ABSTRACT HIPHOP -DISC 1
(800+ Loops & Samples)

This disc could possibly be the best e-LAB TC disc ever made! Filled with deep, groovy, dubby, smooth and jazzy moods and grooves. We are sure no HipHop or TripHop producer can say no, to 73 minutes of jampacked turntable phunk. Especially since the producer, Caspar and his jazzy and dope turntable posse, gave you ALL their heart, skill and soul -absolutely nothing was left out in search for complete perfection. We are convinced that this package will definitely make you truly inspired!!

*THE AUDIO CD: 99 track indexes of Drum Loops & Drum Samples. Bpm range from 90-100 bpm. Click here for Audio CD content

REVIEW QUOTES: If you've ever seen Shaft's Big Score and you remember the scene at Mother Ike's nightclub, then you have a good idea of what this sample CD is like. Whether you want to get your groove on or just get it on, this collection of smooth, saucy samples and luscious loops is it. Each disc in the Abstract Hip Hop package is loaded with an incredible selection of top-notch material. The inspiration kits sound like choice passages from a finished album, and the grooves are so good that you have to wonder why YMC didn't just make their own record from this stuff instead of sharing it with the world on a sample CD. Groove Armada and DJ Krush could only dream of concocting beats this fresh. The instrumental sounds featured on the discs consist largely of acoustic drum kits, electric pianos, jazzy guitars, electric bass, horns, and strings-think early-'70s funk and soul with a modern rhythmic feel. It's an intoxicating concoction that will keep your head spinning for many months to come." -Rating 5 out of 5! REMIX (US)

"Apparently, e-Lab have supplied a serious number of samples for Reason, and this is reflected in the quality of this release. It's an all-encompassing hip-hop affair that kicks off with a selection of slick construction kits. The drum loops are the real stars, as they really veer off the mainstream path at times. There are even a few latin style loops to enjoy, and the production is excellent. In the midst of these are music loops, vocals and FX, jazzy basses and single drum hits. Consider the fact that the .wav CD features an extra 250Mb of content and you've got a winner" -9 Stars out of 10 -Computer Music (UK)

"The front cover of this elegantly packaged and presented two-CD set promises "deep vibey turntable phunk", which actually is as good a way as any to describe a gloriously laid-back collection of slow-burning loops and grooves. The retro vibe is kept alive with obvious vinyl trickery, such as interesting lo-fi granulisation and scratchy record effects, but the producer's lovingly crafted sound gives a warmth and depth that makes many other sample CDs (and particularly some sound modules) seem clinical and soulless. Pushing the envelope at almost every turn, Abstract HipHop offers the familiar alongside the experimental in a neat and highly polished musical package. All in all, Abstract HipHop deserves to be a firm favourite with those who like their beats laid back, funky and lovingly constructed" -Sound On Sound (UK)

"Abstract Hip Hop provides plenty of scope. High quality all round!" - Future Music (UK)

"I can recommend Abstract Hip Hop on the strength of its drum loops alone; most grooves are superb and sit in a delicious pocket. Add a bevy of sound effects, music loops, and individual drum and percussion hits-all presented in formats to fit anyone's working style-and Abstract Hip Hop is an excellent purchase." -Electronic Musichian (US)

"If you're looking for soulful grooves with a modern, slightly electric edge, Abstract Hip Hop should be at the top of your shopping list." -Keyboard Magazine (US)
