Dark Garage 2 £35

A moody, menacing take on the usually peppy urban genre, Dark Garage 2 kicks off with 41 stemmed drum loops and a disappointing 20 bass loops. The basses are big and imposing, and the drums merge the shuffle of garage with grimier instrumentation. 44 Music loops in mini construction kit form (bass, strings, pad, vox, etc) continue the melancholy feel, while the Synth loops folder covers a broad sonic spectrum with its 33 samples. DG2 is certainly a novel take on the style and there are plenty of beautiful sounds to be plundered. www.samplemagic.com
