Description
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)

Blaze (Phase 2) - Dan Can Make Beats
2025/12/10
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.

Runnin' From My Demons - Dan Can Make Beats | Neo Soul / RnB
2025/11/21
“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
2024/12/30
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!

Predicament(Instrumental) - Dan Can Make Beats
2019/07/28
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!
