REVIEW: "DJ Stakka has been a fixture on the drum'n'bass scene for a number of years and has released tracks on, among others, RAM Records and Trouble on Vinyl. Now he's seen fit to deliver this DVD; it comes chock full of drums, basslines and all the other elements you might need to create your own dancefloor rinse-out. Many of the beats are easily recognisable classic breaks that have been re-programmed as instantly usable modern DnB rhythms, but there's plenty of less familiar stuff too. If ready-made drum'n'bass loops are what you're after, Firestorm shouldn't disappoint." - COMPUTER MUSIC magazine, UK
Breakbeat & Drum Loops Stakka has taken his favourite breakbeats many of which he has used in his releases. The breaks have been EQ'd, compressed and processed to make them roll nicely and smack up the club sound system. Categories include Classic 90s Breaks (all of the classic 90s rave breaks), Funked Breaks (for the more Liquid styles), Classic Breaks (The all time classics that D&B producers like to use), Roller Breaks & Thumper Breaks (The pounders and the heavy weights)
Bass The bass samples in this library cover every angle of D&B. All have been processed and programmed to give you fast and easy access to some hot bass sounds from the Stakka Vault of personal sounds. Categories include Distorted Bass, Kick Bass (Classic Thumping Kick Basses), Rave Bass (From the classic analog machines used in the 90s UK Rave Scene), Reece Bass (Every variation of the classic Reece Bass), Stakka Processed (some basses programmed by Stakka) and Sub Bass (All the Sub you will ever need to add the phatness and authority on the low end in your mix)
FX Samples FX samples - Ear candy for your track, the icing on the cake. 50 samples for you to layer on the track, creating complexity to your mix. Categories include Distressed, General FX, Reversed FX (to create intense build ups) and Vocal FX.
Percussion & Drum Kit Samples Stakka's Favorite Drum and Percussive hits that he has built up and used for the past 10 years. All of which have been Stakka's 'go to' sounds when writing many of the Underfire, Ram, Liftin Spirit and Audio Blueprint releases. Categories Include Bongos & Congas, Caribbean Hits, Crash Cymbals, Electro Kit, Closed Hats, Open Hats, Kicks, Rides, Rim & Clave, Shaker, Snare Drum, Tambourines & Toms.
60 x Percussion Loops Stakka gives up some of his favorite percussive loops which he uses very effectively to bring the next level of energy into his track. These have been in every track he has ever written, usually merged into the rhythm of the beat or brought in on the turnaround to step the pace up and give a new wave of excitement to the mix. Categories include Hat Loops, Shaker Loops, Ride Loops, Percussion Loops, Tambourine Loops & Shuffle Loops.
Rave Chords, Stabs & FX Revisiting the roots of the scene and drawing upon the sounds of the old skool (the 90s UK Rave Scene) has always played an integral part of D&B music. But most of the new wave of producers in the scene didn't live through that period, produce the music and DJ the music and therefore don't have the access to the sounds from that period. In the Rave Candy section of the library Stakka has dug through this personal library vault and provided a definitive selection of 'Rave Candy'. You'll hear some classics and some obscure sounds all programmed up and ready for you to deliver that killer top line hook on your track. Categories include Blips, Chord Stabs, FX Stabs, Moog Stabs, Spazm Stabs & General Stabs.
Multisampled Pads Stakka has provided some superb sets of pad and synth multisamples, from huge rave synth and deep Space Age Pads, through to vintage analog flavours and textured orchestral layers. Perfect sounds to get a fresh new skool vibe to your track.
Demo / Construction Kit Tracks Stakka programmed up 14 demo tracks, encompassing all styles of D&B. Each track is broken down into its individual elements for you use as you see fit or for you simply to get inspiration from when using the sounds in your own tracks
