Breaks & Beats £30

As the title implies, this one’s all about the hip-hopstyle drums, with a comparative handful of melodics and FX playing second fiddle to the beats, despite matching them for quality. The headlines, then, are 26 MPC-style stemmed drum loops (181 files), 42 more live sounding ‘drum breaks’, 24 hi-hat loops, 20 percussion loops and ten drum fills, coming together as a diverse smorgasbord of funky fodder, with an enormous collection of fantastic one-shots and foley sounds serving up the icing on the cake. The mid-side processing feels a bit OTT in places, mind. samplemagic.com
