Detroit Techno £35

With sample library prices generally falling, £35 is now the ‘premium’ tier, and Detroit Techno more than lives up to that billing, its 648 loops and 262 oneshots representing great value for money. But this collection doesn’t just score high on quantity – the savvy production can’t be faulted either, from the piercing 303 explorations, elemental basslines and funky synths, to the forward-thrusting drums, syncopated perc and brain-twisting FX. And while the main theme is, as suggested, that classic Detroit sound, the contemporary applications are endless. undrgrndsounds.com
