The Shigeto Sample Pack features a collection of drums, percussion, Rhodes, breaks, micro kalimba sounds and more.
There’s a Japanese concept called wabi-sabi. Imagine a beautiful vase that’s been aged by sunlight, maybe a slight crack or two in the marble. Compared to something new, there’s a beauty in this imperfection. A different feeling arises, maybe a twinge of nostalgia and loss. Japanese-American electronica-via-jazz artist Shigeto, alias of Michigan native Zach Saginaw, embodies the spirit of wabi-sabi seamlessly in his work. Electronic music offers rigidity, perfection, quantization. Yet somewhere within the coffers of Ableton grids and MIDI-syncing, Shigeto embraces the imperfect. Drum grooves swing in unpredictable rhythms. The sharp twang of a rusted kalimba note, the out of tune fuzz of an analog synth, room noise and ambient sounds slip their way into his tracks. He weaves the gorgeous with the inharmonious, 4/4 dance with the swing of jazz, digital sounds with live instrumentations. Find them all in his new sample pack.
Following his detour into fractured, kaleidoscopic hip-hop with Fudge, Prefuse 73 has become progressively interested in injecting a sense of space into his characteristically complex productions. Cinematic textures and expertly crafted rhythms coalesce and return in the legendary Prefuse 73’s second sample pack.
Prefuse 73 returns with Broken Hard Drive Dives Pt 2, a new batch of 360 loops and samples.
