Headland Flow £44

Produced by Divided Souls, NI’s latest Maschine Expansion takes us back to the earliest days of Southern hip-hop. Headland Flow makes a headline of its acoustic drum kit recordings, which sound great but, not being multisampled, are dynamically one-dimensional. Then there are live performed loops and licks on guitar, keyboard, flute, bass, synths and more, with a palpably vintage feel and clear blues influence, as well as plenty of Drum Synths, and patches for Monark, Reaktor Prism and Massive. Filthy fresh. www.native-instruments.com
