Touch Loops has released a new collection of loops and one shots which draws from the iconic, rhythmic dense sound pioneered by DJ Spinn and DJ Rashad, reimagined for modern systems and forward-leaning producers.
The royalty free Chicago Footwork aims to capture footwork at its most nostalgic.
Distorted 808 bass tones are saturated, aggressive and percussive, hitting with immediacy rather than weight alone, while tonal elements and vocal chops lean into repetition, tension and rhythmic hypnosis. Produced by Touch Loops royalty Skygaze, he’s gone deep on processing his own vocals in that iconic style.
Alongside the classic Chicago blueprint, Chicago Footwork channels the evolution of the sound through a new generation of US artists pushing footwork into experimental, club and art-driven spaces. Influences from Jana Rush, Jlin, DJ Manny and Kush Jones can be felt in the darker harmonic offering, more abstract textures and contemporary sound design throughout the pack.
The sample pack is available to purchase for £26 GBP.
