Signal – Tech Drum And Bass £30

Jonathan Kievit, aka Signal, joins the illustrious ranks of Loopmasters’ Artist Series producers with 1GB of joyously filthy one-shots and loops, the vast majority of the latter at 172bpm. Some of the beats are so distorted that they almost cross the line of usability, and the basslines and one-shot FX aren’t exactly shy about saturation, either; yet the overarching theme of the Music Loops folder is one of delicacy and sonic beauty. The contrast works very successfully, making this an impressive debut from the Dutch DnBer. loopmasters.com
