Sample Magic – Rolling D&B £14.99

A ‘what it says on the tin’ collection of deep and rich sample ammo for the discerning Junglist who likes to shake the odd speaker cone. Loops, hits, pads, and MIDI pearlers make up this 324-piece set, repping the old and new schools of drum & bass. Vintage de-tuned 808 basslines fight for your attention, as taut and engaging Neurofunk synth lines emerge from the darkness. The drums, from custom kits, keep the energy levels where they need to be. Fizzing hats and percussion loops will drive new transitions in your drum programming forward, as the snares reign down like freshly struck coffin nails on any beat you drop them on. Plenty of bits for your next banger, then.
