Next part in the genre guide series, hope y'all enjoy o7

Never tried making a Drill 'n' Bass mix before, and I'd also never even really listened to 90s Breakcore before making this, so this was pretty cool as a learning experience for me. Also had a lot of help from a guy who's been organizing Breakcore raves in LA since the early 2000s, both in terms of what releases & artists I should be checking out, and in terms of checking over the info on the slides.

Second part of the sub-genre intro guide series I'm working on, coving Techstep & Neurofunk this time. Next part will probably either cover Atmo Jungle/DnB or Jungle Tekno & Happy Hardcore. Hope y'all enjoy o7.

Yeah. I was actually listening to Ed Rush & Optical's album "Wormhole" for the very first time the other day, and while it's pretty tame by the standards set by stuff that came after it, I couldn't help but think of how wild it must have been to go from stuff like Dred Bass, Ricky, Terrorist, Maximum Style, etc. to Wormhole in only 3-4 years.

Here's what I've been mainly working on for the past 2 weeks, first video in a series I'm working on to follow up from the genre guide video I made a while back. Hope y'all enjoy o7

Also, here's a Techstep/Neurofunk track I uploaded 4 weeks ago if anyone's interested:

• GeoCity Junglist - Psionic Assault

New best of 2023 mix, mainly featuring Hardcore, Darkcore & Jungle Tekno, hope y'all enjoy o7

Also uploaded a couple new tracks since the last mix I posted:

• GeoCity Junglist - Welcome To Metropolis
• GeoCity Junglist - Amen Dreams VIP (WIP/demo, updated from a version I'd posted a few months ago in "Dubplates & Demos Vol. 4")

"Welcome To Metropolis" is part of idea I had to make a fake video game OST inspired by (and frequently sampling from) 90s FPS games, though I'm also not exactly trying very hard to make all the songs work as a FPS soundtrack tbh, so the "OST" part is more of a loose thematic framing device.

The inclusion of the "Close Encounters" samples is kinda funny tbh, 'cause the whole reason I even had them was to make a bootleg remix of Siamese Minds - Killer Instinct. I started working on that bootleg around 3-4 weeks before I started on Cyberia '94, but haven't finished it yet. Then when working on Cyberia '94, I had completed the two sections before & after the ambient section with the Closer Encounters samples, but transitioning directly between them didn't sound right.

So that whole section came about just 'cause I decided to bridge those two sections by switching into something completely different for a bit. And the thing I decided to switch into is basically just a rough recreation of a section of the intro for the Killer Instinct bootleg I'm working on (minus the drums & bass), which worked surprisingly well lol.

Someone else had actually uploaded this track to YT a while back. Then about 4-5 years ago it just disappeared for some reason and no one re-uploaded it until this channel did 6 months ago (which tbf, it's a vinyl only release from 1995, so you can basically only get it through discogs nowadays). Don't remember how many views the original upload had, but judging by similarly old Jungle videos, I think it would probably be closer to 10k at this point if it hadn't been taken down.

Not 100% sure, but I think it's the Think Break. Sounds a bit weird, so likely timestretched and/or repitched. Also probably has a low pass filter over it in order to cut out the two extremely loud & high pitched peaks in the 10-20 kHz range that are coming from the shaker, 'cause those will start hurt your ears if you don't tone them down at all lol.

Anyone know what song is being sampled here? Kid Lib - Slow Jump also samples it and I want to try and find the original track.

It's a fun song, but kinda ruined by the fact that Acidgvrl & Swimswim (who may or may not be the same person) are easily the most annoying producers to come out of the wave of artists inspired by Sewerslvt.

The main reason a lot of people don't really care for them seems to be that they have a whole network of sock puppet accounts on YouTube that spam "Breakcore" "mixes" that only feature songs by Acidgvrl & Swimswim, along with maybe a few tracks by artists like Sewerslvt, Machine Girl, etc. so that they can get a boost in the algorithm (they also tend to have clickbait-y thumbnails & titles to boot). For example, I found this channel in the recommended videos section under the Breakcore Kush MV, which sure enough only features music from Acidgvrl & Swimswim, and also seems to have spent the past month reuploading the same 3-4 mixes every few days under different titles. And I've personally run across 2 other channels with nearly identical behavior patterns, as well as seen a few posts on Reddit from people who also found very similar YT channels.

On top of that, Acidgvrl & Swimswim's actual music output also follows a very similar pattern of constantly spamming out short, undercooked tracks with overly meme-y titles & screenshots of VRChat anime girls as artwork. So overall it just feels like they don't really care about the music and are just trying to game the algorithms to gain popularity.

• Twin gatling guns
• Pile bunker in left weapon bay
• I think I was using a laser cannon on the right shoulder, but it might have been a weapon bay bazooka
• Heavy biped legs
• Same FCS & boosters as Balteus fight

Tried to use a bazooka & cannon in my hands initially, but figured out fairly quickly that I was doing best with the gatling guns.

Edit: Have the game up right now, so I thought I'd give a more detailed rundown of my build:

Body:

• Head: KASUAR/44Z
• Core: DF-BD-08 TIAN-QIANG
• Arms: DF-AR-08 TIAN-QIANG
• Legs: DF-LG-08 TIAN-QIANG

Power, FCS & Expansion:

• Booster: ALULA/21E
• FCS: FCS-G2/PO5
• Generator: VP-20D
• Expansion: Assault Armor

Here's a few screenshots of how it looks (with different weapons than what I used in the boss fight):

Back with a new mix, keeping it strictly Jungle this time. Hope y'all enjoy o7

Also uploaded another compilation of some unfinished tracks if anyone's interested: Dubplates & Demos Vol. 3
