Prime Loops are extremely proud to present one of their hottest releases to date: Minimal and Twisted House Drum Loops. Drawing inspiration from around the world’s most prestigious bars, beaches and nightclubs, this masterful infusion of over 130 underground drumbeats forcefully tears down the boundaries of modern dance music to the core.

Minimal Techno from Berlin, Twisted beats from Miami, Dark House music from London and Rhythmic grooves from Brazil all come together to bring you one awe inspiring album of twisted filth! Prepare to be utterly revolted yet ultimately fascinated by this collection of construction grooves, drum loops, top loops and percussion, which will help you to bring your productions into focus with the next generation house music.

Inside you will find a variety of grooves and rhythmic styles, including warm organic rolling drums that make your feet tap uncontrollably, to floor filling minimal grooves, intricately crafted complex beats and sporadic patterns that give you that spine-tingling chemical rush of techno satisfaction! Verging on Minimal, flirting with Electro, sparring with House and dicing with Techno, this pack has been inspired by many genres….all of which have been chewed up and spat out into a big lump of rebellion! Whether your style is dark and ambient or downright dirty, this sound suite will have you itching to get in the studio and begin your next masterpiece.

Minimal & Twisted House Drum Loops was created by the same artist responsible for the best selling ‘Minimal Synthesis,’ and has been developed with today’s producer in mind. Each drum loop is provided with an identical loop minus the bass drum, should you wish to drop it out for a few bars or add an entirely different kick altogether, and the more complex loops have been split up into 3 or 4 parts, so that you can build up or drop them out as you please.

We hope you enjoy using these samples, and if you are looking for something different. but be warned: your productions may never be the same again!

LaymansReviews.com Review:

As genres go, 'Minimal' isn't the easiest to describe to a newcomer, not least as the name is something of a misnomer. Where much dance music runs shy of anything other than kick, snare, hats and the occasional bongo, Minimal drum production is frequently a deft balancing act between intricately programed layers and sparse, airy-sounding loops. Dub-style effects interweave with glitchy flutters and digital clicks, supported by a clean, sub-bass foundation... minimal by name it may be, but production-wise it's anything but!

One of the common mistakes when sample libraries attempt to venture into genres such as this is to lose sight of the fact that the music, for all the digital flourishes and and jokes about 11-minute long remixes, is still made for the dancefloor. Listen to the likes of Get Physical's DJ T, Thomas Schumacher or Trentemoller and a clear, focussed groove can always be identified, underpinning the Minimal trimmings with a structural awareness often missed by sample providers more interested in replicating the sounds alone.

All credit to Prime Loops then for this selection of tightly sequenced beats and percussive rhythms. The 130 drum loops in this collection all seem to "get it", with feet firmly rooted to an eclectic set of dancefloors. The sequences play on the genre's wide reach and ear for diverse rhythms, with polyrhythmic Brazilian-influenced top-end loops rubbing shoulders with Berlin-esque techno grooves and the UK's deep, dark blog-friendly house.

From the same producer responsible for Prime Loop's best selling ‘Minimal Synthesis’ collection, the loops are crystal clear, immaculately programmed and capture the Minimal sound perfectly. The low end doesn't seem to be overly compressed, and in practice we found loops could be dropped into productions from the outset without worrying about crushing the sound with subsequent mastering. Loops are for the most part provided with an identical loop minus the kick to allow for variations and drops, and more complex loops have been further sub-divided giving the opportunity to build the sequence in productions.

Prime Loops always provide their loops in a comprehensive range of formats, and Minimal & Twisted House Drum Loops is no exeption.

Prime Loops are justifiably proud of this release. Minimal (along with all the sub-genres within) is a tricky genre to get right, but this collection does an admirable job without falling into the realms of cliche. The collection also draws from a wide range of source influences without losing a sense of coherence and identity. The release serves to reinforce Prime Loops' strength as loop developers, which is a keen ear for contemporary production styles, and access to the production skills to pull it off without sounding contrived.

Summary

The collection isn't entirely without fault - stripped back low-end only variations of each loop to mirror the top-end only options would have significantly increased flexibility, and a few hits and FX wouldn't have gone amiss. But at the price, it seems churlish to criticise too heavily, especially considering the quality of the sounds and the detail of the loop programming on offer. When you add to the that the range of formats the loops are available in, Prime Loops' Minimal & Twisted House Drum Loops is a worthwhile purchase for anyone with their finger even hovering over the pulse of modern house production, or at least half an ear to the current dancefloor.
