Bladerunner: Dread Drum & Bass

‘Bladerunner: Dread Drum & Bass’ from Dread Recordings and Loopmasters is a fresh collection of royalty-free samples from the man known as Bladerunner! With warbling, rolling, bubbling and hoover basses smashing through the speakers with tear-out breakbeats, rolling steppas, rough breaks and distorted 808’s, this is an essential pack for D&B and Jungle producers. 

In 2004, Bladerunner’s talents were spotted by Ray Keith. He was signed to Dread Recordings and remixed Jungle classics ‘Renegade Terrorist’, ‘The Chopper’ and ‘Dark Soldier’. He went on to remix other big tracks such as ‘Black’ for DJ SS on Formation Records and ‘Sound Control’ by Randall and Andy C.  

Including regular airplay on BBC Radio 1, 1 Xtra and appearances on Kiss100 and D&B Arena TV, Bladerunner has featured in Knowledge magazine and ATM with cover mixed CDs. Recent hits ‘Snake Fist’ and ‘Back To The Jungle’ also topped the BBC Radio 1 Drum & Bass charts.

This powerful collection of copyright-free Drum & Bass samples comes in at an impressive 612 MB and includes 347 24-Bit samples, with 164 Loops at 175 BPM, and 183 One-Shot Samples. There are 104 ready-to-play patches included for Reason NN-XT, Halion, EXS, SFZ and Kontakt compatible soft samplers. Apple Loops, Reason ReFill and Ableton Live Suite versions are also available to purchase separately.

In detail, expect to find 50 Searing Basslines, 51 Powerful Drum Loops, 42 Atmosphere-Drenched Music Loops, 21 Edited Break Fill Loops, 70 Chest-Pounding Bass Hits, 27 Music Hits, 61 Hard-Hitting Drum Shots, 25 SFX and 167 REX2 Files.

Including musical experimentations with pianos, strings, sax and orchestral elements, this is a massive collection of sounds for D&B, Jungle and Dubstep producers worldwide.
