Aquarius Earth v1.0.0 EXPANSiON

SYNTHiC4TE | Dec 18 2018 | 1.12 GB

Aquarius Earth, a new Expansions series pack that captures the sound of the late-90s soul movement. The pack includes 57 Battery kits and 50 Maschine kits featuring live bass, synth, and drum samples, captured using classic outboard gear, with modern production polish. Aquarius Earth captures the sound of the late ‘90s and early 2000s, when artists like the Soulquarians and Lauryn Hill began to condense the cumulative energies of funk, hip-hop, jazz, and soul into a distinctive new sound. Modern production and sampling techniques met vintage analog warmth to create a musical movement as predicated on heavy beats as it was drenched in soul. Aquarius Earth takes up the palette of earthy tones, funk groove, hip-hop percussion and infectious melody that brought the soul back to the ‘90s and beyond. Aquarius Earth contains original recordings of kits, bass, and vintage synths, using classic outboard studio gear as well as vintage console emulations – available as one shots, loops, and samples to use in any DAW, as well as in Maschine as Sample Instruments. Extensive Battery and Maschine kits are perfect for building up the movement’s popping rhythms, melodic patterns, or for developing and experimenting with smooth vocal cuts. Presets for Monark inspired by analog synths let producers tweak the era’s vintage sound toward their own production style.

BATTERY / MASCHiNE / MASSiVE / MONARK / SAMPLES

Disctrict Xeo, a futuristic dystopian electro collection of sounds by the Berlin-based sound design and production studio IRRUPT. Traffic weaves from above. Skyscrapers clad with neon-lit signs fill the horizon. The music emerging from the city is cold and robotic, yet emotive – reflecting its futuristic urban gloom. Mechanical rhythms snap at whiplashing speeds, basslines squelch with funk, and mournful chords drape over pulsing arpeggiated synths. DISTRICT XEO recalls the classic electro-thrills of Drexciya, Aux 88, and Dopplereffekt, to the resurging electro labels of today like Central Processing Unit – reaching into cutting-edge genres like grime, trap, footwork, and beyond. The future isn’t pretty, but it sounds good.

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

Amid the rust, rot, and decay of post-industrial cities emerges a new strain of techno – turbulent, and untamed. Shaking the walls of warehouses across the UK, its inspiration can be found in the clang of 70s post-punk and industrial, as well as in the tougher elements of rave and hardcore culture. Uncompromising to the end, CARBON DECAY fuses broken, primitive rhythms with meticulous sound design – an aesthetic pioneered by artists such as Blawan, Surgeon, Karenn, and the British Murder Boys. CRAFTED CHAOS CARBON DECAY bursts with pummelling kicks, shattered hi hats, and barbed rhythmic sounds – packed into kits for BATTERY and MASCHINE. Expertly designed synth presets for MASSIVE and MONARK give you analog-style basses, alien stabs, and shifting, organic textures for creating primal techno grooves. Loops created using some of the most revered analog synths and drum machines were pressed to vinyl as locked grooves and carefully sampled for a deeply authentic sound.
