Tweet: Mutekki Media - Source Samples, Sounds, Loops

Mutekki Media launches Source, a sample library by Jeremy Goldstein of EVAC/Quadrant 5 Studios. This sample library looks to be something for me :)

"This versatile library showcases his diversity, incorporating a variety of genres and tempos, taken from countless sources and production techniques. While the main focus is on Electro, IDM, Ambient and more experimental facets of dance music, users will also find a substantial amount of content geared towards Techno, Drum & Bass and Hip-Hop. These sounds were created with cross-pollination and interchangeability as a primary focus, in an attempt to transcend the conventions and restraints of traditional genre-based collections."
