Wowee!!! A shedload of funk, dub, ska awaits you in this genuine blockbuster of a library.
Getting the true sound of dub is very hard indeed so why not let the masters do it for you?
Once you sample this 'Ten out of Ten' collection you'll be cursing yourself if you missed Vol 1 - so get that as well.
You get folders of the musical loops themselves of course plus a folder of sounds and FX. And the pack is 'busting at the seams with goodness and all for just under forty notes? Incredible value indeed.
Thank the Lord - Loopmasters have made my job much easier by telling you exactly what's in the pack so over to them:
In detail expect to find 2.54 GB of content with 813 individual 24 Bit wav files. 312 Loops include 54 Bass Loops, 70 Drum Loops, 154 Music Loops [8 Hammond, 21 Organ, 14 Melodica, 23 Piano, 16 Guitar, 6 Trumpet, 10 Horn, 41 Synth, 6 Brass, 4 Vox, 2 Clav and 3 FX Loops] and 34 Percussion Loops. 501 One Hits include 11 Bass Hits, 10 Bass Multi Instruments [106 Samples], 12 Cymbal Swells, 173 Drum Hits [8 Claps, 15 Cymbals, 20 Hats, 43 Kicks, 21 Percs and 66 Snares], 139 FX Hits [4 Ambience, 85 Misc Dub FX, 46 MS Dub, 4 Ride Patterns], 34 Synth Hits, 2 Synth Multi Instruments [26 Samples]. 374 Rex2 files are included.'
And if you are new to the Dub Pistols themselves, well: 'An expansive 18-year career has seen the Dub Pistols working with The Specials, Busta Rhymes, Horace Andy, Madness and Gregory Isaacs. Their genre-smashing abilities have led to remix work for the likes of Moby, Crystal Method, Limp Bizkit, Bono, Korn & Ian Brown, Busta Rhymes, and soundtrack credits on Blade 2 & Y Tu Mama Tambien.
'Since their sixth album, ‘Return Of The Pistoleros’, (released on Rob Da Banks’s Sunday Best imprint) they’ve worked with the artist Gavin Turk and created music for a Banksy documentary. The rising star of British street art, Ben Allen, created his whole collection while listening to the Dub Pistols. Nothing is beyond the Dub Pistols – with Bono and The Edge at their electric live shows and Howard Marks doing their sleeve notes. The epic journey continues with Smoking Dubs 2!'
So there you have it - you simply cannot buy any better if you are a dub-head but, as usual, don't just take my word for it.
