Download Here: 12 Bit Soul Vol. 6

It’s time to take it back to meaner kicks, louder snares, and just tougher breaks entirely. Divided Souls Entertainment culls the crates to find the hardest, grimiest sounds offered up in this sixth installment in the 12 Bit Soul series, focusing solely on 70’s-style Rock breaks and unashamedly loud drums. With minimal processing and the essence of the MPC and SP1200 injected for just the right seasoning, the listener hears the vision that originally spawned this sound kit and its overall focus from the first hit to the last.

Divided Souls Entertainment also provides the kick and snare used in the politically incendiary record for Chuck D’s “Tear Down That Wall.” The Public Enemy frontman openly attacks the offensive racial profiling in the U.S. with nimble, yet purposeful, scratches provided by DJ Pain 1. The drums pack a crunchiness courtesy of the production duo and their acute attention to detail. Edginess is emblematic of this scathing song featuring drums that equally meet the challenge. This is just one example of what producers can craft with these selections found in 12 Bit Soul Volume 6.

This kit includes:

• 47 kicks
• 41 snares
• 33 percussion (hi hats, crashes, and toms)
• 22 drum rolls/fills

Download Here: Illmind – The Red Crayon Killer Samples Vol. II

“Being an 80s baby, I remember growing up seeing movies from the 70s and 80s. A lot of them were Sci-Fi and Horror flicks. Aside from the movies usually being pretty bizarre, I was always attracted to the types of music and textures that were used. Even today, I’m usually attracted to the ‘soundtrack’ sections in vinyl shops, interested in finding those textures. From doing that over the course of many years, I’ve noticed a consistent use in a small handful of vintage keyboards/synths during that era. These synthesizers are some of my favorite, most legendary ever created. I’m talking about the Prophet 8, Arp Odyssey, Emu Proteus 2000 & the ever popular Mini Moog. Utilizing these actual synthesizers, I’ve created a set of 20 COMPLETELY ORIGINAL compositions, all played and composed by me. I’m so thrilled to present this creative collection to the few hundred of you that will ultimately get your hands on it. I want you to treat these like samples lifted straight from 70s Sci-Fi/Horror Soundtrack records. The only difference is, all of the audio stems are included!” – !llmind

Download Here: Divided Souls – Southern Fried Vol. 2

Divided Souls Productions delivers the second installment in their Southern Friedseries. Building on the foundation of the inaugural offering, the production crew delivers a robust sound kit that speaks to beatsmiths banging on the pads of their trusty MPC, producers looking for live elements to build tracks around, or composers searching for that something “extra” to set off their arrangement. Divided Souls Productions navigates the worlds of classic hardware like the SP1200, various Akai series samplers, ASR-10s, etc., the wide array of software programs, and the rigors of arranging live music for television shows. Southern Fried 2 offers various instruments played in different keys and/or chords, allowing the producer the opportunity to have more control over their new composition with a wider array of options at their disposal.

As one can see by the carefully constructed artwork, the Southern Fried series represents more than simply sampling sounds from the classic Roland 808. It’s an aesthetic that harkens back to classic Southern music: Soul, Rock, and Hip Hop. It’s hard-hitting kicks and snares, guitars oozing feeling, and keys that strike that special chord within all of us. Divided Souls Productions understands the rich heritage of music culture below the Mason-Dixon line, and Southern Fried 2 appeals to those individuals starving for some home-cooked goodness.

This kit includes:

• Guitars (riffs & loops) – 210
• Keys (pianos, synths, organs, & electric pianos) – 185
• Horns – 8
• Strings – 5
• Basses – 26
• Kicks – 25
• Snares – 21
• Drum Rolls – 11
• Miscellaneous (percussion, stabs, & percussion loops) – 27

*This sound kit is well paired with Soul Trap from Divided Souls Productions.
