Sample Tools by Cr2

Slap House £15.99

All hail slap house – the newish EDM sub-genre that got its fair shine this summer. Popularised by the likes of Brazilian producer, Alok, and characterised by its lively lead basslines and high energy levels, it’s a fun style to ape. And this set of song-starting samples should give you enough beats and pieces to have a fair stab yourself.

The bundled drum loops anchor the groove, here, as the bass and synth riffs get their weave on. Add to that some great FX elements, and you’ve got yourself a stew. sampletoolsbycr2.com
