Haze £16

This budget-priced lo-fi hip-hop pack plays it very straight with regard to genre conventions, and thus comes across as quite samey in its 15 stemmed drum loops (60 files) and 15 sub-basslines. Things get more intriguing with the music loops (15 again), while two superb Songstarter construction kits clarify the direction of the library as a whole and leave you wanting more. 30 one-shot drums and a handful of atmospheres and FX complete the picture, and ultimately, Haze is a fairly-priced if not massively memorable creative resource. sounds.beatport.com
