Phat House £16

The centrepiece of Cr2’s bargain-priced tech house library is a set of six Songstarter construction kits, each housing the meat of a full track for deconstruction, remixing or lifting samples and/or MIDI from. They’re brilliantly produced, for sure, but their utility is obviously limited. Fortunately, the rest of the loops and hits are equally high-quality, taking in stemmed beats, basslines, synth leads, FX and male MC-style vocals. The 20 presets for LennarDigital’s Sylenth1 synth don’t hurt, either, and it all adds up to a lot of usable content for the asking price. www.sampletoolsbycr2.com
