Yep, another one, I gotta keep em coming cuz we all like new sounds right?

This one is for those that like to travel on the more laid back side of the drum beat, jazzy, chill, downtempo, ambient, smokey, lounge…whatever you wanna call it.

Let’s get into this smooth sample collection.

Is there really magic in those samples?

I took notice of SampleMagic via twitter, and their sample distribution site soundstosample.  One of my favorite types of music to make is chilled-out, smoke filled, lounge room sweetness.  When I saw their sunrise/sunset sessions series, I had to get my paws on it.

The last dope chill/downtempo cd I bought was “smoker’s delight” from equipped music, that was back in 03/04!! And yes I still use it.

So I was excited to see another sample collection with a similar direction. Even more excited when they decided to send it over for review.

What’s in the collection?

This is like a “sequel” so to speak, of their very popular “sunset sessions”, I figured I’d do a review on the newest one first, but I love things in sets so I had to get the first one and I’ll review that one at a later date

Hazy hooks, lo-fi loops and sultry sunrise sounds. The sequel to our best-selling chillout release Sunset Sessions, featuring 950+MB of: Dusty beats, lo-fi grooves and vinyl-infused breaks and fills; cinematic Rhodes, sultry-smooth piano and lazy Wurlitzer licks; sparkling guitars, driving live bass, rustic violins, shady sax and jazzy trumpet; spurious synths, re-wired percussion and misty background elecphonica; ready-mixed melodies, soundbeds and orchestral one-shots; drum one-shot library and more….

Yeah man, but what does it sound like?

FREAKIN INSANE!!!

No joke, as soon as I popped this joint open, I was inspired. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is usable… even the drumloops, and I pretty much stay away from drumloops like the plauge. But I’d definitely use these.

The keys are smooth and silky, the bass is low and round, the guitars hit just the right spot.

Heck man, there are some dang violins in this joint and they are amazing too lol.

Sax and trumpets are here also, as well as individual drum hits, piano loops, and original music loops.

All well produced, all inspiring, all ready to go in your next laid back pot of musical gumbo.

The variety is amazing and they even include kontakt instruments for some of the sounds, so you can just load and go…I’m really starting to appreciate companies that do this more and more each day.

Bottom line man? Are these dope or what?

Uhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah man! These joints are crazy insane. Now, like I said, I LOVE downtempo style samples, but all are not created equal and some just plain suck! That’s why I’ve been using one particular collection for almost 6 years!

But uhhhh, these are crazy man and I can’t wait to checkout more from them.

They get 5 out of 5 subs for this release, and I would even throw in a head unit as well as a 1200w rockford fosgate amp and maybe even an infinity component system!

They blew me away with this and it took longer to do this review than normal for the simple fact that I kept getting inspired to just play with the dang samples!

just go over to samplemagic or soundstosample and check it out.

Oh yeah and because they are soooooooooo awesome, they have a page full of free teaser samples. So you can step your game up with a nice buffet of sound goodness. http://www.soundstosample.com/freeSamples
