Making COMPLEXTRO Like It's 2017 Again (Virtual Riot, Tokyo Machine, Nitro Fun)

In this production tutorial, I'll be making some complextro! Complextro is an older genre that was popular from around 2012-2018 on labels such as Monstercat and NCS (Nocopyrightsounds), and that's what brings us here; where I'm making some complextro similar to the complextro that artists such as Virtual Riot, Tokyo Machine, Nitro Fun, and many more make. Some songs that I take great inspiration from are Virtual Riot - Init, Virtual Riot - With You, Virtual Riot - Lift Me Up, Tokyo Machine - PLAY, Tokyo Machine - GALACTICAL, Tokyo Machine - ROCK IT, Nitro Fun - New Game, Nitro Fun - Cheat Codes, among many others. I hope you enjoy.

Nice!

[@NeddieOfficial]

OH HI THANKS NITRO FUN

[@JRonmusic]

Now we just need Virtual Riot and Tokyo Machine

[@rokthatsun]

Dude🫡

[@ghostplayermusic]

Yoooo Nitro Fun liked it holy crap, thanks for the inspiration Neddie this is my favorite genre of music, and basically what got me into music production :) I've got a long way to go but this video has given me a ton of ideas

[@nnwnd]

Te amo Nitro Fun

[@rux_99]

neddie should make a full dubstep drop with ZERO frequency shifter

[@NeddieOfficial]

I'm not gonna lie that is extremely easy for me 😂 cool idea tho

[@rux_99]

[@GS-kk2vf]

[@ceo.of.stufff]

The chord progression is making me ascend

[@MeridianOfficial]

YES! THIS!!! why has this style of the genre died down so much, even electro house as a whole is not as hype anymore. Most of the artists moved away form this primitive sound design and moved into a more professional sound design approach with a more softer and digestible sound and more mature composition for mainstream listeners, moving away from the hype 2016 'gamer'-audience sounds as I would call it. This sound is so nostalgic and encouraging to me though. It's the reason why this genre is one of my top 3 favorites. I'm happy someone acknowledge this sound from this era finally!

[@tupielrgaming]

"softer sound design" the sound design: BWAAAA YOI YOI

[@luciferianjesuslover9453]

True

[@MeridianOfficial]

I don't wanna boast or anything(Yeah I do), but I'm producing electro house and dubstep like it's still 2017 and I will start releasing music soon, my channel is currently filled with outdated stuff but stay tuned if interested :P

[@g1rlparty]

hello neddie! here’s some complextro tips from someone who made producing complextro their life for a few months LOL. i know VR uses a saw-sync lead for the lead on his supersaws and this is good for a few reasons, mainly because using the same supersaws preset as your lead can make it blend in a little too much with the chords and not stand out as much using a preshifted clap makes all the difference in complextro, because having something that leads into the snare can make it punchier hope this helps, sorry if i’m too annoying lol

[@BVK.]

The preshift snare is such a good idea!

[@csh_3197]

Neddie has mastered every challenge given Now it’s time to make a dubstep drop with NO BASS

[@NeddieOfficial]

that's a really cool idea 😳

[@JRonmusic]

your workflow is INSANE my guy! almost makes me want to use Ableton instead...

[@NeddieOfficial]

ay thank you!! if you're seriously considering it just know that a quick workflow is not ableton specific hahhaha, I've seen people make full songs in FL in like 20 minutes :)

[@nxise0001]

Complextro has actually had a resurgence recently sorta with artists like xaev. It's a lot more modern sounding now and heavier imo but still fun. You should check them out.

[@mcgrey_]

Or like mameyudoufu

[@cubedroid5087]

yesss xaev is so good

[@cubedroid5087]

Dashie is also good

This reminds me of the days I was listening to hyper potions and tobu.

@@newzealandexists I'm sorry to came out like that, but to be real, if a person became "broken" because they started a relationship, why do that in the first place?

[@Alfred_English]

im 30 and i distinctly remember Mord Fustang "The Electric Dream" as a defining track of 2011. it kinda defined the arrangement template for all of complextro moving forward. before that though, we had Wolfgang Gartner "Illmerica", and I think that was the original birthing point for complextro. Illmerica has a certain bloghouse energy that's super special to me. It captures the feeling of mid 2000's trash electro like Cyberpunkers, Le Castle Vania, and The Toxic Avenger

[@sharktheprez]

Back when I dj'd in 2010-12 i played out so much complextro. Such a great genre. Darth & Vader, Dirtyloud and the OG complextro god Wolfgang Gartner were my faves. Cool to see others still enjoying it.

[@ecli3690]

you should 100% finish and release this one ngl

[@iAMi_01]

please do!!

[@Marsterchef]

This video made me so happy, watching you work on it like it's a puzzle, filling the pieces one by one and getting excited when it works is so precious to watch. Love your stuff man, keep it up💜

[@NeddieOfficial]

awhhh thanks a ton!! that means a lot

[@THEOxxx197]

HOLY SHIT this music was my whole childhood !! I used to listen to this music ALL the time, especially while I was drawing ridiculous ocs haha. Great video !

[@orangsucc]

I'd love to see more of the actual sound design side of things since that's probably my main weak point rn, I don't like using too many pre-made samples/loops/presets since it doesn't feel like something I've made anymore, I'm fine with a few but too many ruins the fun for me

[@St4bilityMusic]

As someone who's considered the master of the "2010s" sound in some circles, I approve this video!

[@BVK.]

🤔

[@lightny9081]

First time here in your channel and I already like what you did ngl this track is really bring back a lot of nostalgia in those times Not just the track that made but the second drop is really made me hype Please make this a full release

Someone please explain Complextro to me. I struggle differentiating it from Electro House

[@NeddieOfficial]

I think complextro is a lot more stompy and energetic than electro house, and also as the name suggests, far more complex than electro house. The main one for me is how energetic it is tho

[@knowlogician]

complextro has a lot more complex sounds and flows with glitchier sound design and an influx of different sounds besides just growls like electro house
