'Santé: Groove Essentials' is a brand new royalty-free sample collection of loops and hits oozing with natural groove and bounce. These sounds are ready to drop into any modern genres of Dance production including Deep, Techno, House, and Tribal. All the tools are here to produce Deep driving House and Techno productions filled with organic tones and natural swung grooves.
Santé has created a wonderful, deep percussive-based collection of loops and sounds featuring hypnotic Tribal beats and deep subsonic basslines topped off with warm organic melodies and atmospheres.
Berlin's Santé emerged as part of a wave of new producers with a different cut to their Electronic jib around the time that Deep House was losing its way somewhat. His productions ooze character, charisma, soul, colour, humour and above all, a sense of humanity.
After teaching himself to play the guitar in his early teens, Santé bought himself an Akai MPC-2000 when he was 16 and set the ball rolling for a life entrenched in Electronic music. After leaving home to immerse himself in the Dance music mecca that is Berlin, he got himself a studio internship and whilst working on producing, blossomed by producing jingles and ad music.
All the while he was nurturing his passion for House music, and one of his demos found its way to Matt "Radio Slave" Edwards. His first ever release came out on Edwards' acclaimed REKIDS imprint, setting the bar incredibly high and garnering him a lot of high-profile attention in the process.
In recent times, his style has taken on yet more verve, with the warmth of the House he has always known and loved now bolstered by a loose Techno rhythm and percussive drive.
The sensuality remains, yet with more dancefloor urgency. Whether it's one of his acclaimed live shows or one of his DJ sets you're listening to, the infectious energy is always there and Santé's productions effortlessly span the old and new skool in the most uncontrived of ways.
Expect to find 357 MB of 24-Bit/44.1 kHz loops and samples including deep basses, percussive beats, hypnotic SFX, warm organic music loops, crisp top loops and punchy drum one-shots.
In detail, you'll find 35 bass loops, 45 drum loops, 43 music loops, 50 top loops, five SFX loops, 40 drum one-shots, 34 SFX hits, 178 REX2 files and seven drum and FX soft sampler patches for Kontakt , Halion, EXS24, NN-XT and SFZ formats.
With releases on Cocoon and the kings of Big Room House, Defected, through to underground darlings like Desolat, Supernature and 8Bit, few producers can claim such a breadth of imprints to be associated with at any one time.
Plans for the future include his long-awaited debut artist album, which he promises will be more of a song-based affair than a straight-up collection of dancefloor grooves and his fledgling Avotre brand, currently housing a record label and with a clothing line in the making.
With his impressive release schedule to boot, he's looking to be bigger than ever over the coming months.
Fans of Santé will relish this release and anyone looking for strong percussive beats and melodies will make this pack their go-to sample collection.
