Artists like Herbie Hancock, Jeff Lorber, Earth Wind & Fire, Quincy Jones, Jean-Michel Jarre, Isao Tomita, and Kraftwerk helped feed his ingenuity. His music spans over a decade on labels such as JVC Japan, Om Records, Warner, Tokyo Dawn Records, Tru Thoughts, Sony/BMG, Swedish Brandy and Especial Records.

Featuring deep and resonating Funky Bass Loops, Clavs, Electro Jazz, Vintage Funk Loops, Electric Disco samples, Clavs and Pads, Slap and Electro Bass, Drums, Percussion and a lot more besides, this is a unique sound selection.

Fifty ready-to-play patches are also included for Reason NN-XT, Halion, EXS, SFZ and Kontakt compatible soft samplers.

“With this sample pack I take the cue from my ‘Voltage Controlled Feelings’ album and continue to explore and interpret the origins of Electro Funk and Boogie. Loads of juicy and fat synths, slapped bass, sparkling Rhodes and slamming drums. Mostly interchangeable four bar loops, some clean, some noisy and dirty, all hand-crafted for your cutting and pasting pleasure!”
