[ptrLeGrand]

Hajnal 9000 (since Hajnal 2 already exists)

[DNBJerk]

Man, I want to see him live so bad.

[wildcardelectro]

He makes me think of Lorin (Bassnectar). I think it might be the hair...

[Peaserist]

BREAKCORE MAKES ME WANT TO HIT SOMETHING ITS SO MAD AND EPIC O$SRHYU

[NoiseBlizzard]

And I have to note, they can't decide whether to mosh or rave. I have a hard time deciding myself :P

[NoiseBlizzard]

He's my hero.

[FrobblOo]

masodik galamb

my fav. venetian song.

[victordk13]

it's Hajnal actually. this part starts from 4:45 in album version.

[mr12000dotexe]

Man I wish I could go to one of these huge ass festivals, but they're all in Europe. America is a bunch of pussies and we can't appreciate this kinda stuff here, so I've only seen him next door to a bar. I mean, it was awesome as shit, but the crowds were obviously way smaller.

[randolph1977]

huge festivals suck... the small venues is where its at, the knitting factory in LA last year was awesome, the keyclub nov. 5th, next week should have a decent enough size crowd and will definately rock, they can keep there huge venues as long as the music is loud as **** and the small crowd that is actually there is way into it

[mr12000dotexe]

Definitely, I know what you mean. The place I'm talking about is Reggie's Rock House in downtown Chicago. He actually played another show there just a week ago. Missed that one, though. :/ The first time wasn't all the lively, but the 2nd time I saw him there shit was mad crazy, TONS of mosh.

[Enkonto]

pure crazyness....

[DadidiFTW]

meh.

[QuantumAnomaly]

I saw VSnares at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood and it was absolutely psychotic and life-changing. If you haven't been to one of his shows yet, go do it - now!

[mrblinkk]

WHAT MACHINE IS THAT?

the one that he twists knobs on to morph the sounds and shit

please tell me if you know haha

[bellerophonrex]

Aaron uses 2 older model Denon cdj's (3500's I think) and a Pioneer DJM800 dj mixer, it's got great fx in it.

[theBigTakeover]

Amazing.

Rosz is the best breakcore album ever.

[MilkChan]

Hajnal!

[neusdits]

el puto amo

[TEAMOJULIE]

creo que es pura finta.

[GreatRussianHellfire]

truely fucking epic. this man is a musical genious.

[therealhypnoskull]

this was a great night for sure, still feel the intensity there.

[vinunleaded]

My head hurts :-(

[Nicetry75]

live with it.

[vinunleaded]

I don't need to.

I navigate away from this page and *baaaaazing* headache gone!

[poopr1221]

if you didn't want a headache, why did you come to this vid in the first place?

[poopr1221]

whatever. idc what other people say. vsnares is and will always be at the top of my breakcore list.

[McYaballow]

you have a breakcore list?

[Nicetry75]

lol. I have 1 and vsnares is def #1 followed by Dev/Null, Doormouse and Knifehandchop.

[stiletomafioso]

your all such a bunch of geeks!!!

[clichevisuals]

Geeks to the power!!!

[m1ndNOVA]

.......and?

[ihitterdal]

Agreed. Geeks rule.

[rockintom99]

Hooray!

[narofl]

Geeks > You!

[Nicetry75]

If this is what geeks liten 2, then count me in! LETS GEEK IT UP MUTHA FUCKA!!!!!!

[dworzan17]

kocham cie! zrobie loda za koncert w polsce!

[xxmattisfatxx]

for a start its 7/4 not 7/8 but who cares anyway its sounds good lol

[McYaballow]

both are correct, it could be even 7/128; just a matter of preference really.

[DraPsicotica]

BreakCore !!!!!!!! =) (L)

[jaimetrevino420]

no mames la gente nisiquiera sabe ni que pedo jajajajaja

[pictizm]

recht over de voruit kocht ik vroeger zn albums xD

music mania ghent returns!!! >:D

[drillbeatcrash]

Venetian Snares remixed Fanny's We Like The Music into We Change The Music. I like the title.

[marcov88]

venetian snares is one of the kings of breakcore thats for sure

[Droyd21]

Wow, he is REALLY is able to keep with everything, you can tell. As a breakcore artist, Snares really stands out in my opinion, especially because he is using "less conventional" samples most of the time. Aphex did come up (more or less) with the jittery ritms and stuff which served as a basis for IDM (or whatever), but you know, allthough Snares' music might be derived from that, it still is pretty innovative on its own.

[Blastbeat420]

Aaron was innovative in the way that he used odd time signatures frequently (almost every song for that matter haha) and very effectively, whereas other breakcore artists could not keep up.

[Droyd21]

He once said in an interview that he and Fanny (another artist) had the same "spirit" in their music, and I claim I knew pretty well what he ment by that. The time signatures he is using is just one of those things that contribute to that typical "haunted" snares feel...Personally, I think it is that particular feel/spirit that made him one of the most popular breakcore artists today.

[jantje66]

he is also one of the few dj's that uses different musical_time then 4/4, although i doubt even 10% in the audience knows that

[Droyd21]

Yeah , I've been wondering that too...

I am not schooled in music but i have always had the impression that there is some repition goes on each seven beats in his record "number 7"

[drumminggenius]

nearly all his tracks are in 7

[Droyd21]

Maybe, I haven't paid that much attention to it, I just noticed it listening to that particular song.

[HyperTorrent]

Almost all of his tracks except for maybe the earliest stuff and his orchestral pieces are in 7/8 I believe.

IIRC, he's made a few songs that are 11/8 also.

[drumminggenius]

Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding is a cool album. and pretty much all of that is in some other time signatures like 23/16 n shit.

love it

[Nicetry75]

Cavaclade Of Glee and Dadist Happy Hardcore Pom Poms made great use of the 5/10 signature. I guess we can all saftly say aaron has a very unique and complex musical mind.

[llllllSCARFAC3llllll]

I love Nicetry75's comments cuz he always has a comment for what im thinking lol

were very like-minded haha

[REJANOCOJONES33]

ponsela a tu madre por las noches

[GrandPopPoplock]

What song is this ?

[codenamepillow]

It's titled "Hajnal".

[GrandPopPoplock]

Thank You .

[Bremsstrahlung1]

hang in there friend, don't let those bible thumpers get you down, vsnares4life.

[HenryJuice]

mister richard d james invented this kind of crazy music dudes

[dorksighted]

True, RDJ was a pioneer of skittery hyper breaks, but I remember when Come to Daddy came out I kinda thought he was jumping on the bandwagon, as dnb was blowing up around that time. Mind you, I loved his music since '94 and still do, but I wouldn't credit him as THE inventor. Musical progression is a collaborative effort.

[Larviii]

He was just doing that track for a joke anyways, wasn't he? Just like Squarepusher did "My red hot car" to take the piss on Craig David etc

[dorksighted]

Part of his genius is the way he makes tracks that can be artistically brilliant and cheeky at once. There is a fine line between genius and madman, I think this is reflected in his music.

Anyway, this reminds me of how Beastie boys were a punk group, until they did cookiepuss as a piss take of hip hop, and it became a hit, so then they became rappers?!?!? I know it's not too relevant to the comment, but I am a random rambler, hehe.

[shady454]

Seriously, if you could get near the complexity of most venetian snares's tracks, you deserve some credit. But if you think all it takes is loading samples and pressing play, I'm geussing you couldn't.

I've read interviews where he said that all he does is write music (in terms of work I suppose). Also look at classical composers and how much they wrote, so there's no reason why venetian snares couldn't.

[samaikos]

Venetian snares is the BIGGEST FRAUD of music industry. 29 releases since 2000? COMMON!!!

Load samples in renoise and press play.WOW!

[grawny]

You're a total idiot.

The music he makes is not simply loading samples, he cuts and slices beats up then adds loads of layers and makes the best basslines you will ever hear.. i'd like to hear what YOU can do.. pricko.

[noisefox]

It's not that simple dude, all Aaron Funk does with his time is make music non-stop. He has built up enough skill to be able to produce thought-out albums so prolifically.

[dorksighted]

Kinda like how you load up useless remarks into your cerebral cortex and spew them out without even knowing what you're talking about. WOW!

[samaikos]

POTSO

[metalslugzorz]

Excellent

[NecroReich]

fave song [L]

[sheatheman]

it sucks to live in texas where there is no dnb scene.

[aaasamaaa]

not DNB though, it's breakcooore lol

[sheatheman]

breakcore is a sub-genre of dnb.

breakcore spawned from dnb because people like aphex twin and venetian snares and squarepusher started programming more and more complex beats. you see break comes from break-beat which is the foundation of dnb.

[aaasamaaa]

breakcore has exsisted since 1990, and broke off of metal music, shut up.

[sheatheman]

let me restate. dnb and breakcore came from the same place and are very similar musically. both run at around 170bpm or above. both use obscure phrasings of sampled beats, and both came from hardcore/gabber type artists.

you are right about the 90's part, but i dont know where you get metal from.

anyways there isn't this huge difference between breakcore and dnb. artists like technical itch or aphex twin have created music in both genres...

[aaasamaaa]

look at artists like Aaron Spectre, watch the documentary on Breakcore (Notes on Breakcore), and any how, like I said it's not DNB.

[sheatheman]

shut up faggot

[sheatheman]

talking to myself

[dorksighted]

Hey, I live in Oklahoma City where it is strictly a bedroom scene, and I have driven to Dallas so many times just to see a decent DJ. The bible belt sucks my ass.

[specialkate00]
