Hello and welcome back to music club,
Before the break we discussed how to apply compression to a snare drum,
Now I'll show you how to create the basic arrangement & outline
For what is known in the industry as a gardy riddem.

When producing drum and bass don't limit yourself to just one or two drums,
You can always add more into the equation,
Why not try adding a bit of, bongo

Hello and welcome back to music club,
This is er the roll out,
And now we go into the break down,
This is the moment in the song where it's important
To let the listener know that things have changed,
By now you should be thinking about
How were going to tear off the song
And build it up into a big crescendo.

So there you have it
The complete guide on how to write a massive club banger
So that's goodbye from me,
And goodbye from music club
See ya later gang.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chase & Status's song Music Club are a meta commentary on music production itself. The song is essentially a tutorial on how to produce drum and bass music, with the lyrics walking the listener through various production techniques and tips. The first verse talks about using compression on a snare drum and how to create the basic outline for a "gardy riddem," which is a drum and bass rhythm pattern. The second verse advises the listener to not limit themselves to just a few drums, and even suggests adding bongos into the mix. Finally, the chorus refers to the "roll out," which is a change in the rhythm pattern that builds into a big crescendo.

The beauty of this song is that it's both playful and instructive. It's written in a conversational tone, as if the listener is in a music production class and the singer is their teacher. While the lyrics may seem simple on the surface, they actually contain a lot of technical information about producing electronic music. The song's message is that anyone can learn how to create a club banger with enough practice and persistence.
