The pack features over 300 Loops and 77 One Hits, laden with Afro-Centric rhythms, layered in Dub wizardry, wrapped in Twisted Jazz with a futurist edge. A host of studio-quality sounds awaits you - Drums include live Acoustic kits, Congas, Djembes, Recycled goods and various Percussion instruments – giving you texture, depth and insane rhythmic individuality.

Hear the classic Red Snapper low-end sound with Double and electric Bass, featuring a mixture of fingered, picked, thumbed, bowed and slap playing styles - generating the hard, driving groove pioneered by instrumental Hip Hop. Add an impressive mix of classic Guitars, analogue Synths, Xylophones and more – and you can be sure that this collection of dark Funk will provide the perfect balance of organic and electronic elements you need to build something incredible.

Red Snapper take you on a journey from 62 to 150BPM, with elements as wide-ranging as Hip Hop, Electronica, Dub, Pyscadelic Surf, Grime, Afro-Jazz, Breakbeat and more.

A word from Red Snapper: “This has been a great experience for us and opportunity to experiment, create unique beats, loops and soundscapes that provide producers with useful tools and an insight into how we work in the studio. The process has been a combination of bouncing ideas off each other and jamming in the studio - often it’s our individual misinterpretation of each other’s parts that creates our unique sound.”

The gear list features a Korg Wavedrum, ER 1, Monotron, Volca Beats and Monologue, Teenage Engineering PO 14, Roland SH101, and Moog Taurus. A 1970's Fender Jazz Bass, 1960's Fender Precision Bass, Bergerault Xylophone, Gold Top Gibson Les Paul, Rosewood Neck Telecaster, 1953 Magnatone Lap Steel and a Brazilian Rosewood classical guitar by Luthier Anthony Murray from 1977.
