DJ Mag Review: Dubmatix Automatic Reggae
Producers like Robot Koch, Diplo and Switch have all borrowed heavily from dancehall, dub and reggae and combined them with modern electro sounds to come up with something fresh and slightly different.
Step forth “Automatic Reggae” by Loopmasters – the newest sample library in their artist series range from Canadian dub and reggae maestro Dubmatix.
As the name suggests, this sample pack heads up the reggae-inspired genres, from old school King Tubby dub to reggae, Dubstep, D&B and root-flavoured downtempo music. This selection of musical loops and samples has been carefully fused with modern technologies for producers not just of dub n’ reggae, but anyone wanting to get a feel of the Major Lazer-style electro sound.
Coming in at 1.4GB’s worth of samples, the pack consists of deep bass loops, drum from 60-180BPM, guitars, melodies, organs, synths, percussion and drum loops which are also broken down into single drum hits, fills, FX samples and miscellaneous sounds.
The only thing not included is the kitchen sink!
If you are looking for dub and roots samples in the classic rockers tradition ,or wanting to step out of the classic comfort zone, then Dubmatix’s ‘Automatic Reggae” sample pack is worth a look.
