5Gb+ of Rich Disco Music

* This release is a set of musical stems, loops, one-shots and sampler sound-menus.  The drums on the audio demos are not included and come from our phenomenally successful F9 Electric Disco II Beats collection which you can experience HERE

Having personally purchased, opened and then ultimately discarded almost every disco flavoured sample pack I could find, the aim here has been high from the start - To create the finest Disco music sample pack the industry has seen so far.

If you’re here and you’ve heard the audio demos above, I’m hoping you agree - we delivered.

Written, produced and mixed over many months with one eye on the late 70s / early 80s disco and post-disco club sound, we pulled the rich musical history of disco forward to the sonic needs of the 21st century. These stems, loops and hits are designed to work with the most modern drum productions.  

Please listen to all the audio demos to hear the breadth of the music contained here. Each of the 12 main pieces has 2 musical sections which resolve harmonically as disco always did. The music is strident, powerful and rich in chordal complexity yet the pieces fall back onto the grooves perfectly.

 

18 Stem sets

12 Main themes (with 2 sections each)

6 bonus 'Disco Juice' themes

Support for Ableton, Logic, Cubase, Studio One, WAV

495 Loops

40 Sound-menu sampler instruments

Kontakt** and Halion SE sound-menu patches with every format

2200+ One-shot / mini-riff pre-chopped files

Disco is the dance floor’s classical music in that the return to the downbeat was an emotional experience.  Personally, I believe this is the reason it has weathered the decades so well. Each new generation finds its own way to represent to 4-to-the-floor power unleashed in the late 70s and the perfect musical resolutions of the themes, led by orchestral instruments carefully arranged on a thick, funk backdrop groove.

All of this is captured here and midi parts of nearly all the main instruments are available (thank you Melodyne for helping out with live parts) Dive in to see the chord voicings, the scale sweet spots for riffs and how melody and harmony come alive in Disco productions. 

Recorded carefully with a hybrid approach encompassing live instrumentation and exceptionally careful programming, processing and mixing, this set of stems (18 themes in total) is exactly what I would love to see in a classic Disco sample pack. I hope you agree.

Thank you all so much for your patience  - We’ve never received so many messages about an upcoming release - I hope we’ve done you proud.
