It's always a boost to your creative side when Producer Loops kicks off a new series of their own-label loops so it's a definite 'open arms welcome' for this new clutch of kits.

I always say it, and I'll never ever tire of saying it, but it is so good to see more top vox being produced and this pack will serve you very well.

But never forget, Producer Loops also add the music if you want to use those elements as well so you literally have everything under one roof.

Of course, you can easily use the vox themselves in tracks you create using other musical genres and that's what makes PL special - they cater for everyone. And all the vox can be timestretched up or down without losng their ace audio quality and you get main vox, harmonies, adlibs etc.

Anyway, whaddya get? Loads. Everything moves along at 130bpm and the songs are: 

• All I Want - Dm
• Plastic - Fm
• Falling - D#m
• Adventure - Bm
• I Need You - Gm

An added bonus to the vox is that each kit comes with the lyrics text doc as well.

As for the music, bang on as always with the likes of keys (including Rhodes), bass, synth plucks, chord pads - even 'vinyl crackle' - to name but a few.
Plus you get all the drums, percs and FX you need and the full mixes.

Here's a track I did using the All I Want vox, renamed it All I Want Is You, and built the music around it using stuff from my PL collection - remember ALL PL sounds last for YEARS!!!

All I Want Is You

IT'S TRUE - BRIGHTON ROCKS!!!

The Stick Up Boys off-kilter approach to electronic pop music is orchestrated by an anonymous collective from Brighton, UK. 

Borrowing influences from modern EDM and electronica as well as the most notorious of the 80s pop scene, the Stick Up Boys have been heralded as the “new sound of urban pop music”. 

Their unique and fresh sound is generated from their much-beloved analogue synths, their extensive experience in a wide range of musical styles, as well as their collective talents as writers, performers, producers, vocalists
and multi-instrumentalists.

They have made a name for themselves producing construction kits and their first sample CD Stick Up Boys Volume I held the No 1 spot in the Producer Loops indie chart for several months and have now released 4 more sets of Construction Kits to critical acclaim and have many more on the way.

Fresh on the heels of an advertising campaign for food retailer “Itsu” with the songs “Bling” and “Put another record on” featuring Koo, their song “Trouble” was used in the independent UK horror film “POV”. 

A collaboration with French conceptual artist Francois Vautier produced a video for the song “DNA” which attracted worldwide interest.

The Stick Up Boys released their first single “Getaway” with Quark Records in the USA, and a second single “Party in the backyard” released in summer 2015.

They have released a four-song EP release with Respect Records based in Hamburg, Germany and have had a top charting dance songs with DJ Jerome Clarke “Yuna records” and international artists Luxe. 

They then released a 5-track EP with Quark records in the US in October 2018.
Since then the boys have set up their own label “Stick Up Music” releasing BTT in May 2020 which was picked up by Spotify to be featured on their playlists. They have also recently become proud members of the Electronic Music Alliance and have been happily doing collabs with many of their members.

The Stick Up Boys  work with a number of Sync Licensing companies providing a wide variety of different genres. 

They work with many companies both exclusively and non-exclusively including Lemoncake, Synctracks in London, Rinse the Sync, Lift Music in Brighton as well as many other companies providing music for TV and films.

The Boys pop up in lots of different places in time and space and have worked and been ghost writers for many global artists. For contractual reasons they remain, as ever, anonymous in all forms. 

If you have any more information please call a policeman.
