SampleRadar: 246 free dirty Dutch house samples
Say the words 'dirty Dutch house' to the average man on the street and he might conjure up images of a mud-splattered windmill (possibly with a set of clogs sitting on the doorstep), but SampleRadar thinks rather differently.
Dutch house is, of course, a hard-edged style of dance music from the Netherlands, and this week's collection takes inspiration from it.
What you need to know
The dirty Dutch house samples are split into ten folders: there are eight tempo-labelled construction kits plus FX and bonus beat folders.
All the samples are supplied as 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 dirty Dutch house samples are supplied in a zip file, so you'll need to extract them before you can see them. Enjoy!
