Featurecast Mid Tempo Beats & Breaks 2 | £24.95 www.loopmasters.com
Since his first Loopmasters collection Featurecast has dropped a banger of an album, Shout It
Out, on Jalapeno. And it looks like he’s gone back into the sample-making game with renewed vigour. Among the 283 loops in this monster pack are the usual banging beats, dynamite hits, and all manner of sizzling FX, drops, riffs, and trademark Featurecast basslines. But, as an added bonus amongst the 100-130bpm loops jostling for attention, are some 20 handcrafted and suitably epic presets for Massive that are worth the price of admission alone. As with his other releases, instant dancefloor damage lurks in every corner. Roy Spencer
