Audiotent – Realm £37

> Wanna touch ground on a (b)rave new world of tech house samples? It’s a loopy land, with an abundance of basslines, built from the boots up, to suit any palette, each one demanding to be noticed, and determined to fit into any future club-troubling tracks you’re eyeballing. Drum-wise, these really do knock. Devastating off-the-peg, or pulled apart to reveal their layers – allowing each one of them to realise its maximum potential, as it joins your ranks. The pads, chords, and atmospheres kick up a stink, too, providing a faint whiff of mood, or a full-on sensory overload of tone and texture as you freak and tweak ‘em to your heart’s delight. In short, go explore. Roy Spencer audiotent.com
