Barato Bounce Vol.1 £15

The first sample pack from industry vet, Nathan Barato (who founded the RAWthentic brand back in 2004). The Toronto native sets the bar high for this new series, digging into his hot and heavy crates of house and tech house track-starters. The basslines shimmy and shake, and feel ripped clean out of one of his many club-rocking releases of late. And all the drums punch way above their pay grade on such a budget pack. “Barato” may translate as “cheap” (thanks, Google), but, there’s nothing cut-rate going on here. samplemarket.co.uk
