Trap & Pop £30
No prizes for guessing the theme of this one: fusing trap attitude with pop gloss and melodiousness, Sample Magic’s genre-blending library actually ends up finding its own stylistic ground. Clocked at 140bpm but with a half-time feel, Trap & Pop’s beats, basslines, and melodic and vocal loops are full of intriguing ideas and expertly engineered; and there’s something of a future bass air to some of the 15 ‘music’ mini construction kits that meshes well with the rest of the material. 33 Serum presets and plenty of very exploitable one-shots bring it home. samplemagic.com
