Funky House is everywhere these days and plays a massive part in the IBIZA scene aswell as all the major clubs in the world. So with its popularity comes new producers trying to break through and present their own stlye. One of the first things a good producer is going to need is a hot Library of Funky House samples and loops and this is where Loopmasters 'Funky House ' sample cd comes straight into action.

On first exploring the cd i came across the usual and simple layout we have come to expect from Loopmasters sample cd's. The main folders you will find are , bass, drumloops, guitar, drum toolz, chords and pads, effects, hits, rhodes and piano, music loops and phrases. There are also a couple of demos on this cd so you can instantly hit play on these and and get full on idea just how versatile these samples can be when layered together.

Starting with the bass folder i came across 'live bass' and synth bass. You'll find here some well recorded seperate bass notes and also lots of nice little funky bass licks. Sound quality being excellent with excellent fadeouts on the seperate note samples. The synth bass folder was also full with very usable and sometimes strange and original loops and licks all based around 120 to 130bpm. Moving on to the drum loops folder i was pleased to find a large selection of loops. the best thing about these loops was the way they had all been broken down to different elements. You could basically just grab the percussion from a loop if you didnt like the kick and so on. This is always good to see and more importantly makes everything even more usuable. The effects folder was full of totally usuable noises and freaky sounds and the quality of sound again is superb. The same goes for the hits folder which has plenty of stabs for you to pick from ranging from chord stabs to brass , orchestral hits and many more.... In the drum toolz folder youll find a great selection of single hit drum kits. Snares , kicks, hats, claps etc etc and all high quality. The guitars folder is possibly where most producers will find inspiration for a new tune. Theres some really cool licks in there that spark off new ideas instantly upon hearing them. Recorded with atmosphere and feel and also just the right amount of reverb to wet your appetite. The rhodes and piano's section has a choice of multi samples and chords. Just like the chords and phrases section they are brilliantly recorded and will always hold a place in your library for that kind of sound. All in all im totally impressed with this sample CD.

SUMMARY
Once again Loopmasters deliver another excellent product. Everything you could need for Funky House at very high quality. Even beginners will have instant success by simply dropping these loops and sample into a program like acid. They will be amazed by the sound quality and that goes for Pro's too.

This is a product that is pretty faultless in its genre and yet agin at the price its a total bargain

!!Highly recommended!! Our rating 9.5/10
