'Experimental Dubstep Vol 2' marks the second installment of this exciting new series from Producer Loops. Jeff Rhodes, creator of 'Ambient Glitch', 'Dance Glitch', and co-creator of the 'World Tek' series, delivers FIVE outstanding Construction Kits packed full of immovable basses, irresistible grooves, and synths stacked chest high.

With his first foray into Construction Kits, Jeff wanted to create some compelling set pieces for your audio movies to take place in. A sense of place and space, somewhere things happen, grow, and change unexpectedly over time. while also leaving room for musicians to add their own heroes and villians, and decide the ultimate course of events.

With a unique and quirky vibe, 'Experimental Dubstep Vol 2' takes that familiar half time groove and infuses it with experimental processing, abstract melodies and dizzying electronic ambience - perfect for all of you mad-dub-scientists out there!

All loops are recorded at 140 BPM in this unmissable volume, so you can mix and match between the kits and use them in many other styles of music.

The Production Process:

Jeff Rhodes, producer of 'Experimental Dubstep Vol 2', describes the production process - "I've always liked mixing things up, and anything as heavy and sci-fi sounding as Dubstep was just naturally going to find it's way into my head.

By the time I got into really investigating Dubstep, it had evolved into such a powerful sound that it was impossible to ignore and I had to get my hands on it. I wanted to use the momentum of all the wobble basses, tweak the videogame synth sounds, ride the triplet hi-hat rhythms, and nail down the tight kick & snare beat that drives this energetic new music.

The goal was to get into the sound of it, but to still keep a little bit of that outsider style going on. The touch of industrial music influence I tried to add was what I feel makes it all fall into place in these kits.

I found myself reaching for the compressor a lot, as well as all manner of distortions and bit crushers to shape the sound. And the FX breaks were like an all expenses paid vacation! What more can I say about getting to make such chaotic soundscapes in the middle of a track?

It's not often that a person gets to throw out the rulebook and still succeed, but Dubstep seems to be a place you can do that, and everyone is invited. I hope you dig what you hear and find some cool new ways to make it part of your music."

All Kits are provided in a uniform tempo ensuring that they slot together effortlessly and are available as ACIDized WAV, Apple Loops, REX and Reason ReFill.

I'm glad to see this one is out now. I've been dabbling in dub/dubstep a bunch since last fall, and PL suggested I join their great new Experimental Dubstep series. It probably goes without saying that this isn't just a bunch more synthy growls and Skrillex-a-like stuff, it's a little more toned down and hopefully useful to producers who want to use the sound(s) of dubstep, but not like "be instantly and completely turned into that style or whatever". If I can say that without any disrespect to the Skrillex types, because I do enjoy their take on it very much as well. Just wanted to clarify, and encourage everyone to give it a listen since I know it's a crowded field, and something a little different is tough to find sometimes.

I'm not 100% sure what the freebee pack status is, but I hope everyone gets a chance to check out the demo that KvR local musician & sound designer 3ee helped me tons with.

Just in *bump* case anyone missed it over the weekend.

And thanks again to KvR local, musician, and sound designer - 3ee for his help. If you have 2 1/2 mins to spare, consider checking out the mp3 demo he made for it.

Experimental Dubstep Vol 2 was reviewed this week ---- http://beatsmedia.com/reviews/reviewed- ... tep-vol-2/

I would pretty much agree with what was said, it's meant to be quality over quantity. And the parts don't repeat 2/4/8 times just for filler. Heck unless it's got an effect on it, the reversed parts from the demo do not appear in the pack, since anyone can reverse a loop or sample in their host, and doesn't need to be paying extra for that eh.

And one last *bump* in case anyone missed the news release last week. Thanks for taking a look, and look for Vol 3 in a few weeks.

Well, with no disrespect to anyone, I think people around here like to put their hands on a synth or sampler and make their own stuff.
Taking "ready made" loops kind of steals the fun in a way. I use loops just when I don't have a realistic way to emulate or record the real thing, mostly for drums.

I used to have all kinds of opinions on loops and samples, but these days, it's just about making a cool track with whatever tools I have or need.

And I do agree that a person will probably find more satisfaction & have more fun 'making' their own music, however, that doesn't at all rule out using/chopping up some loops in the process eh.

It looks like it's on sale already, through the 20th, 20% off - Prices From: £9.97 (USD $15.50)

ED Vol 3 should be out soon, possibly even this month, and I'm told it will probably be my 2nd set (of the 6). So keep an ear out for that, it's got more great kits, and all the parts heard in the demo and then some.
