All loops have processed with a host of outboard kit to ensure a richness, warmth and punch that will max out any contemporary club system.

- 20 bangin’ and jackin’ drum machine rhythms created on classic sequencers from Roland, Korg and Boss.
- Vintage Textures & FX – lost-in-a-field FX, drug-induced ambiences, vast pads, reverbed hits, lasers, modulations and more.
