Inspired by the beatmakers of Southern rap.

Let them know that a change is gonna come...

Building blocks for your next club monster

All the sounds you need to make a club smash

Build beats and add finishing touches

New! Pro-quality sounds you don't have to pay for

Percussion to most people means congas, shakers and the like, but you can also add rhythmic interest using electronic instruments

Sounds that go up, down and all around

Feel the heat of these smooth sounds

Slick hip-hop and pop beatshelp you to do it.

Like the waistband on our elasticated trousers when we slip them on after the Christmas break, all the sounds in this collection have been subject to some extreme stretching

The sounds you get from recording with a contact mic are very different to those you'd capture with a standard microphone, which is good news for experimental noise makers.

Whatever kind of music you're making, there's almost always a place for an atmospheric bed of sound to set the mood and fill out the mix

The term stadium house doesn't refer to a place of residence that doubles as a major sporting venue, but big, crowd-rousing music that's guaranteed to fill the biggest of rooms

Drips, drops, splashes and more

Drum loops and acoustic guitar parts

It'd be madness to miss out!

Pre-pumped sounds for your productions

Music producers are contrary creatures. They spend half their time trying to add dirt to sounds, and the other half working on clarity and brightness

A supreme selection of other-worldly sounds

Get the sound of this iconic synth

Let the machines take over your productions

House music has certainly evolved over the years, but many of us still have a fondness for the deep bass, tight beats and simple instrumentation that typified its early sound

Stock up on 8-bit and messed-with sounds

If you like your samples short and sweet, look away now, because we're focusing here on sounds that have been stretched and shifted out of their original sonic form.
