How to Make a Nettspend Type Beat: Distorted Rage + Free Loops

Updated 30 Oct 2026

A Nettspend type beat is underground rage at its most raw: a screechy, distorted synth lead, hats that run in fast two-step bursts and an 808 pushed so hard it almost breaks. Nettspend came up in the underground rage and plugg scene, young and loud, and his beats sound chaotic on purpose. The trick is to do a lot with very little. One or two wild synths, a squeaky hat pattern and a saturated 808 carry the whole thing, and the distortion is the instrument, not a finishing touch.

Loops to start with

You do not need a finished beat to start. The Nettspend loops sit in step 1 and again at the bottom, ready to play.

What BPM and key is a nettspend type beat?

Most of these run between 135 and 170 BPM, with a lot landing around 150. The jerk-leaning ones sit near 150, the faster rage cuts push up past 160, so pick the tempo from the energy you want rather than a fixed number.

The key is where Nettspend beats break the rules. A lot of trap lives in minor, but many of his beats lean on major chords, often off a sharp root note, which is what gives them that happy but dark, almost nostalgic feel. Minor still works for the darker ones, so try both and keep whatever makes the melody sound the most unhinged.

However you choose, tune the 808 to the root of your loop and follow the chord notes, because the low end has to sit right under the melody.

  1. 1Pick a loop
    a screechy, distorted synth in major or minor, 135 to 170 BPM. Grab one from the list below, they are already in tempo and hand-played.

  2. 2Lay the 808
    push it hard. One note per chord on the root, set it to cut itself, then drive it with a soft clipper until it almost breaks.
  3. 3Program the hats
    a squeaky two-step pattern with fast rolls. Keep them active but leave a little room so it is not a solid wall.
  4. 4Add clap and snare
    a hard clap or jerk snare on the backbeat, with quick rolls into the next hit for bounce.
  5. 5Drop an accent
    a glass break or a vocal chant on the first beat of every few bars, the little detail that marks the beat as rage.
  6. 6Arrange and distort
    bit crush, saturate and clip the whole thing so it sounds worse but louder, then cut the lows on the melody so the 808 has room.

Where does the nettspend sound come from?

Nettspend is a young artist out of the underground rage and plugg scene, the same lane as names like Osamason and Che, and he broke through on SoundCloud and TikTok with short, loud, chaotic songs.

A lot of his catalog, including cuts like Early Life Crisis and BAFK, leans on one producer sound, built by producers like OK, where the beat is intentionally distorted and lo-fi rather than clean.

That is why the tags here are rage and distorted, not dark and moody. The energy comes from how blown out and chaotic the beat is, so do not clean it up too much.

Which sounds do you actually need?

For the melody, screechy synth leads are the core. Producers reach for XPand pads like a soft pad or a bright bell preset, Serum leads from free banks, or Roland Zenology patches, then pick the most piercing preset they can find. If your melody does not sound wild with only two or three sounds, the sound selection is the problem, not the amount of layers.

Build it simple and chaotic at the same time. Start with a top line that barely moves, add a few bass notes under it, then layer one counter lead that goes a little crazy. Keep it to one or two real ideas and let the processing make them strange.

The 808 is the backbone and it has to be loud and distorted. Tune it to the loop root, follow the chord notes, set it to cut itself and crank it with a soft clipper. One Nettspend move: when the 808 dives very low, bring it back up a note before it loops so it sounds like it has closure instead of cutting off awkwardly.

Drums stay small but squeaky. A two-step hat made from a bright, squeaky hi-hat, an open hat set to cut itself so it chokes into the next one, a clap or jerk snare on the backbeat and a glass break on the first beat of every eight bars. That glass break is the signature accent.

How do you get that distorted, chaotic sound?

Distortion is the whole point, so treat it as an instrument. Run the melody through Gross Beat to chop it, speed it up or gate it, then add bit crushing and a clipper until it feels broken in a good way. A flanger or phaser on a lead helps it blend into the melody instead of sitting on top.

On the master and the 808, a soft clipper boosted into the red is what compresses everything so it sounds almost worse but much louder. That blown out loudness is a feature here, not a mistake.

Mix by carving space, not by cleaning. Cut the lows out of the melody around where the 808 lives, and EQ out the midrange where the vocal will sit so there is room for Nettspend to go off on top. Side-chain the kick to the 808 so the low end stays punchy instead of muddy.

How do you arrange a nettspend type beat?

Keep it short and front-loaded. A common layout is a four bar intro, a sixteen bar hook, a longer verse section, back to the hook and a short outro. The hook comes early so the beat is catchy and easy to place.

Open with an accent. A glass break or a gunshot style hit at the very start is a small nod to the style and sets the chaotic tone before the drums arrive.

Build energy by adding and removing single sounds rather than rewriting parts. Take one layer out for the verse, simplify the 808, then bring everything back for the hook.

What mistakes should you avoid?

Too clean. A polished, tidy mix kills the rage feel. If it does not sound a little broken and loud, you went too careful on the distortion.

Too many sounds. The style is chaotic with only one or two melodies, so stacking five pads just turns it to mud. Pick wild sounds, not many sounds.

A weak 808. If the 808 is quiet or undistorted the whole beat falls apart, because it carries the low end alone. Push it and clip it.

Only other type beats as a reference. Those are made to rap on and sound different from the real songs. Listen to the actual Nettspend records first.

FAQ

What BPM is a nettspend type beat?

Most run 135 to 170 BPM, with a lot around 150. Jerk-leaning beats sit near 150 and faster rage cuts push past 160, so pick the tempo from the energy you want.

Are nettspend type beats major or minor?

Both, and major is the surprise. Many of his beats use major chords off a sharp root for a happy but dark, nostalgic feel, while the darker ones stay minor. Try both and keep whatever sounds the most unhinged.

What makes it sound like Nettspend?

Distortion and chaos from very few sounds. One or two screechy synth leads, a squeaky two-step hat, a glass break accent and an 808 pushed with a soft clipper until it almost breaks.

What instruments and sounds do I need?

A screechy synth lead from XPand, Serum or Zenology, a loud distorted 808 tuned to the loop root, a squeaky two-step hat, an open hat that cuts itself, and a clap or jerk snare. Keep it to a few wild sounds.

How do I arrange a nettspend type beat?

Short and front-loaded: a four bar intro, a sixteen bar hook early, a verse with a layer taken out, back to the hook, short outro. Open with a glass break or gunshot accent.
