Dan Can Make Beats

Daniel Bertrand-Grell

Just a random depressed INTP-T type guy called Dan from somewhere in South London that can make beats. I've been making music for 22+ years. My main DAW is FL Studio. I sometimes rewire to Reason. Mainly started making beats to tackle panic attacks, depression and general anxiety over the years. I'm mainly a film actor outside of music. I've started to transition into film scoring lately musically. My genres are Electronic, Hip Hop/ Boom-Bap, Drill/ Grime, R'n'B, Cinematic Film and Soundtrack. @DanCanMakeBeats (IG and YouTube) @DanielBGrell (Acting profiles)

  1. Blaze (Phase 2) - Dan Can Make Beats

    Blaze (Phase 2) - Dan Can Make Beats

    Blaze (Cinematic Boss Battle Suite) - Full Arc ​The Final Confrontation has Begun. ​This track presents the complete musical experience for a multi-stage boss fight Phase 2 (the desperate, relentless final climax). ​The 20-Year Journey of Blaze ​This piece is a cinematic re-orchestration of my original Grime instrumental which was first created in 2006. The fierce rhythmic drive and core melody were initially forged on Fruity Loops 6 (FL Studio 6) using classic stock plugins like Sytrus. ​This new, massive orchestral version takes that foundation and escalates it dramatically, translating the electronic aggression into sweeping brass, driving percussion, and high-stakes orchestral tension. It's a modern, cinematic take on a classic track—the sound of a Grime beat fighting for its life on a massive cinematic scale. ​🕹️ Inspired by Gaming Giants ​The dramatic intensity and genre-blending style of Blaze draw heavily from my favorite game scores: ​From the Past: Sonic Adventure, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Headhunter, and the influential Virtua Fighter (Sega Saturn Version). ​Modern Influences: Cyberpunk 2077, Sonic Frontiers, MGSV, and the Hitman World Of Assassination trilogy. ​🎭 Fun Fact: Music to Acting ​This track has a surprising legacy: it's the reason I got into acting! The original beat caught the attention of the 'Adulthood' production team on MySpace, leading to a competition win that landed me a role in one scene of the film. ​Credits & Production ​Original Concept & Re-orchestration: Dan Can Make Beats (Daniel Bertrand-Grell) ​String Arrangement Finalization: The intricate string work that gives the track its dramatic depth was produced with the help of SUNO. ​Artwork: The visual for this release was created with assistance from Gemini. ​#BossBattleMusic #CinematicMusic #Electronic #OrchestralScore #VideoGameMusic #Grime

    Runnin' From My Demons - Dan Can Make Beats | Neo Soul / RnB

    “Runnin’ From My Demons” A Neo Soul / Alt-R&B piece about heartbreak, anxiety and trying to drink away the thoughts that won’t leave you alone. Late-night bar energy, one man, one phone, too many messages he shouldn’t reread. Ironically, I actually wrote this whilst clubbing back in 2017/2018 and it stayed in my notes until now. I planned to release it but I gave up being an artist to just compose/ produce. Then AI came along and I thought... why not get AI to sing it in tune. 🤣 Performed vocally by AI written and produced entirel by me Dan Can Make Beats. UNOFFICIAL reinterpretation and tribute inspired loosely by: Seb Zero – “New Step” (Prod. Young Dot [Dot Rotten]) - Respect to the original and it's producer. All composition credit for the original motif belongs to the original creators. No copyright infringement intended – Rights holders can contact me any time for changes or removal.

    When You Cry (Instrumental) - Dan Can Make Beats

    Howdy, I'm back, existing. Yes, I know its been a while. Life has been really CHAOTIC and not the best but I'm back uploading music. Not everything acting career. Anyway, decided to flip Will You Cry - Chic into a modern beat akin to a more "Drilly Sound" but nothing crazy. Anyway, hope you like! Dan Can Make Beats @DanielBGrell

    Predicament(Instrumental) - Dan Can Make Beats

    This is a previously unreleased track pretty much... levelled out a bit and updated the instruments. I guess it's a fusion of all my usual styles on a lower tempo. I don't really know what to class it? Guess RnB? Guess Hip Hop? I don't know... I make what I feel. Been playing this to music out and about and thought I'd share. Enjoy Dan! @DanCanMakeBeats (IG) @DanielBertrand_
