Black Octopus is proud to present Shook Synth Funk! It’s not every day you can get your hands on a sample pack created by one of the world's greats, and with Shook’s debut sample pack Synth Funk, you get everything he is known for, and more! 

Shook is an independent producer, composer, and musician based in the Netherlands. After graduating from the University of the Arts in Rotterdam, he released his first electronic solo work. In his own words, his work is inspired by "timeless forces such as love, change, and art, originating from the '70s and early '80s synth-pop, disco, funk, anime, and futuristic soundtracks”. But at this point, I think it’s best to hand it over to the man himself. Welcome to his world! 

“I am Jasper, and I make music under my musical project Shook. The music inside the universe of Shook knows so many styles, ranging from my early electronic funk to sci-fi-inspired synthesiser soundtracks and ambient work...

With this library, you have access to a wide variety of funky synthesisers closely related to my early electronic funk work and remix work I did for artists like Jamiroquai, Kimbra, Phoenix, Ellie Goulding, and many others. 

Also, I am sharing a lot of my personal samples that I have collected over the years. You now have exclusive access to an important part of “The Shook Archive”!

This sample library includes all kinds of drum sounds. Like clap one-shots, kicks, analogue kicks, acoustic snares, and synth snares. Also, it withholds an impressive musical collection of bass loops, synth loops, ambient patches, chords, and much more.

All these sounds are made in my studio with my collection of analogue synthesisers, my acoustic drum set, and various analogue effects. 

I used some of my favourite synthesisers like my Roland Juno 60, Yamaha DX7, Sequential Prophet X, and the Minimoog Model D by Moog.

I hope to inspire you with these sounds, and that you will use these as starting blocks to create your music.”

There you have it, Shook Synth Funk! Grab this pack today and get some of that funk into your new song!
