LA Sessions £35

This 1GB West Coast house library (474 samples, 130 MIDI files) is packed with uplifting, creatively inspiring loops and lines. As well as the expected stemmed drum grooves and basslines (all of which are excellent, particularly the beats), dedicated folders of mallet, piano and guitar loops work in the requisite ‘real’ instrumentation. The Music Loops section features some supremely catchy riffs, and Sample Magic’s ever-present Inspiration Loops mini construction kits are as impressive as ever. Cali-fantastic. www.samplemagic.com
