are the best! thank u

[@refraktr6223]

the intro was WICKED man 🔥🔥🔥

[@djfrantik]

Fantastic mr Stranjah!!

[@AZ-id1oo]

Hey brother, I heard Amen Fury back in 2013 and had a particular fondness toward it. I had no idea you had such a fun YT channel, I love it !

[@joshjams5913]

dude this helped me so much, thank you

[@auburnkit]

Yo, these videos are quality. Been looking for ages for a good jungle sample chopping video and this along with your ambient jungle videos were just what i needed to attempt making this style of music.

[@dirko2000]

Thanks! That was very helpful. More old school stuff would be great. And how about a video about combining breaks and drum samples?

[@bornshamir7792]

1 like with speed 160-180! I love that riddim you cooked up here. 163 bpm jad me instantly. Great tips I will give them a go. ! Big up! Peace!

[@STRANJAH]

glad u enjoyed!

[@Ninjjadog]

Awesome, thanks.

[@DystopianTofuTV]

very useful, thank you

[@andersingram]

nice ... some things to learn here for sure

[@sharkpogger5590]

Aphex Twin and The Prodigy vibes) Really cool video!

[@noneohone3196]

I actually love stuff at this tempo and 90's flavoured Dnb in general, I feel like you can hear a the crustiness of the breaks much more and definitely more into it than the more clinical, non breakbeat stuff. Some of the newer skee mask stuff would definitely come into this category I feel! Cool videos, always inspiring and something for beginners and more seasoned producers! Keep up the good work!

[@jakuub1630]

Thank you so much for this

[@paulhodgson8894]

Just happy you name checked Sully! Great tutorial

[@Intergalacticjack]

Love the idea with the Spotify playlists mate! Such a good thing for DJ's, Producers and the listeners to have access to. Also, 140bpm sounded sick, 163 needed playing with a little to sound tighter. Big love!

[@tylermcneil5239]

Check out my RaveCore playlist on spotify wont be disappointed.

[@BIGBIGBIG]

This amazing and super inspiring!

[@19LostInYourEyes80]

You are the Master of Breaks!

[@BeastmanG]

Love how interactive your channel is :)

[@STRANJAH]

Thank you man, and always try my best to answer questions you may have!

[@extraterrestrialexcrement530]

Love That Hard Filthy Kick,So Dope!

[@DavidGillodes]

New Stranjah Video? Liked even before beginning to watch!

[@JelleJelleJelle]

These intros are getting better and better!

[@WaxDat8800]

Both sound good.

[@joshgrey7961]

I'll check the class for sure

[@JamesParatiiArts]

wicked Tutorial mighty Stranjah. I think this example better at 140, for the 163 you'd have made it better suited in the construction from the outset. big ups man! sharing the knowledge

[@asimusicUK]

Great video. So weird that this video came up in my feed today cos I’m literally today working on a tune at this tempo using classic jungle drum sounds. That trick with the utility gain modulation is quality. Some great tips in here . Really learned a lot of new things. Big up

[@projectna3328]

Awesome.

[@austinnemorin8729]

Great video!

[@samuraibreaks648]

wicked tips !! keeep it uuuuuup

[@Hennyfrank123]

Love your channel brodi

[@McFartussyMan]

10:00 minutes in and I have learned so much, yet things I already knew, This tutorial is perfect for inspiration.

[@Nobody-hc2bo]

immediately added this to my likes because of that intro alone lmao. Amazing

[@tylermcneil5239]

So much fun to mess with love reverse hits with a added reverb. Jungle is like playing with Legos to me.

[@coreybramwell635]

Another awesome tutorial brotha! 👊 For this specific break I think it shines at 140. Once your happy with your surgical cuts and edits I think subtle fill FX from effectrix or looperator would be dope!

[@arisdiacolabrianos5867]

such a good tutorial! Cheers Stranjahhhh

[@squezary]

both tempos are good in their own respect i think. i vibe with both:)

[@Ryannaut_g]

Thank you Stranjah!

[@section23]

Tips on ‘96 style jump up bass creation would be epic

[@vexathebassinjector]

One of the best years!

[@therealseven7seven]

god yes 🔫

[@AdamTheAd-vanc3d]

Funny that I was just thinking to myself . How about Stranjah demystifyies the aphrodite signature bass sound. Or the dj ss harmonically rich 808 style bass. Years ago i actually asked Gavin Aphrodite himself ....guess what ?.... he never really told me lol. Just said some vintage gear hmmmm.

[@Benjamin_quellec]

the intro is incredible ;)

[@Bragnis]

163 is sick, great job

[@STRANJAH]

thank you

[@skatechatham]

The compilation Speed Limit 140 BPM+ Volume 3 "The Joint" is essential listening for this type of stuff, it was right around this time they were diving into the pitch shifting on the Akai samplers and chopping up a lot of breaks. It's always been a favourite of mine.

[@rahimkisoor7004]

I agree, I own the whole collection of 140bpm, try also the album from A Guy Called Gerald: Essence.

[@ManhattanCamerata]

Prefer 163 over 140, but then again I always prefer the oldskool jungle choppage. Great vid!

[@svefngenglar1]

You smashed the intro

[@pilkb7293]

Best intro in youtube history

[@Tinytunesrec]

118 BPM. hardcore breakbeat is smooth and deep at this temp. I like it)

[@STRANJAH]

That's a unique tempo!

[@dabb1up520]

i am loving the 163 bmpm

[@jakeniemi6533]

You're a beast, dude. I really want jungle to go more mainstream than ever! It still sounds futuristic and dope after all these years!!

[@catbat06]

you do not want it to go more mainstream. Look what happened to Dubstep. At least right now if you go to a Jungle night anywhere in the world you're likely to hear bangers.

[@sutusmihaly]

..awesome video
