Containing a wide selection of loops, single-hits and multis, this one is designed very much with hard house producers in mind.


Each folder within the Kits section is named according to the tempo of its loops, which range from 126bpm to 136bpm. These offer various combinations of drum voicings: kick and hats; snare and hats; kick and snare.

You'll also find melodic bass, synth and vocal loops, while the multisampled instruments include basses, electric pianos and a house organ.

The content is very well produced and should provide plenty of ammunition for even the most prolific producer.
