It's always nice to have something different  in your collection and DJ Wady turns on that Latino vibe to spice things up with this pack.

Again this is a 'good speed' collection at 125bpm BUT BUT BUT the icing on the cake is definitely the Latin instruments included which feature the likes of pianos, marimbas, sax, trumpets - and one kit even has an 'ethnic flute'. Nice one Mr Wady AND everything is available too on Loopmasters' award-winning Loopcloud software - see the link below.

If you haven't come across DJ Wady before then let Loopmasters fill you in: 'DJ Wady is a world-class world DJ, recording artist, sound engineer, remix producer and director of his own label - Bedroom Muzik. In a world where music is often limited to genres and sounds, DJ Wady has proven to be an integral heavyweight artist. With a track record spanning more than a decade, he has also been recognized as the best DJ in Colombia, with a prestigious Premio Nuestra Tierra award.

'His production entitled "HULK" reached the top of the charts and was supported by Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox, Pete Tong, Tiesto, Solomun, Erick Morillo and many more, with Wady also boasting original productions on labels such as Toolroom Records, Subliminal Records, Cr2 Records, Material, Safe Music, Great Stuff, Unity Recordings, Happy Techno Music, Witty Tunes and more!'

Yep, another stuffed pack giving you 60 top drum loops, 33 bass loops, 30 full drum loops, 30 kick loops, 30 percussion loops, 26 synth loops, 23 brass loops, 20 Latin instrument loops, 18 drum kit loops and 4 FX loops.

SWISS ROLE

Yvan Genkins Swing Tech House - Loopmasters - PC/Mac - Ableton Live 9.7.5, Apple Loops, Reason 5+ Refill £29.95/ Bass & Fx Wav Loops £7.95/Drum + Perc Wav Lps £9.95/One Shots + Patches £7.95/Synth Wav Loops £8.95/ZIP (main) £29.95 - Royalty-free.

If you are (like many of us) a die-hard synth freak then worry ye not because this collection delivers no fewer than SIXTY-SEVEN synth loops in a variety of styles including stabs and glitches and 'almost surreal' sounds.

These are topped off with nice and tuneful electric bass and synth bass plus of course superbly banging drum loops.

Expect to find 67 Synth Loops, 57 Top Loops, 51 Percussion Loops, 48 Bass Loops, 25 Drum part Loops, 15 Full Drum Loops, 9 Fx Loops, 139 Drum Hits, 37 Fx and 14 Vocals in keys of A, B, C, D, E, F,G, A#, C#, D#, F#, G# all moving along at 124-127bpm.

The vocal hits are good too with chants, glitches and other twisted sounds.

I must admit, when I first saw the name, I thought Mr Genkins was Welsh and had just changed the J of Jenkins to a G for artistic reasons. Yeah, wrong...he is from Switzerland as Loopmasters point out: 'Yvan Genkins lives in Switzerland where he was born in 1979. His first impact with electronic music came in the middle 90s, sharing this passion with friends who were organising parties around his city. On the production side, Yvan strives to find rare patterns and beats from every kind of rhythmical music like funk, afro-beat or soul to transform them into his very personal groove and building relentless loops that can bring energy into his powerful tracks. With releases on Material Series, NastyFunk Records, Sagmen, Sola, Safe Music and many more, Yvan is one who’s production is to be applauded.'

Nice words indeed and very true as this pack shows his production skills are 'up there' with the best of them.

This is yet another pack available as well on Loopmasters' award-winning Loopcloud software so why not sign up to the FREE trial and give that a go? Hit the Loopcloud link below.

SUPREME SOUNDSCAPES

CINEMATIC UNDERSCORE FX VOL 3 - Producer Loops - PC/Mac - ACIDized WAV/Apple Loops AIFF Files - Royalty-free - £24.95/28.76 euros. 

If you have dabbled with creating soundtracks, you'll know by now that is is a very difficult and rather time consuming genre to get just right.

So, here is a welcome helping hand from Producer Loops.

In this third volume the kits give you Elements (wet and dry), Impacts, Underwater Impacts, Risers and Underwater Risers, Downers and Underwater Downers, Signatures and Underwater Signatures.

They are all named as well such as Trailer Bassline, Dark Piano, Majestic Piano, Metal Hit, Cardboard, Loggers, Brick Throwing, Gate Reversed to name but nine! Loads of stuff to really enjoy - everything snaps as usual to whatever bpm you fancy but be warned they are not key or tempo labelled. However, that matters not in ye olde cinematic construction game.

Of course they are mainly for soundtracks BUT as Producer Loops rightly point out they are also great to insert into the likes of techno, trance and even psytrance tracks - especially the Risers and Downers.

Hit the link below to check out the streaming audio demo then buy and turn out a 'Hollywood-worthy' soundscape today!!

Afro Pop Vol 1 - PC/Mac - Ableton Live 8.1.3+/ ACIDized WAV/Apple Loops/AIFF Files/REX2 Loops/Reason ReFill/MIDI - Royalty-free - £19.95/23.11 euros.

Another one of those 'nice and different' packs has hit the Producer Loops shelves.

The five kits give you:

• Em - 125bpm
• Am - 100bpm
• Gm - 120bpm
• D#m - 100bpm
• A#m - 94bpm

TERRIFIC TECHNO WITH ACE VOX

Melodic Tech House Vol 1 - PC/Mac -  ACIDized WAV/Apple Loops/AIFF Files/MIDI - Royalty-free -  £29.95/34.81 euros.

Producer Loops kick-off another series with this first volume of Melodic Tech House and it's another of those 10 out of 10 collections. Why? Simple. Producer Loops have included some ACE female vox taken from other packs in their vast library (such as European Pop Vocals) and others and they are as clear as a bell and melodic too and fit in a treat with the tracks.

As per usual, you get the customary five kits which also have MIDI and one-shot folders and you have plenty to play with.

The basslines are superb too with the likes of 'open', 'filtered', Reese and subs plus you get the likes of synths, pads, arps, FX atmos, buildups, strings plus full mixes of each kit and a veritable 'plethora' of drums/percs.

As I've said, everything is nice and melodic which makes using them to create your own track a real pleasure and of course the vox are defintely the icing on this tasty cake!

You get two kits in A at 120 and 124bpm, two in F at 122 and 120bpm and one in G at 120bpm so, as always with Producer Loops, plenty of scope to mix and match with other sounds in your collection because ALL Producer Loops sounds sync to whatever bpm you fancy without loss of audio quality.

Hit the link, listen to the streaming audio, then buy with security and confidence - and most of all - enjoy using this top-quality pack.

South Korean Pop Vol 2 - PC/Mac - ACIDized WAV/Ableton Live 8.1.3+ Pack/REX2 Loops/ Reason ReFill/MIDI - Royalty-free - £29.95/34.81 euros.

 

If, in these crazy times we are putting up with, you want to be driven completely daft but at the same time have a good laugh then this collection is for you.

I remember being genuinely gobsmacked when the first volume appeared (seems ages ago now!) and this one carries on with, well, PURE FUN.

You get five construction kits, and each kit folder gives sub-folders of drums, MIDI, one-shots and presets.

Anyway, forget about that for a moment because the definite highlight of this pack are the vox. Chops, glitches, shots - plenty - and they are hilarious.

The basslines are banging too and it's also good to see snare rolls included as they always come in handy either as intros, transitions and even endings.

You also get the likes of chords, fills, plucks, acid lines, saw leads, slap bass, synth solos, sweeps, pads - the works.

The kits all move at good old techno speed of 128pm and four come in Em and one in Fm.

You sure will have great fun with this lot and yet again is one of those packs where you cannot take my word for it...listen to it yourself on the streaming audio demo from the link below.

'LA' VOX LOOPS

LA Pop Vocals Vol 6 - Producer Loops - PC/Mac - ACIDized WAV/Apple Loops/AIFF Files - Royalty-free.
SUMMER SALE: normally £24.95 now £17.47 until August 31.

Guilty as charged, I hold my hands up to declare I always waffle on about how you simply cannot have enough top vox in your library so thanks to Producer Loops yet again for another top product in LA Pop Vocals Vol 6.

It's still amazing how over the years when 'proper vox and accas' started being mass produced instead of us having to rely on same old, same old chops, hooks and adlibs that a lot of vox producers bang out packs that are hard to decipher.
How many of us have been frustrated by having to utter 'what's he/she singing?' Loads of us, so it's good to have another 'clear as a bell' set of vox from a female singer. 

This pack also includes music BUT it's superb fun to create something completely new around vox so dig out your other Producer Loops stuff in the relevant key, add this lady's voice to your track, sit back and enjoy.

Don't get me wrong, there is NOTHING wrong whatsoever with the included music but it's so great to experiment - and of course, as I always say, construction kits per se are ideal for newcomers to the game who get to easily learn 'what goes with what'.

Coming in a variety of keys and tempo these are another 'must have' in this series and the wet versions of the vox are great at saving time slapping on flangers and the like but of course if you enjoy adding FX then do so with the 'dry'.
The music gives you chimes, synth, bells, bass, pads etc plus drums, percs and one-shots.

Yet another of Producer Loops' own-label 'must haves! Get it NOW!!

POPTASTIC 80s RETRO

80s Retro Pop Vol 1 - Producer Loops - ACIDized WAV/Apple Loops/AIFF Files/MIDI - Royalty-free.

SUMMER SALE: Normally £24.95 - now £17.47 until August 31.

BY THE CRINGE!! (shout, yell) this is yet another of those 'best of 2020' packs so far from the folk at Producer Loops.

The sounds are really first-class and will have the creative parts of your brain champing at the bit in eagerness to create an instantly loveable track AND at under EIGHTEEN quid in the summer sale, this is NOT to be missed.

The five kits each come in four parts - A, B, C and D thereby giving you the complete track or you can simply mix and match yet again to create something that bit different.

Everything is nice and tuneful too with pleasing melodies and my personal favourites just have to be the analogue basslines and arps.

These are fast-moving kits indeed and deliver:

• Em - 150bpm
• F#m - 150bpm
• Gm - 164bpm
• Fm - 155bpm
• G#m - 150bpm

Think of the possibilities - you can easily spice up the likes of your dnb, trance and techno tracks with these speeds BUT I reckon it's best not to spoil things, so go with the flow and stick to good old '80s retro'.

Get ready to play with synths, bass, pads, chords, arps, Rhodes, 'tape piano' and all the drums and percs you need.

Definitely worth a 10 out of 10 and no mistake.

Zap the link below to hear the audio demo for yourself then buy this excellent collection today.

And, I say it ad nauseum I know BUT when you see a 'Volume 1' it's great to know that Producer Loops will be bringing more 80s retro pop to the shelves.

SUPERB CINEMATIC SYNTHWAVE

Essence of Analogue Vol 2: Cinematic Synthwave - Producer Loops -  PC/Mac - ACIDized WAV/Apple Loops/AIFF Files/REX2 Loops/Reason ReFill/Ableton Live Pack 8.1.3+/MIDI - £29.95.

It's often said that one of the hardest genres to create easily is soundtrack, so thanks are due to Producer Loops for making such compositions easy.

Inspiring to say the least, these TWENTY kits give you a plethora of stunning sounds to really turn your creative juices into a flood of inspiration.

The fantastic range of keys from A#m to G#m with loads in between, offers plenty of scope too for chord changes when desired and everything moves at 85bpm.

Of course, cinemas are closed because of this Corona stuff BUT there's nothing stopping you at all from creating your own 'virtual' blockbuster with these loops. You even get a folder of one-shots plus all the complete mixes too so you can see what fits with what plus of course have a go at mixing and matching.

Producer Loops give you dry and wet arps, bass, acid synths, pads and all the drums and percs you need.
Yet again everything is tuneful too, no boring stuff allowed, and I personally love the arps.

Hit the link, enjoy the streaming audio demo, buy the pack then get to work creating yet another stunner.
