Hypercolor Hip Hop £20

33 wonderfully wonky, swaggering beats, supplemented with a wealth of one-shot kicks, snares, hats and percussives, set the mood for this bargain-priced 350MB hip-hop sample library. It’s the Melodies & Vibes folder that really grabs the attention, though, bursting with vinyl-flavoured snippets, crate-dug hooks, cut-up manipulations, funky licks and more – an audio lucky dip, if you will. There are some very usable bits and pieces to be found among the rap vocals, too, and the whole thing comes together as more than the sum of its parts. loopmasters.com
