Just like those who listen to it, house music doesn't stand still, which is why it's a genre that SampleRadar feels compelled to revisit frequently.
This week, we're giving you a collection of bustling cutting-edge percussion loops, all of which were produced using Reason's awesome Kong Drum Designer.
What you need to know
The samples are split into three folders: these contain the original versions of the loops, processed versions and the individual parts for each loop.
All the samples are supplied as 24-bit WAV files so can be imported directly into your DAW or sampler of choice. Because they're royalty-free, you're welcome to use the samples in your music in any way you like - all we ask is that you don't re-distribute them.
The upfront house percussion samples are supplied in a zip file, so you'll need to extract them before you can see them. Enjoy!
