Dubstep & Grime - DJ mag - January 2010
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Dubstep is at tipping point right now. With its influence seeping and cross-polinating into so many genres, there couldn’t be a better time for Sample Magic to unveil their ‘Dubstep & Grime’ pack. Here is a sample pack with a distinct urban flavour. The loops on offer are great for dubstep and grime productions, but can be used in any genre if you’re feeling adventurous.
The sounds are fat and typical of what you would expect from this genre. There’s a heft selection of dirty pulsating basslines that can instantly be transformed into speaker-ripping tracks – a good sign from any sample pack. And the drums and beats on offer definitely lend themselves to the harder edge of the genre.
Within such a niche genre, you might expect the sounds to be similar, but instead the pack is full of variety and usable sounds with a good spread of strong synth stabs and music loops, as well as useful FX and even affected vocal hits. The samples are available in the usual formats covering every studio need.
This is a download-only package, but is a good investment for both dubstep/grime producers and producers after something a bit different.
Rating: 4/5
