Sample Magic Dark Dub 2 £14.99

Looking to add moody atmosphere to your next deep beat creation? Shine a light over Sample Magic’s latest offering. Like on the first Dark Dub title, they’ve got a fiendishly good assortment of underground club ammo to keep things rolling into the night. The ghostly vocal chops, devastating drum hits, and speaker-shaking bass riffs will fully fill out any lightweight dubstep, garage or grime tracks. And the key and tempo-labelled melodies are designed to slot into your ongoing arrangements with minimum fuss. The groove throughout is meaty and menacing, with troubling swells and noises coming out of the shadows.

Not for the faint of heart. Roy Spencer samplemagic.com
