Volume 2 of the Cinematic Sound Design series, Darkness is a collection of 2.8 GB of original loops and samples created for use in film, TV, games, and the more dystopian forms of Metal, Hip Hop, Grunge, etc.

All of the sounds in this project were created from "real" sources; i.e., no synths were used on any of this material. The drones, rhythmic loops, soundscapes and effects on DARKNESS were derived from recordings of things like metal bridges, cables, dumpsters, machines, and metal-stringed instruments such as waterphones, detuned autoharps, and one very old and beat up piano harp.

Funky Hip Hop Grooves from DJ Khalid and Supalife Records is Urban street at its purest, laced with upfront and personal drums, lush cymbals, warm punchy basslines, epic orchestral strings, pristine pianos, funky horn stabs, vocoder vocals and a lot more.

Funky Hip Hop Grooves Comes With over 2.7GB of content and 1,492 files (per format) and no less than 324 MIDI files for professional producers.
