Nu-Rave reviewed:
MusicTech, July 2008
"According to the box, what you're in for here is 'electro-house, disco-punk and sleazy new wave mash-ups', and the acid house smiley beaming from the front cover confirms that this is a sample collection for those who like their synths dirty and their beats glitchy.
Far harder in tone than the tedious New Order-emulating disco rock currently clogging up the charts, this is a soundset for people who want to be played in impossibly trendy clubs or on Radio 1 at three in the morning, when the programming is searingly electronic.
Supplied on a 2.3GB DVD, the collection comprises 796 24-bit WAVs, 476 REX files compatible with Stylus RMX, 476 Apple Loops and various EXS24, NN-XT, Kontakt 2 and HALion patches. The files are grouped by type and tempo and there's an audio CD included for auditioning the sounds and for sampling them yourself using a hardware sampler or groovebox.
Stylistically the emphasis is on fat, wobbly basses, stabs and sequences, bit-crushed drums, circuit-bent vocals, robot voices and some individual hits for building your own kits. The range of tempo is limited to 120, 125 or 130BPM, but at least this means that matching and layering loops doesn't require time stretching.
Sonically, recording quality is excellent – warm but scary, and with copious amounts of pitch bending applied to the synths and basses. Start layering loops and pretty soon you can almost feel yourself wanting to pay way over the odds to get into a ridiculously exclusive underground club where the DJ spins this sort of stuff all night and a drink sets you back a week's wages...
Verdict: Sleazy does it... A good selection of squelchy, crisp and biting samples for the more discerning electro producer." |
