Passenger Records Nick Thayer (who has 30 releases, 2 mix CDs and a Breakspoll Award behind him according to Loopmasters) has put together a selection of beats, breaks and bass lines released in Loopmasters Artist Series.

From the Loopmasters press release:

The Breaks Producer collection includes over 350 samples, with more than 40 Sub crunching and resonant Bass grooves, 75 Heavy Duty Breakbeat Drumloops, 45 Atmospheric and groove based Musical Loops, 20 processed vocal loops and samples, Searing SFX and more than 100 single Drum sounds suitable for programming your own heavyweight drum patterns and breaks. Also included in this pack are 15 multi-sampled instruments ready to load and play in your favourite soft sampler.

Tech Specs: 380Mb download including 371 wav samples, 170 Rex2 Loops, 30 patches for soft samplers, apple loops, Reason Refill and Ableton Live versions are also available.

Here are some quotes from people you might know if you’re familiar with the genre, or not, I don’t know, I’m not familiar with it.

Nick Thayer keeps it tight, lets it groove and smacks it up – one of only a few dj’s who can program a set without playing badly produced tear out, speeded up big beat, cheese or prog nonsense.

Nicks label, tracks and remixes have been going from strength to strength over the last few years propelling him to the forefront of the Breaks scene…and deservedly so.. When it comes to phat funky beats n breaks…Nicks your man!
