We just released a stellar new sample pack, re:produce 004: Kazell. This one is available exclusively on RV, and it offers 125 MB of uberlicious, inspiring sounds for just $10!
 
You probably already know that Kazell is an exceptional DJ, but I’m still going to say a bit about him before describing his re:produce pack…
 
Kazell is a UK native and Los Angeles transplant. When he first got to the States in 1991, he started building an impeccable reputation in Atlanta (his home base) and all along the East Coast. If you’ve heard his music, then you know he plays a mind-stimulating breed of tunes – a fusion of dub, tribal, and breaks, layered on top of a tech house base. More recently, Kazell has broken into the upper echelons of the dance music industry, going from “one of the hottest DJs in warmup” (according to the L.A. Times) to a label owner and peak hour headliner in demand worldwide. In making his ascent in the industry, Kazell has played gigs with the biggest DJs in the world like Sander Kleinenberg, Deep Dish, Sasha, and Digweed (at their request).
 
In addition to his success as a DJ, Kazell has amassed a solid body of work in the studio. His critically acclaimed 2003 debut release Driven was voted “best compilation of the year” by Jive Magazine. His tracks have also appeared on top labels like Global Underground and Lost Language, and they’ve been featured on compilations by DJs like Sander Kleinenberg and Nick Warren.
 
On a more personal note, I must say that I’ve been an ardent fan of Kazell since I first heard his Kiss 100 guest mix back in 2006 – amazing, vintage prog
 
Obviously, we were pleased to have Kazell do the honors for creating re:produce 004, and he absolutely delivered the goods! His aim in creating this pack was to offer you a view directly into his world of production. This top-shelf sample collection includes:
 
          9 Arp Sequences
          7 Bassline Sequences
          24 Drum and Percussion Hits (with a flexible NI Battery Kit)
          24 Grooves
          2 Synth Risers
          4 Synth Chords/Pads
 
As an added bonus, Kazell threw in five Native Instruments “Massive” patches, which are crafted to allow for superb flexibility and control. He recorded all of his re:produce sounds using Logic, deriving sounds from analogue and digital sources.
 
When asked for feedback about the re:produce 004 pack, Kazell said:
 
It’s great to build a track from the ground up, synthesizing every element, but for most of us that’s just not realistic. With this pack, I wanted to share some of the custom building blocks I reach for when starting a new track. I tend to write these types of parts when I’m in between projects and keep them as flexible and open ended as possible. I hope you enjoy this sample pack.
