Cold Cut: Sound Science
Coldcut's Matt Black and John More need no introduction... responsible for some of the digital generation's finest musical moments as one of the first acts to successfully fuse samples and loops to forge a distinctive hip hop and dance identity. Join them here as they prize open the coveted Coldcut sample vault, "Located deep within a secure facility at Ninja hindquarters, and sourced from over twenty years of electronic music creation, this library contains only the strongest survivors of sound... for your delectation and musical pleasure!"

Content: 620MB of royalty-free samples, including weighty kicks, snappy snares, happy claps, slurpy hats, credit-crunching crashes, snicky-snacky percussion, plus several rolls of tom toms, combined with a tightly-honed group of loops, obscure vintage synth-generated electronic parps, burbles, and stabs, mixed with a dash of scratchy stuff, and rounded out with deep bass lines. No cheese required! Tech Specs: 37 bass loops, 166 drum loops, 111 musical loops, 41 vocal/FX loops, eight bass multi-samples, 126 drum hits, 21 FX, and 11 instrument multi-samples.

Il.Ek.Tro Silicon
Perfect for electro, techno, tech house, progressive, deep house, glitch, minimal, and IDM, this razor-sharp sample pack for Ableton Live 7 created by prodigious producer/remixer Carl Finlow (a.k.a. Random Factor and Silicon Scally) is all about driving crunchy electro and techno beats, sliced and diced into modular and flexible drum racks.

Content: 35 performance and bass machines featuring effects chains designed for live performance and endless tweaking — perfect for studio or stage usage (with a limiting module at the end of each chain to prevent the final output from clipping in a live performance or DJ setting).
