Much of Techno’s history is rooted in this expressive sound, constantly evolving new ideas and emotions within the familiar four-to-the-floor territory. Samples are inspired by the fundamentals with an array of rave stabs, hefty basslines and atmospheric pads encouraging producers to contribute their verse to the futuristic world of techno.

Warehouse Industrial Techno Vol.2

 

 

Returning after their all-time best-seller, Samplestate’s infamous ‘Warehouse Industrial Techno’ dives further into the industrial walls of the genre.  

 

Inspired by the sound of Len Faki and the darker shades of techno championed by the legendary Soma Records, expect heavy, heads-down tackle in this bespoke collection. Driving, hypnotic loops are in abundance, merging a sea of colourful synths and pads with the gritty, punishing percussion synonymous with this strain of club music.

Nubilous - Slowed Techno

 

 

Slow things down and experiment with tension and release in this unique pack from Blind Audio. Some of electronic music’s most memorable music is that of obscure tempos. Think Aphex Twin, Autechre, Orbital, artists that push the boundaries of production methods in their IDM and ambient works.

 

Delve into the same eerie, hypnotic vibe common with many of your favourite techno tracks except almost half the speed. All samples are rendered at 100 BPM in the key of C, inviting an alternate approach to producing that has the potential to open some creative doors.

Alex Stein - Rise Techno

 

 

Get inspired by the Brazilian-Bavarian flavours of Alex Stein. Born from his free-spirited nature involved with Brazi’s illegal rave scene, the raw energy of Stein’s work is immediately identifiable.

 

Crafting an intriguing style that meanders through melodic tendencies laced with shades of mischief, the inevitably unique sound of Stein’s nomadic life is something every producer could learn from. ‘Rise Techno’ is a rare blend of the academic approach through his audio engineering studies combined with the rebellious nature of his larger-than-life personality.

 

Over 900 MB of sounds explore the moody, enigmatic energy he has become known for. Expect emotive synth lines and fiery percussion to help find your flow with one of techno’s most prolific features.

Slamming kick drums and twisted, techy percussion is at the heart of this warehouse-style sound. You can picture the likes of Ben Klock or Marcel Dettmann shelling a massive car park rave with these abrasive and expressive sounds.

Foundations by Michael Klein

 

 

Heading back to Samplesounds’ artist series, the Berlin-based Michael Klein steps up to provide a peek into his sleek, sensual tracks. His prolific output has landed on the likes of Sven Vath’s Cocoon Recordings and Pan-Pot’s Second State, two collectives central to the deeper, groove-ridden sound of techno.
