    This pack is a very powerful collection of samples, which will suit any hard electronic music style. Once again, a really solid and consistent release from Ghost Syndicate. All the bass sounds have loads of movement, so you can use them straight out, or loop/resample etc. to create original sounds of high quality very easily. The drum loops are tight and crisp, ready to drop into a track for quick results. Every sound is useful, which demonstrates Ghost Syndicate's high standards and means value for money...overall, totally recommended.


    POISON: Future Beats

    Another great pack from Ghost Syndicate, Poison focuses on 140/Bass genres with a very authentic set of samples. They nailed the dark vibe and produced percussive elements that cut through the mix whilst also sounding gritty and lofi. The atmospheres are dense and brooding, the basses heavy and warm. Each category of sounds has a good variation which makes this a good value pack.

    Another precise and consistent pack from my favourite label - Ghost Syndicate. The loops are tight and crisp, the basses are interesting, deep and varied, and the FX, perc and single shots are all superbly engineered. Every sound is worthy of dropping into your track, they sit well in the mix with very little work allowing you to create music quickly with maximum fun. Definitely worth grabbing this one.


    If you're looking for intense, emotive sounds then you can't go wrong with these presets. Pigments is a hugely diverse and configurable synth, and Eclipse takes full advantage of this. Every patch is detailed and evolving, with endless possibilities to develop each sound to fit your style/project. Playing some of the sounds on lower notes exposes some really powerful and interesting bass, this pack is a lot of fun to experiment with. Without a doubt, I will be using a lot of these presets in my own tracks. Highly recommended.


    TEFLON: Drum & Bass

    Rating: 9/10

    I always pay attention to new Ghost Syndicate packs as they are one of the most consistent producers out there. Teflon holds up to the usual high standard once again. There is a wide range of basses which are powerful, interesting and instantly useable, and the percussive elements are clean, crisp and wide. The real winner for me is the Serum patches which are high quality and allow reverse engineering to learn how these kind of sounds are made. All in all, a pack every bass and hard music producer should own.


    A really cool sample pack which I found lots of useful textures in. Using fragments of these gave many options and new ways of adding interesting layers to sounds. The pads and FX are dark and emotive, the percussion is tight but not overly harsh which is great. Ghost Syndicate really captured an organic vibe with these samples, it is their ability to create authentic content that makes them stand out as one of the best sample creators out there in my opinion.

    Rating: 8/10

    This pack contains many usable sounds that can be dropped straight into your DAW and will work in a variety of heavy electronic genres. The overall aesthetic is crisp and tight which is a must for any modern music production these days. All percussive elements cut through the mix well, and there are plenty of textures to add depth and interest. The bass sounds have lots of movement which means with resampling and looping, you can create many more unique versions. Ghost Syndicate have produced another great pack here...once again, highly recommended.


    CARBON: Drum & Bass

    Rating: 10/10

    A great collection of track-ready samples with lots of cutting edge textures and dynamics. The bass elements are powerful with a ton of movement, the breaks are very punchy and crisp, and the other percussion loops are tight... everything that is required in modern productions. All the one shots are of equal quality and can be utilized across a variety of genres. Some of these sounds have already been used in my tracks and the melodic elements brought some new inspiration and ideas. I fully recommend this pack, another top notch release from Ghost Syndicate.

    Rating: 10/10

    A very high quality pack with a large range of sounds and textures. Every sample is precisely eq'ed to a consistent weight and stereo image. The bass and tonal elements have immense depth, and will be equally at home used in film/game soundtracks or epic intros. The rhythmic elements are also top drawer, and will add complexity and interesting timbres. I have already found myself going straight to this pack when I am looking for something organic and heavy to use in my productions, highly recommended!


    Helheim

    Rating: 9/10

    Another great pack from Ghost Syndicate featuring a wide range of percussion, bass and loops for D&B and harder bass focused music. Dynamically very consistent throughout, and lots of interesting loops to chop or use as they are. The tonal elements are equally as good, and will fit easily into the mix. If you are looking for some fresh textures and pinpoint percussion and drums, you should definitely check this one out!


    Future Halftime

    Rating: 9/10

    A great futuristic sounding pack that can translate to many genres. Every spectrum of sound you need is in there, from powerful gritty basses to super tight transient percussion hits, and brooding atmospheres and FX. All sounds are very high quality with a balanced stereo field and have eq'd showing attention to detail. I will definitely be using many samples from this pack in my tracks.


    Tentacles

    Rating: 9/10

    Another great sample pack from Ghost Syndicate who have good sonic consistency throughout their range, which makes mixing samples from different packs much easier to do. Tentacles features some great textured percussion and loops that will give your music an organic but powerful feel. Hats and rides are fizzy without being harsh and kicks are solid and punchy. Alongside lots of interesting modulated basslines and a wide variation of synth timbres, this pack has everything you need.


    Industrial Bass Music

    Rating: 8/10

    Some super heavy sounds in this pack! A decent range of textures in the basses and synths, plus a full compliment of percussion ranging from metallic hats and snares, through to glitched hits and big kicks. Most of the content is distorted/saturated so this is great all round pack for those genres like Hardcore, Dubstep, Industrial Techno etc. that need a gritty edge.


    Nostrum

    Rating: 9/10

    Another great sample pack from Ghost Syndicate showing their consistency across multiple genres. Breaks are crisp with lots of energy, percussion is snappy, bass is heavy with lots of movement...everything you need to build Drum & Bass (or Drum & Bass influenced tracks). All samples are labelled well, and precisely edited so can be easily dropped into your DAW and used instantly. Would definitely recommend.


    Some real gems in this preset pack that you can use "as is" or build on top of to create your own unique sounds. The kicks are varied and respond nicely to the automation controls, bringing different possibilities for textures, especially when pushed though some more distortion and compression. All major components are covered, making this pack a great choice for hardcore producers in particular, although other hard dance styles will also find lots of inspiration in this pack.


    A collection of instantly useable patches but with very effective and imaginative macros that radically change the sound and give a wide scope of potential. The overall texture throughout the pack is dense and interesting, pushing the patches through some distortion also creates nice results. These sounds can be utilized in many genres, even the harder side like Hardcore and D&B. Would definitely recommend if you want some fresh inspiration in Serum, or indeed you want some modern textures to use.


    A nice array of textures in the bass section make this a very usable track for different genres. All the sounds in the pack are balanced well with good stereo content and dynamic definition. I found good inspiration in the music section too, even using small snippets of the loops yielded nice stabs that I used in some of my recent productions. This pack is worth getting for all these reasons.


    Enzyme II

    Rating: 9/10

    An excellent pack for any genre that requires heavy hitting percussion and/or futuristic sounds. A very consistent selection of samples with high quality and interesting sound design, every sound is usable. I found myself taking elements of the percussive loops first, which have a nice airy top end whilst still retaining clean transients. The bass sounds have lots of movement and width, plus solid low end. The pads/atmos/fx are well thought out, and provide a range of moods and intensity. The synths have good energy and fit the vibe of the rest of the pack well. Overall, would highly recommend to producers looking for inspiration in any of the harder genres.
