This is one EPIC-sized random beat!  Sometimes a track needs the extra time to evolve properly.  Lots of big sound in here, but I feel like I’m not sure everyone will appreciate the complexity.  Admittedly, there’s a lot going on.

I kept thinking about how very Hybrid-esque it sounded to me while I was making it.  Of course, I’m a huge fan, so it’s certain they’ve become a significant influence.

This track is like a random beats 2-for-1 sale.  Starting out as a uniform techno stomper, the tempo is modulated midway through to transform this minimal caterpillar into a paranoid dubstep butterfly.  There is sharp contrast between the two parts, despite using the same bass instrument.

This glitchy techno track has some great space to it.  The first instrument that comes in has a very spooky sound.  Once the sharp synth comes in, the track is very noticeably disrupted, but the spookiness continues.

Simple in it’s execution, but not without some technicality, this chilled-out dubstep track has 2 dueling basslines which compete for superiority while the electric piano adds some great texture.

After a short break, the random beats series is back!

Granted, this is not the longest random beat in this volume, but I think the livelihood of this very old-school sounding jungle roller makes up for its few faults.   I really like the fills that come in during the second half of the track.
