Trafik: Progressive House And Electronica - Review in Wusic Sound Magazine
Trafik, the hot electronica duo consisting of Andrew Archer and John Elliott, are experts when it comes to creating banging beats and electronic club anthems. Just listen to their remixes under the Global Underground label for a spin and you’ll know what I mean. Every project they put their hands on just sizzles and that’s why they were asked for their services by Loopmasters “Artist Series” second title. The result is “Trafik: Progressive House And Electronica”.
The “Progressive House And Electronica” is an all-rounder sampled material but mostly covers the basic sounds needed for producing house. On offer here are drums, bass and musical loops. All instrument loops are divided into folder groups of 120, 125, 130 and 135 bpm. You’ll also get a healthy dose of one-shot drum samples, some good progressive FX’s, pads, leads and various hits & stabs. Like the Aquasky review (read here), I auditioned the samples by using Sony’s Acid Pro software (a DAW/looping sequencer). Those of you, who are in search of a good set of quality drum hit samples are in it for a treat. These are some of the most gorgeous samples I’ve heard in a while. If you are looking for a more specific term from me, I guess the drum samples can only be described as “punchy”. The folder called “Musical” loops doesn’t have a lot of material but it should be enough to inspire every producer to create a track.
Overall this library is great and reasonably priced. It also gets my additional love for supporting various sampler formats.
