Soundware round-up
Hyper UK Garage & 2 Step £30
[Lifts velvet rope]. You’ve been granted VIP access to some real tip-top 2-steppy goodness here. With all the dope drums and melodies on offer bound for so many reloads, you’re going to frazzle the motor in your 1210’s. Also along for the ride is an abundance of awesome bass loops and hits, some real groove-flipping percussion layers, and more than a handful of danceigniting vocal phases to help you kick start your next rude and rolling UKG anthem.
The mood inside this throwback set swings from sweet as chocolate and sincere, to super scrappy and hyper funky. And everything else in this 132bpm pack is built to add that classic bump and flex to your garage-ready productions.

Plush – Organic House
£35
Swish and swanky dance gems from the top-shelf sample house. This highly cultured collection comes in at a monster 5GB, and is stocked with loops so polished you can see your face in them (and you look ten years younger).
Taking pointers from labels like L.A.’s Hoomidaas, and music found at intimate Miami club nights like Do Not Sit On The Furniture, these sounds are sleek and sumptuous.
