We set out to make the most authentic mid 80s Electro Funk sample collection currently available. To do this we went back to the original machines, technology and production techniques used by artists and producers of the era. We think we've done it, but with the kind of twist, F9 is infamous for!
I once worked for DMC UK - a company who in the 90s pioneered remix culture. One part of my studio duties was to transfer the master recording tapes from 2inch analog tape onto DAT for worldwide remixers. During that time I learned so much about record production by listening and experiencing so many of the world-class multitrack recordings that passed through our transfer studio
For me, the ONLY way to present a pack like this is in multitrack form so you can see just how parts can be designed to work together, how they intertwine sonically and musically and how a few live touches can come together with the machine backbeat to bring life and exceptional human energy to a funk recording.
But also you will often want to pull parts into your own production so traditional loops and hits are also vital for contemporary production.
Also, the musicality of this genre is specific so we wanted to make sure you have every possible midi file that was used in the creation of these musical pieces. With all this in mind...
