Lemon D & Dillinja: Drums & Breaks Production

[@TheODCUK]

There's a secret sample pack at the end of Lemon D 'TwoTechniques' (Dillinja Remix) from 1999. It has a lot of their drums and splashy percussion from the era.

This is the best comment I have seen for a long long time.

[@Artersa]

Great video!! Love this dutty style. Would love an early-mid 00’s Renegade Hardware type video! Vicious Circle type stuff.

[@SteelC]

+1 on this Loxy & Ink 2000s vibes. Just kick a door off its hinges why don't you.

[@groovining]

Renegade Hardware would be cool. I used to go to a lot of those nights. Loxy & Ink I love. Also had Jubei in the works for a while is one of my faves :) 🔊✌️

[@liamhansell]

Apparently Dillinja used to run his mixdowns to DAT so loud that the noise floor would be almost running red 🤣😂

[@squarelanguage]

Similarly people used to push up the gain on a bass through a Mackie mixer to get mixer noise over the bass (Dom & Roland iirc)

[@groovining]

I'm sure Dillinja did both those technique and others like slamming in EQ & compressors :) 🔊✌️

[@squarelanguage]

I used to listen to drum and bass mixes on cassette tapes a lot which really softened the drums, which I liked. When you filtered the top end, it reminded me of this.

[@BCThunderthud]

I think I'm a bad D&B fan because when I listen to those old live tapes I wonder why MCs were so popular at raves.

[@squarelanguage]

@@BCThunderthud they're still popular and there's actually a recent Ed Rush and Optical live mix on KZbin where the MC is muted in the mix but whoever was at the show heard them

[@BCThunderthud]

@@squarelanguage It's weird because drum & bass records hardly ever had rapping but on live mixes they never shut up.

​@@BCThunderthudif you don't like mcs than this culture isn't for you

[@BCThunderthud]

@@darkstranjahjunglebunny3667 You might be right. I'm old and American so I've been listening to this stuff for 30 years but it's been a different kind of engagement from over here, my raving years were mostly over by the time they starting having D&B rooms. I had friends who promoted parties but they were into deep house, which I didn't really like. Sometimes I'd go to reggae parties with MCs but most of them were pretty wack too, at least in California.

[@Screenshot1015]

If you released a pack of your layered breaks I’d buy it immediately 🦾🦾

[@groovining]

Nice ye, I'm working on this as a few people have mentioned they would be interested. Not something I want to rush out though as it has to be high quality! :) ✌️😊

[@Blaketownselecta]

Brilliant stuff. I was all about Big Bad Bass when it came out and would follow the Valve Soundsystem around anywhere and everywhere. I'm going to be coming back to this video a lot I feel.

[@groovining]

Cheers mate! Valve Soundsystem is heavy. Heart it once in Leeds and can still feel Hard noize rattling my ears to this day. Good times! Got the next part of bass out now :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZjLg36bqb1knZo

[@Ezi83]

0:09 I was there at that rave. So so dope! 🔥 🔊 🔥🔊🔥🔊 thanks for another wicked vid. Looking forward to part 2

[@groovining]

Valve Soundsystem is killer! I heard it for the first time in Leeds years ago and will never forget :) 🚀🔊😊

[@funkedubs3538]

Looking forward to the bass section in this series

[@forestsunset9617]

Love these guys, Dillinja is one of my heroes

[@groovining]

Yea Dillinja has made some huge tunes. Lemon D also is very underrated :) 🔊✌️

[@forestsunset9617]

@@groovining Agree. 12.01, Rockers II Rockers, Chainsaw, Back 2 Chicago, This is Los Angeles are all killer Lemon D Tracks IMO.

[@QWLMusic]

Should be Groovin King at this point! Solid video and super slick tune!! Thanks for always sharing your knowledge.

[@groovining]

Haha cheers Tory. Glad you liked the tune. Got a few more like that in the works. Happy to share - thanks for all the comments. :) 🚀✌️

[@farben_]

My favorite Dillinja technique is when he would filter cutoff the crash cymbal at the end of the amens and it would sound something like 8:18.

[@datapusher-]

Thats more of a pitch envelope / shift on that hit, but I feel ya.

[@anyme3046]

Tape stop was used to death on old technics that’s how this is achieved

[@groovining]

Yea Tape Stop or pitch down envelope achieve a very similar sound. Good info :)

[@farben_]

@@groovining An idea for another video? :) Exploring Dillinja filtered amens. I always thought it was an automated LP that he resampled but it never sounded quite the same when I tried then again I don't have an EMU.

[@groovining]

@@farben_ I think its probably a triggered envelope of filter on every hit? I will have a look into it. There is another part to this series after the bass one. Could be cool to include in that!

[@richgreenmusic2211]

I love the test seties and the test white series some seriously dope tunes on that label. Rapture is lush.

Trying so hard to learn Renoise just now and your channel really helps mate! Just wish I found it as easy as I used to find Screamtracker back in the day lol

[@groovining]

Nice to hear mate! Love Renoise - glad I can help people get into the program. It does have a bit of a learning curve but once you've over that its a blast to use :) 🔊✌️

[@Quiet_Forge]

Super high quality stuff again

[@groovining]

Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed again. Two of my favourites to cover :) 🔊✌️

[@maleficedark5060]

Yes!

[@anyme3046]

This is great earned a sub I have the emu 6400 and 1604 cr that is the easiest way to achieve there sound relatively speaking but this is a really good solution for those on a budget or lack of space great work

[@groovining]

Cheers mate - appreciate it. The Emu's are 🔥. I love mine. Keeping my ear to the ground for a 1604 a some point as I blew up my old alto mixer smashing the channels too much! Mackity/shaper box does a good job tho 😊✌️

[@anyme3046]

@@groovining I have the 1202 aswell same sound less Eq Facebook marketplace they pop up all the time

[@groovining]

Is it the micro series 1202 rather than the VLZ ones?

[@anyme3046]

@@groovining yes correct exactly the same as the cr version don’t get vlz versions

Desperate for part 2

[@misterjones7248]

Sounds great, maybe just a little bit less wet on the reverb - but the style sounds very 98 (a good thing)

[@groovining]

Thanks mate - It's hard to get things bang on but hopefully shows how to achieve that sound with a more modern process :) 🔊✌️
