Jazztronica 2 £30

The jazz element of Sample Magic’s 1.8GB hybrid library comes into play in its sultry, smoky mini construction kits, which use double bass, piano, trumpet, sax and other ‘real’ instrumentation for the production of 30 supremely-usable stemmed loops. The rest of Jazztronica 2 is essentially focused on establishing a downtempo hip-hop vibe, from the crisp, swung (and stemmed) beats and sinuous b-lines, to the crusty synths/keys and spacey FX. It all comes together beautifully, and the 100 Serum presets don’t hurt, either. www.samplemagic.com
