From the producer of the excellent Funk City and Nu Jazz City libraries comes this 70s-inspired collection of funk riffs, scratches and drum beats.
It isn't as thematically cohesive as those previous libraries (eg, digitally-edited horn cut-ups sit alongside funky guitar licks that sound like they've come straight from the vaults), but the quality level remains high and usable for a wide range of styles.
Whether you're into modern or classic funk, Retro-Funky Breaks is well worth your time, and with 1.27GB of unique content, it's a good deal too.
