    “I chose Soul Grooves for the variety of live sounds and their jazzy nature. Adonis is a total pro with decades of experience producing music for television and his loops always inspire me. It’s like we are collaborating in a sense and I just want to add more parts to his ideas.” – Jason

    Soul Grooves. Soul Grooves is the follow-up to our popular Soul Vocals and the second Soundtrack Loops set from NYC-based film and TV composer Adonis Tsilimparis (credits include CSI: NY, NCIS, Dementia 13, Blood Bound, reality TV shows, and countless commercial ads…). The Soul Grooves formula is all about combining soft jazz moods and feels with classic, familiar pop structures and sentiments. 101 loops sort into clean electric and acoustic piano parts, steel and nylon string guitar loops (the excellent nylon string loops are a real Soul Grooves highlight), lots of hand-played bass parts with that clean and classic P Bass tone, and assorted synth bits tucked in the midst of all this great organic instrumentation. Six construction kits start at 85 BPM add five BPM per kit up to 110 BPM at 48kHz 24bit Stereo. Following this rising curve, the themes expand carefully and creatively, bringing more shimmer as the tempos rise. Every kit has a relaxed feel that blends vintage mellow soul jazz feels with familiar pop ballad structures and forms; the sonics throughout are basically flat with full dynamics, and rendered on a spacious soundstage. Soul Grooves loops are poised to float over a wide cross-section of your downtempo and pop category beats, and take on additional production moves as they settle into your mixes.

    “I chose Chill Hop loops because I absolutely love the sound of LoFi Hip Hop. There are so many cool loops with distinct production technics baked into each one that allows me to spend less time sound designing when I really just want to dive in and start writing a song. I like to chop these loops up in my sampler and make new melodies and grooves.” – Jason

    Chill Hop Loops, One-shots & MIDI Chill Hop Essentials is a specialized collection of downtempo loops and samples with a distinctly natural and organic flavor. The folder structure is cleanly divided among bass, drum and melodic elements presented in the benchmark 70-100 BPM range. Aside from the synth-generated bass loops, the main emphasis here is placed almost entirely on mildly processed acoustic drum and percussion samples along with acoustic keys and strings, and interestingly, an assortment of mixed loops with a far-eastern flavor that can add a subtle and tasteful shot of exotica to your downtempo vibe. For an ideal example of how music like this can work for you, check out the track ‘Zavtra’ by Ukrainian artist Onuka. This downtempo mini-masterpiece coincidentally features elements that actually reflect the whole ethos of —the downtempo feel, the blend of natural and synthetic sounds, the inclusion of tasteful field recorded music and sound, and smart, light-handed processing and editing that expertly leverages electronic music concepts while never losing sight of the all-important human touch. Over the course of 70 loops, 39 one shots and 31 MIDI files, takes you on a unique musical journey that can lead to interesting places and spaces in the world of modern music.

    “I chose Future Soul Keys for the amazing melodies and chord progressions. Marcus is just an amazingly creative keyboard player and composer. He provided MIDI files with this pack so I can swap out the sounds with my own choice of plug-ins if necessary which is an added bonus.” – Jason

    3) Future Soul Keys Loops & MIDI Future Soul Keys is a piano and synth parts workshop for making future soul, downtempo pop tunes, soft soundtracks, film music, and understated tracks that radiate taste and simplicity.

Imagine simple soul jazz moments with straight-ahead chord progressions, played with a distinctive touch that nods in the direction of Ryuichi Sakamoto—like we said, it’s about taste. What sets this collection apart is its blend of styles; pop, jazz and classical elements come together seamlessly (sometimes all reflected in a single loop!), which of course makes this one of those titles that’s great for eclectic producers who work in multiple genres. Build music from scratch with the 25 theme packs, and go deep with a full set of included MIDI files for every one.
