How I Make JUNGLE With Akai S1000 - 90s Jungle Production

I wanted to show you one of my tracks that originally was signed by a label to be put out on a 12", but due to life circumstances, the label stopped its operations for a while. I generally gave a lot of information in this video, but after filming and seeing most of the video is totally out of focus, I had to get rid of most of my talk on my mindset as I didn't want to re-record it all over again because it's difficult for me. I left some stuff, though, and tried to cover it with a bunch of (sometimes unrelated) b-roll. The track at the end is wicked, i love it. I need to think on how to put it out, as I have a bunch of tracks that i kept for other labels, and they just don't release it because vinyl is a difficult situation. And since these tracks are getting old now, i need to do something about it.

the glitch mob have pivoted to a really interesting "neo-nineties" sound recently. i think its a fun vibe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIa0i4N6l6url9E

[@DonPritchard1850]

You release it, I'll buy it. Keep 'em coming!

[@suitandtieguy]

I'm not super into dark dnb but game respects game. This track is fantastic and you did a great job.

[@djpetenice]

Winamp... It really whips the Llama's ass

[@riseandshine5706]

sounds great

[@addictedtocraic]

Amazing track mate. Gorgeous disjointed rhythms and floaty t the same time.

[@sveast1999]

This is a very cool track ! Well done ! I like it very much ! Great sample, good arrangement and awesome sound. You are a specialist with lots of experience in making jungle sound !

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Thanks :)

[@gergovagyok4191]

Another superb content, with a great jungle track at the end. With such a little setup you make so good quality stuff.

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Thank you !! Making music with hardware is easy and not so much at the same time. However, i generally believe, with computers, being able to do anything, at the same time, computers kill the vibe for me. Back in the day, with analog technology (generally everywhere , both in film .music..) coming up with ideas and techniques to present something new was always a challenge, but a good one. With computers, though, you can do literary anything, and that is boring, isn't it ? Hardware requires commitment, which yields different approach and results.

Another great video and tune IJO, I love watching your videos man, especially the Akai based ones. The tune reminds me of some real late night pirate radio station stuff we used to get back in the day here in the UK. Takes me back to driving around London at night or listening to pirate radio in my bedroom as a teen and not sleeping, knowing I had school the next day. This brings back fond memories man, thanks for sharing!

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Hey, appreciate ! Yes, 90s jungle definitely has this nostalgia from being young and discovering life through music. Same with me.

[@atommachine]

Tracks never get old they Mature like fine wine . Its the space in the tracks that gives it som ting reel . Big Up[.

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Cheerts ! :)

[@Paul-Carson]

Sounds amazing. Less is more. I need to start practising what I preach.. but its so hard not to go mental with all the unlimited tracks we have at our disposal in all the daws now. Amazing work. Love it. get it released yourself.

[@IJOSoundVideo]

I suppose you just have to put limits for yourself and stick to that when you are surrounded with unlimited options. That same principle applies to life in general :) It's just a lot easier to move forward when you have fewer things to consider.

[@bartomiejdolny7555]

Thanks, I really like your workflow, simple and effective. It delivers always a great results.

[@ElectronisoundsAudio]

Hell Yeah! Your beat chops / breaks programming on this one is especially killer! Thanks for sharing! 👊

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Hey ! Thanks for watching :)

[@Stargazer-XP]

Awesome track man🌴🥁

[@samhaupt6564]

always a pleasure watching your vids. I love the minimalist approach and your tracks always go crazy. hope you find a way to get some hard releases soon

[@erasusdnb]

that indeed a great track

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Thanks !

[@philadams9254]

Phat track! I did wonder what happened to the label. Sad news, but hopefully it will bounce back.

[@TehSyneS]

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Cheers !

[@Ant2be]

[@garrybynon6080]

[@robbertpeperkamp]

good stuff and lovely video again!!

[@project-95]

Great breakdown love your simplicity.

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Thanks !

[@user-pt1yw8ld3p]

I really am grateful for all the videos on the akai as i have an s3200xl but my only problem is do you chop before putting into akai or after or both as my attempts at chopping phrases, whole breaks or just a snare for example have been off the beat. Thanks for showing the art of sampling beats although i think i have a way to go before i am happy with my results. Again thankyou for your patience. Peace, André.

[@IJOSoundVideo]

I always chop my breaks inside S1000. I did, in fact, have a s3000xl for a while, and it had this weird chopping situation, when it sort of was loosing some milliseconds from the chops and when played back it felt too chopped, didn't flow as organically as with the S1000.

[@reereelization]

Love these man!

[@IJOSoundVideo]

🙏

[@sutusmihaly]

..awesome track..

[@souldefunk]

[@ChristopherGun]

[@uakadyknow9712]

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Appreciate !

[@markleighton_]

Sick track!!!

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Thanks !

[@Goettel]

Great track

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Thank you !

[@WorksopGimp]

Always get a take-back clause in a contract if they choose not to release, back to you

[@IJOSoundVideo]

It is alright, we didn't sign anything as this is a friendly situation, therefore i didn't give any rights away.

[@jatsajatsa]

Aaaargh! Why don't you mention any of the other gear? Is the Korg also functioning as a midi controller?

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Hey. I did in fact said a lot more here, but after seeing most of the footage was completely out of focus, i cut most of the stuff out, as i didn't want to re-record it, too difficult. I use microkorg mostly as a controller, but i also sometimes use it for making samples with its amazing sounds, and sometimes i run it as a midi channel for additional melodies, if i feel like i need to add something to the tune. Generally it's just an Akai S1000, running all 8 outputs in to the soundcraft folio fx 8 mixing desk for live mixdown. Pretty much it.

[@bartleyrob]

love your videos keep it up from an akai bother

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Cheers !

[@dan_g-DreadMassaker]

bigup #reasongang

[@TeslaDanser]

Kool and the hands hahaha

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Yes, meant to say Cool And The Gang. No idea why it came out that way 😁

[@vanderloo1978]

How did you get that to sound so warm?

[@IJOSoundVideo]

I put it next to a heater :) Jokes aside, i don't know, it's the analog gear making everything warm.

[@channelite]

Do you use all of the S1000 analog outputs?

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Yes.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Reason has all the sounds and the standerd drum loops for Jungle are in the Reason sound bank, as Dr Rex loops, do You ever use those?

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Hey. I never use Reason stock sounds, i haven't even listened to what comes with it. I prefer using my own sounds and samples and avoid basic libraries like that :)

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@IJOSoundVideo I cant believe You have never even listened to Reason sound bank, wow thats a bit shocking but hey what works for You works for You. Jungle isn't really My thing, I'm more Drum n Bass.

[@IJOSoundVideo]

@@HOLLASOUNDS :) yeah, we all have our own individual perspective on things. I do dnb too, but jungle is what ppl on this channel are craving the most for, so i am giving them something, when i feel like. But i do make all kinds of music, and i have many different workflows and techniques and different programs for different stuff.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@IJOSoundVideo I have made some Jungle but very little and that was only because I found the Amen break and messed around in the Dr Rex back in 2007 and thought "Hold on a minute, this sounds like Jungle".

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@IJOSoundVideo I make all sorts of music to, it was Reason 4 that I did DnB in and the one Jungle tune I made. Do you think there is a uptake in Jungle listeners?

[@CalamityHillMusic]

What DAW is that ?

[@IJOSoundVideo]

This one here is Reason 12, but I only use it for triggering MIDI notes for my hardware.

[@fullfunk]

create your label and release it on beatport i think its like 60s euro one time to create the label

[@IJOSoundVideo]

Nah, I don't like Beatport. I might, though, but I prefer Bandcamp, and accompany my digital releases with a physical merch like tapes. Vinyl would be the best, of course, but it is an expensive affair, and it takes way too much time to deal with all this by my self.

[@elissitdesign]

@@IJOSoundVideo If you want vinyl just wait for the economy to improve. There will be a better time for vinyl releases.

[@waynesilverman3048]

In my electribe 2 sampler I have good drums but how do u get that 'buzz' sound after the amen from flanger or phase?
