Future Music Review: Octane & DLR

 

Just when you thought DnB had got as formulaic as it possibly could along comes Drum and Bass Rollers to give the bulging D'n'B sample library business a proper kick up the arse.

 

Funky, unusual, well organised and supremely useful, every one of the sounds and hits are here will slot into and enliven any in-progress hard stepping D'n'b tune. The accent is on pacey excitement rather than ear-burning nastiness or Jazz-fused funkiness with a natural, organic sound throughout. Packing 129 loops and 157 one shots and 28 sampler instruments there's more than enough inspiration here to get you busy. Recommended.

 

Verdict: 8/10
