Soundware round-up

Vadim

Tropical Dancehall £34.95

DJ Vadim has been catching the sound, and the dub, for many a year, and knows his heavyweight onions when he peels them. So, it’s always a treat to see him in sample pack form, lifting the lid on the music he loves troubling speaker cones with.

The 1.21GB of bits and pieces here are sunshine incarnate, too. From the foundation stones of sound system culture, through reggaeton and jungle manoeuvres, Daddy Vad offers up a heaping plate of drums, bass, and more for you to get your teeth into.

It’s kicks, licks, loops, riffs and riddims galore, and comes off like a very cheery postcard from the Notting Hill Carnival, signed by the Russian Percussionist himself. Salute! loopmasters.com
