I like it Thanks.
Are triggering loops from a keyboard controller or MPC type of device?

Re: Tonto's Revenge (Badness Ting!)
I'm always glad to hear some drum&bass -ish tracks in this section. 
The track tempo is very modest, but I remember that you prefer to have it a little bit slower than what's usual.
Did you use some scope synths for bass or synth sounds? The composition is a little minimalistic, but I like the mood of it. Well done!

Re: Tonto's Revenge (Badness Ting!)
hey dude
your sound is good as always, i missed some beat variation in this one compared to your last submitted tune though... regarding tempo, coming from the pre-2000 dnb scene i like it a lot. I'd suggest you have a trip into the dubstep genre, as i suspect it would fall straight into your style and appreciation...
good tune, i envy your sample sources!

Evening dudes!
Many thanks for the replies so far! Re: the low tempo... that's sort of the whole point with my tunes. Allow me to explain:
First off, I got sick of hearing jungle being played and/or produced at +180bpm. In my opinion, you lose any subtlety in the programming, particularly with awkward syncopation (which jungle excels at!)
Secondly, I used to go to a lot of breakbeat nights in London (mostly Fabric, sometimes the End, and a few times at some of those ghastly houses of sin that open at 6am and don't close till 5pm... you KNOW you've been on a proper mission when you've been to the Egg or the Aquarium!!)
Anyway, I always felt that the tunes they play (Finger Lickin' records, Cut & Run, etc) were alright... ish... but every now and then I'd hear an absolute smacker - a Congo Natty style rinse-out - and so that's the kind of tune I try to make, basically.
In short, someone who only played breaks could chuck one of my tunes into his set, as a bit of a "something different", and it would hopefully go down pretty well among the people who aren't normally exposed to 'breakbeats' (where there's something rhythmically challenging in the music - as opposed to the kind of 'breakbeat' where the only qualification for a tune as such is that its tempo lies between 120 and 140, and that it isn't house...)
BTW, the Fabric Live CD by Tayo is an excellent example of this.
Oh yeah, and the bass sounds... the wibbly-wobbly one is Lightwave (as is the very high-pitched 'computery noise', as I like to call it), and the very deep bass is Minimax - though I'm thinking of switching that for something else - not sure what though.
Cheers!

PS Hopefully this would work in a dubstep set too - I'd like to think the people would enjoy it in that context anyway!
