Cycle back to the 80s!
Our sample masters were tasked to travel back in time four decades to pick up some soundware! Cyclick’s Robbie explains his choices…
“The 80s may always be associated with mullet hairdos, marble wash jeans and gated reverbs, but as is always the case, there was much more going on…
“No, this isn’t a set of samples based on the lead up to the 1989 fall of the Berlin wall or the siege at the Iranian embassy in London in 1980, but rather an accompaniment to the set which will be delivered by my brother in loops and Groove Criminal to the right. Knowing that he will no doubt cover the classics of drum machine and synth, I have opted to focus on the electric guitar and bass.
“The following acts were aurally digested while creating these samples: Talking Heads, Talk Talk, The Police, Japan, ABC, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Cameo, The Cure, The Human League, Tears For Fears, Magazine, Duran Duran, U2, Haircut 100, Wham! and Killing Joke.”
