Samplesound – Artist Series: Duke £18

Following on from last month’s sweet Candi Staton vocal pack, the Samplesound team line up another artist for you loop-choppers to get your mitts on. This time it’s Duke – the Greek tech and minimal house producer who has been getting heat with his releases and remixes on labels like Mut, Whoyostro, and Southpoint of late.

On his debut 500MB pack he gets to showcase some of his lively, stripped back, grooves. There are 20 bouncy bass loops, 35 tough drum workouts, 20 well engineered textures, 20 playful FX, and 20 striking one-shot claps/snares to round it off. All in all, it’s a great insight into this next waver’s arsenal, with plenty of solid samples to pick out and prop up your next club production with.
