'Daft Funk' is a collection of lovingly-crafted riffs, loops, beats and multis, all busting with the distinctive bumping swagger that we all know and love as the grooving soulful sound of French electronica. Some of the most iconic Dance Music of the last 20 years has come from the shores of France, leading the filter Electro sound.
Basing the tracks around a straight four to the floor groove with a heavy Disco Funk Soul influence, but bringing a contemporary Electronic sound into the mix with House production techniques and sounds.
Many of these popular releases have relied on sampling the main groove from records to capture the live feel and vibes from the original 70's and 80's classic records, which is a risky business and can lead to long legal battles if the sample is not cleared. With 'Daft Funk' you can avoid these hassles and get straight to the Funk!
Monster Sounds have thrown down a huge set of grooves, from beats to basslines, keys and funky guitar licks that Niles himself would be proud of. Mixing the full grooves together then give you the chance to filter and mash them up as if you were sampling from a record. This is the key to capturing the sound of sampling records, as the way your filters react to the full loops is much more authentic if all the instruments are playing together.
To give you full flexibility, they have given many of the grooves split down in to individual parts to allow you to build your own grooves.
Drum-wise, Monster have given you a mixture of live drum loops for Funk and Disco, but also some thumping House beats and tops to get the floor shaking and a set of one-shots to build your own kits.
In the bass department, in addition to a great selection of live Funk bass riffs, they have included a whole heap of the dirtiest Electro synth bass grooves and one-shots to get the cones rattling on the more Electro style tracks.
There are plenty of hand raising pad riffs perfect for the breakdowns and creativity-inspiring top line leads. For the riff-writers, a great set of multi samples to craft your own parts. Also for the Complextro crew a great collection of one-shot stabs, perfect for accenting your riffs to get that Complextro mash-up sound.
The instruments finish up with a great set of funky guitar riffs with plenty of wah-wah goodness. The final parts are the FX, with the inclusion of the always-useful up and down whooshes to make the euphoric builds and drops.
