Obviously it is a wide genre of electronic music. However it does have the few defining characteristics. Fast, heavy, distorted and punk influenced pop, jazz, techno and rock sounds along with psychedelic music influences characterize the style. Obviously certain groups, and artists were influenced more strongly by some more than others.

Fat boy Slim, is more funky. The prodigy, are more punk. The chemical Brothers and the Crystal method are more techno.

Producing Big Beat is all about big sound. The drums should be distorted and loud. Vocals can have a punk edge, and also be distorted. Intense bass lines and synthesizer loops are also characteristic of the style.
Fast drops of elements, explosive addition or return of elements, wind and droning noises and extreme work in the stereo field are also common.

This is style of electronic-based music I first got into. The prodigy’s fat of the land album is still a favorite.

Now if you didn’t understand any of that, A sound loop is a piece of audio. It can be a drum beat, a guitar riff, dripping water, tools being used and anything else you can imagine. You use them to make songs. Mainly electronica styles. Glitch is a style of electronica based on weird machine noises. Think video game in a blender.

If you’re more interested in instrument based music, this really isn’t a good article for you.

There are lots of ways to change loops. Altering pitch, using the equalization to change the focus of the sound, effects and more. The only limits on what can be achieved are the ones on your imagination. Take a Drum loop and put it through a distortion effect, try the settings, you never know what it’ll sound like!

Try running the same piece of sound through a bunch of different effects. Try combinations of effects.
I will only insist on one thing. Use a compression effect. Compressor software limits the level of volume a track can go past. Since some effects, and combinations of effects can produce ear splitting sounds, always use compression when experimenting with warping loops!

A fun trick I’ve used is to import a movie to my production software. I get rid of the video and run the audio through various effects till I get something I like. You end up with over an hour of bizarre and distorted sounds to play with. Best of all since the sounds maintain the ups and downs of a movie soundtrack; without sounding anything like one, what you get is always unique. It can be cool when a bit of sound drifts through, that you can tell is voices, but cant make any of it out.

The key to getting your own collection of unique and amazing sounds, is to play and experiment. there’s always a cool new effect someone has put up for free, always new things to explore.

I have roughly 3-4 albums worth of new material ready to go, I just need to create new Art for them, and get them uploaded to my music site. I plan on giving you one of my best new songs as a free single. It’s called ‘Into every life some rain will fall’. I honestly consider it to be one of the best I’ve ever done.

I lost my net connection for a long time, and that left me with a ton of ideas to pursue, so I ended up swamping myself with stuff to keep up with. As well as a new addiction to an online game Ive been reviewing for Clock Assassin.

So to those few loyal reader Ive managed to accumulate, I am truly sorry for the delay in getting Acidhedz.com back up and running full steam, but the site getting hacked blind sided me, at what was a highly inopportune moment, not that there really is an opportune moment to have a site you’ve been working on for 2 years suddenly disappear on you.
