Drum Samples: Andrew Lloyd 'Vol II' Drum Kit: theproducerschoice.com

Shout out to theproducerschoice.com, who have recently released the second volume of drums courtesy of Grammy-nominee Andrew Lloyd.

Andrew Lloyd 'Vol II' hip hop and rnb Drum Kit

Lloyd has worked his magic on tracks for Young Jeezy, L'il Wayne, Schoolboy Q, Tech Nine, T-Pain and Omarion amongst others.

Whilst this pack is arguably more tailored towards the shinier end of the hip hop and rnb spectrum (read: 'club bangers') it has other uses too. I am currently having fun crafting a more boom-bap style cut with a couple of the kit's kicks and snares, as well as a UK house and garage cut which makes use of a different kick and a nice handclap from it. If you're looking to buy some new drums, this kit is well worth checking out.

The Theory For Our Revenge 'OBORO'

REVIEW: Japanese multimedia art duo make a great first impression with their mix of industrial, trap and operatic pop The following is a paid for review and post, via humanhuman (see below). It is always an honour and a pleasure to receive new music to check out and review; especially when it's as enjoyable a listening experience as this first offering from The Theory For Our Revenge is. The Theory For Our Revenge are COLD FAITH and Jhas; a Japanese music production, fashion stylist and visual art duo The Theory For Our Revenge are COLD FAITH and Jhas; a Japanese music production, fashion stylist and visual art duo. Their debut single ,'OBORO', is a slice of experimental electro-trap / operatic-art-pop. Starting with an industrial sounding chugging and churning, the track moves into frosty, haunting melodies. It's in these opening bars that the only potential hiccup occurs. Around the 0:38 and 1:12 marks there's a jagged synth whistle which i

Georgel ‘Colibrí’

REVIEW: 'Colibrí' highlights Georgel’s potential as a superstar in the making It is always an honour and a pleasure to receive new music to check out and review; especially when it's as enjoyable a listening experience as Georgel’s ‘Colibri’. A slice of swaggering, sensual, big band pop, ‘Colibri’ is a superb offering from the singer songwriter. ‘Colibrí’ immediately demands listener attention thanks to punchy horn stabs, satisfying drum fills and Georgel’s strong vocals.

The hook is slinky and sensual, adding an extra layer to an already super-enjoyable cut.
