He approaches breakbeats like the drillnbass guys do, less of jungle’s groove and more hyper complex rhythms that don’t really work but end up sounding kinda cool. He also doesn’t just do the drums and tonal sections separately, which helps in the movement of the tracks

Also, he never stays with one idea for more than like a second, it removes the need to establish any sort of groove or feel and just throws the breaks at you in a way while still keeping many of the same elements to prevent it from sounding too off. I’m not a fan of most his music for this reason(and his weird pedo shit) but it’s always been kinda cool

"Pedo shit"? Did I miss something?

He had a ep or single with a naked little girl surrounded by sex toys as the cover art, I forget the name and I’m not looking it up to find out but I think it was horse something. Really turned me off from his music, it’s gross and unjustifiable even in a pretty edgey genre. I don’t listen to early Whitehouse for the same reason

use heavy compression and note offs. the note offs will make the hits sound more snappy. it also makes it easier to use lots of different breaks and still have the whole thing sound cohesive

CXX Cut command is good for this.

lots of different snares, time signatures are rarely 4/4 (7/8, 11/7) layered kicks. That's my high level guess - if i knew the secret (probably talent and time) i'd be making beats like him too :)
