Wusik Magazine Review: Fidget House Vol. 1 & Vol. 2
The spread of Fidget House from the UK to the rest of the world is like a wildfire. As the sub-genre suggest, Fidget focuses on the innovative and wild side of house. It incorporates a lot of cool sound design, funked-up wobbly bass lines, glitchd-out drums, processed vocal snippets and warped synths.
For Fidget House Vol. 1 and 2, Loopmasters commissioned all the sounds from renowned producer Darren Payton. Volume 1 features 595 WAV samples (370MB) and volume 2 weighs in even bigger at 625 MB with 950 samples. From a production perspective Darren Payton's work is sonically excellent and the samples themselves are impressively useful - even for breakbeat, electro, tech house. The fifty-five slick and glitchy drumloops from the first volume captured my attention while 122 broken-band glitch loops and the 28 twisted and broken vocal FX are my volume 2 favorites. All in all, Fidget House 1 & 2 are very techy and sophisticated sample packs. A great buy!
