HiP HOP / 224 Loops / 84 One Shots

Ol’ Dirty Samples pays homage to the old school East Coast hip hop vibes of the basement studio. Walls of dusty records, buzzing hardware, and 16-pad samplers. A collection of grungy re-sampled loops, low bitrate piano chops, gritty drums, and nostalgic vocal stacks created in collaboration with Arthouse Acoustics. We recorded live with pro players including vintage pianos, double bass, soulful guitars, and full vocal choir stacks. Every composition was mixed, mastered, and then heavily re-sampled to create MPC style chops and cuts and nostalgic song-starters and one-shots. We employed heavy tape saturation, downsampling, pitched and reversed techniques to soak every loop with authentic golden era feel. Arthouse Acoustics raided their exclusive live drums, breaks, and percussion recording archives, chopping and processing unique hits to create a vintage-style kit perfect for boom bap and lo-fi hip hop.
