Sammy Virji & Interplanetary Criminal - Damager (Extended)(Ableton Stencil - Speed Garage)
Ableton Live Stencil: “Damager (Extended Mix)” by Sammy Virji, Interplanetary Criminal
(Structural arrangement only, no audio included)
This Ableton Live stencil is a fully mapped arrangement guide based on Damager (Extended Mix) by Sammy Virji and Interplanetary Criminal, a 138 BPM speed garage track built around groove, repetition, and subtle variation. The original uses a short chopped vocal loop and simple bass movement to create momentum that stays engaging from start to finish.
Think of this stencil like a coloring book page for producers. The full structure is already laid out so you can skip the blank session and jump straight into creating with your own sounds.
Built around the extended mix arrangement, this project clearly shows how the track moves from intro to outro using minimal elements that are rotated, muted, and reintroduced over time. You can see how small changes in timing, filtering, and placement keep the track moving forward without relying on complex arrangement shifts.
Instead of guessing where parts should go, you are given a clear arrangement map showing where kicks, drums, bass, vocal chops, and effects typically live in this style of speed garage. This stencil is especially useful for understanding how a short vocal loop can be chopped, placed, and reused across the entire track without becoming repetitive.
One of the main takeaways in this stencil is how call and response is handled between bass phrases and supporting elements. You can clearly see how simple bass movements are offset against each other, making this a great template for practicing your own call and response ideas while keeping the groove clean and focused.
This stencil works for all producer levels. Beginners get a clear visual understanding of how modern speed garage tracks are structured, while experienced producers get a fast, organized foundation for experimenting with vocal chops, bass patterns, and groove variations.
