This is a resurrected DnB project file from May 2010, initiated after "cow farm" and before "surrender and win". Finally finished and published after a many year hiatus!

Also, I present a tribute to madgamer, who was my biggest musical influence for several years (before I started listening to Aphex Twin in 2012) and helped spawned the bittertooth "style" that proliferates the bulk of my discography. Madgamer was an unconventional DnB producer on Acidplanet, a site where hobbyist musicians congregate to share and critique their creations. In 2004 he began creating and posting DnB music which had charmingly amateurish production qualities and rhythms that one would not expect to find on a jungle venue's dancefloor. In a genre where artists put forth their meanest and sexiest grooves, madgamer put a playful spin on Drum n' Bass, partly through nonchalance, partly through naivety. Here are some examples.

madgamer - the custom job (2004) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d6.....ew?usp=sharing
One of madgamer's earliest songs, "the custom job's" drumbeat gingerly hops along whereas most jungle beats have an elegant flow to them. I find the rhythm to be absolutely infectious, in spite of overt gaps in the slicing. Also, what in the world is that bass? :)

Pay attention to the dueling drumbreaks: the amen break takes center stage while the "you're getting a little too smart" break complements it in stereo difference. (This is a trick I use occasionally). The spooky ambience brands an otherwise sprightly tune with an ominous demeanor.

madgamer - sadness (2004) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ib.....ew?usp=sharing
Madgamer turned a dancefloor commodity into a melancholic and emotive artform through "sadness", with an Eeyore bassline and a clattering "doggone" break, which thinks it has the audacity to play a snare on 3 consecutive beats!

madgamer - reel 2 real (2005) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tr.....ew?usp=sharing
In 2005 madgamer dabbled in drill n bass, which greatly suited his playful tendencies of mangling drumbeats. As you can hear from his pseudorandom composition he's not melodically gifted, but that only adds to the charm as "reel 2 real's" excessive drums tear up a storm while haunting sirens wail.

madgamer - not a thing (2005) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tO.....ew?usp=sharing
This might be one of the greatest drill n bass songs ever created. And I'm saying this without irony. "not a thing" gives zero fucks about convention. It crescendos and climaxes before treating us to a drum breakdown at the end. Classic madgamer style.

madgamer - pitcheroo kangaroo (2007) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sF.....ew?usp=sharing
By 2007 madgamer had honed his production qualities to create suave and dark DnB songs while retaining a signature whimsy. Down under or not, "pitcheroo kangaroo" will mess you up!

By 2008 madgamer had posted roughly 150 drum n bass songs to Acidplanet, and each one seemed to fall just outside the expectations and conventions of danceable, record label drum n bass. But who cares, he was a hobbyist who brought a mystical obtuseness to drum n bass that "tryhards" could not hope to replicate. His discography was spellbinding. I adopted several of his techniques, rhythms, naming conventions, and naïve creative choices, to rebel against the traditions of commercial DnB production that alienated me. Following in madgamer's footsteps at age 16, I aspired to create an absurd quantity of absurd songs, the end result being what you see on my page's song list https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1819463/
