One of the company’s best-selling collections these loops do not sound like MIDI, and range from classic 75-90 bpm rap grooves courtesy of the godfather of East Bay hip hop Al Eaton to 160 bpm speedfreak drum ‘n’ bass loops from T.E.T.
These are dance beats; challenging ones with plenty of fire and excitement built in.

They Say
“How good are the patterns? Darn good. I have fooled many listeners into thinking I'd lifted a breakbeat straight from an old LP by using a combination of popping vinyl noise from E-Mu's Planet Phatt module and a T Bits Drum Pattern" Keyboard Magazine.
"The jungle patterns are fabulous, down to the snare rolls, the pitch fills are excellent. I doubt many people have heard a GM snare sing like this" Keyboard Magazine
"This is another must buy for anyone into MIDI & Dance music" Music Mart
