Four4 – Electro From $7.99/month

> The mid-’80s electro era gets a polish for the modern dancefloor, to great effect, on this popping (and locking) sample set. Ringing claps and shiny synths strut atop some serious bottom-end business, with all those retro-styled beats, robot riffs, and acidy squeaks and wiggles, sounding fresher than ever. There are also hints reminiscent of the seminal electro compilation here, early Detroit influences, and stylings you’d find among the beats of contemporary experimenters in that sound, like AUX88. These one-shots, loops and presets make for a booming collection of updated street sounds, evoking boomboxes, The Worm, and more, with a modern production twist. Roy Spencer splice.com
