HEY MAN! GET HIGH ON VIBES

 

VIBES 21 - 60's PSYCHEDELIA 2 - LOOPMASTERS 

ZIP (MAIN) £29.95

I for one am so chuffed whenever another release in Loopmasters' Vibes series materialises and this one, number 21, is 'up there' with the rest of them when it comes to quality and enjoyment.

It's also good to take a 'step back in time' to the Swinging Sixties and this pack sure delivers the goods with the 'psychedelia' sound often associated with the likes of Woodstock.

The Monterey International Pop Festival was a three-day music festival held June 16 to 18, 1967, at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in Monterey, California but of course the one most music aficionados have heard of is the Woodstock Music Festival which began on August 15, 1969 and went down in pop culture history as a symbol of the counterculture movement of the sixties. Woodstock took place during the controversial Vietnam War, when many young people wanted to spread the message of peace.

So get a genuine blast from the past into your DAW and revisit those great musical times.

As Loopmasters says:

"This collection is inspired by the groundbreaking sounds of iconic acts such as the Yardbirds, Steppenwolf, and The Beatles, as well as more contemporary psychedelic pioneers like The Chemical Brothers and Tame Impala. The sample pack’s also influenced by quirky soundtracks of spy and crime shows from that era. This diverse influence allows your music to blend across multiple genres, including rock, soul, and cinematic film scores.

"Featuring eight distinctive kits, along with a wide array of loops and one-shots, 60’s Psychedelia is anchored by iconic electric guitars, deep bass guitars, and dynamic live drums, creating the bedrock of this trippy compilation. The melodic selection extends to including enchanting sitars, resonant organs, pianets, pianos, electric keyboards, harpsichords, violins, glockenspiels, trombones, synths, horns, and even zithers. Adding rhythmic intricacy are mixed percussions like tabla, claps, claves, maracas, shakers, and tambourines, while additional effects contribute depth and dimension."

AMANDA WILSON MAGIC

 

Amanda Wilson - House & Disco Vocals - Loopmasters 

- ZIP (Main) £19.95

I will never get tired of saying it and I don't care BUT BUT BUT these days you simply cannot get enough of great vox and Loopmasters has come up trumps for the umpteenth time with this ACE collection.

A great idea is that they are actually split into folders of House vox and Disco vox but of course you can easily mix and match if you so wish as all Amanda's vox are brilliant.

The House vocals are: two in Am at 120bpm and 128bpm; one in Db major at 120bpm; one in Em at 120bpm and two in Ebm at 120bpm.

As for the Disco vox you get: one in Am at 115bpm; one in B at 115bpm; one in Bm at 120bpm; one in E at 120bpm and one in Em at 110bpm.

That's not it though because you get seven vocal stacks (hooks), all at 120bpm in Am, B, Em and Ebm plus loads of adlibs …. as always plenty to play with.

Who is Amanda Wilson? Loopmasters, as always, come up with the goods: 

It’s been a rapid rise to the top since the summer of 2005, when Amanda was discovered by international dance producers The Freemasons. She featured on the debut single for the duo, to stunning effect when ‘Love On My Mind’ became a worldwide dance hit and stormed into the Official UK Top 40 Charts at Number 11, a phenomenal result for a debut song and it went on to sell thousands worldwide. Amanda teamed up once again with The Freemasons on the follow up single ‘Watchin’, which stormed into the Official UK Top 40 Charts at Number 19, gaining Amanda’s second Top 20 hit, this track really shows Amanda’s one of a kind beautiful voice in full effect, ‘Watchin’ is yet another much loved dance and ‘Club Classic’ hit!

In 2008, she hit the Official Top 40 UK Charts, this time working with Gusto, along with The Freemasons on the remake of ʻDiscoʼs Revengeʼ and again becoming a club smash hit. In 2009, Amanda teamed up with The Outsiders and The Freemasons on the fantastic ʻKeep This Fire Burningʼ another massive club hit record, which again, had outstanding worldwide support and success. Working with many of the worldʼs top DJs and producers and gaining praise and support for her work from international superstars like David Guetta and Roger Sanchez amongst others, Amanda is much loved in the dance world.

Amanda’s sensational collaboration with one of the world’s very best DJ’s, AVICII / Tim Berg and Samuele Sartini on the Ministry Of Sound worldwide smash hit ‘Seek Bromance’ in late 2010, was a phenomenal success. Her breathtaking vocals on this was well loved and it reached a truly fantastic Number 13 in the Official UK Top 40 Charts, and Number 1 in the iTunes Dance Charts in 2011, also gaining number one spots across the world...

PSYTRANCE SENSATION

 

ASTRAL PSYTRANCE 4 - SINGOMAKERS - ZIP (Main) £29.95

Wow!! Hard to fathom this is Volume 4 already and yet again Singomakers stuff their collections with tons of loops to keep you going for ages.

Let's face it, trance and the hard-trance and psytrance offshoots of the genre will genuinely keep going for years to come and keep all of us 'fast and furious' aficionados happy and addicted to our DAWs.

As all Singomakers fans will agree, the label delivers the goods time after time and you always will get the proverbial 'bang for your buck' as this pack proves:

• 2.08 GB 24-Bit Samples
• 56 Bass Loops
• 91 Synth Loops
• 35 Drone & Pad Loops
• 65 Vocals (31 Dry & 34 Wet)
• 21 Full Drum Loops
• 61 Hi-Hat Loops
• 20 Snare Loops
• 21 Top Loops
• 43 Drum Fills & Build-Ups
• 43 Synth Fills

• 19 Snare One-Shots
• 65 SFX
• 37 Xfer Serum Presets
• 5 Sampler Patches (EXS24, Kontakt 2+, NNXT)
• 36 MIDI Files+ Promo & Discount Folder

More than enough to keep you going for yonks!

They move along smartish at 142bpm and the keys are A#, D# and E so you have plenty of scope for using 'harmonics' to create yet another stunner.

My favourites in any trance pack have to be the drums because it's always great fun to tease your listener with an intro that has, say, a 'light perc loop' then add a really super-speedy thumping drum track partnering your 'ear-bash bassline'! Luvverly stuff. This pack gives you plenty of choice.

The vox are a nice addition too. Mainly female hooks and chops with ten male vox thrown in to the mix.

All in all, another 'must have' Singomakers addition to your library and, as Loopmasters says: Don't forget that everything is 100% royalty-free - this means you can use any sample within your tracks, go on to release them on labels and use them for commercials, YouTube videos, radio, and more!

House of Love Vocals gives you four complete songs from a female vocalist who delivers them with aplomb and they can be used in, of course House, or because of their 123bpm tempo, easily slotted into pop songs. Up to you of course!

It's always great to listen to vox then visualise how you will begin to build a track around them and these are no exception to the rule - play them and get cracking!

The songs are:

• Don't Leave Me Numb - Ab
• Found You - Am
• Love - Cm
• Memories - Eb

And that’s not all – not only do these vocals bring their own unique sound, but they are also designed to pair perfectly with the loops from House of Dreams, also available on Loopmasters!
