Producer Sharooz Raoofi writes:
The initial idea for 'Soundclash' came from my DJ sets in and around the UK - I was starting to realise that whilst the traditional house sound had shifted hugely towards a more synthesizer-based electronica feel, this music would cease to evolve unless there was a live element of sorts - be it a snatch of live guitar, bass, vocals or real drums.
To date, I was unaware of any sample library that captured the true essence of this sound, as most veered more towards 80s old-skool electro or the tech-house sound of the late 90s. 'Soundclash' is intended as a more open-minded approach to dance music, breakbeats sit comfortably with conventional house sounds, minimal beats and techno.
The basslines and musical elements are influenced as much by rock and punk as they are by dance music - in fact many of the basslines were played live on electric bass and transcribed as synth lines. From a technical viewpoint, 'Soundclash' comprises an equal balance of digital sound sources and genuine analogue machines from the 80s and early 90s.
One sound which will be immediately familiar across the library is that of the Roland SH-101, in my opinion one of the warmest and phattest 80s monosynths! Most of the beats were composed through the 12-bit classic Akai MPC 60 - still an absolute favourite of mine and a must for that authentic 80s drum grit! Most of the sounds were treated with digital plug-ins, as I find this to be the perfect combination for dance music; analogue sound sources with digital processing - the best of both worlds!
I suppose 'Soundclash' is a fitting title for the project, as throughout it the latest digital impulse reverbs and modeling plug-ins clash and blend with old-skool samplers, fx units and drum machines - I only hope you enjoy using 'Soundclash' as much as I enjoyed making it!
About Sharooz:
"Relentless, vibed up and potentially massive" - Kris Needs, DMC Update, May 2006
Starting his musical career at the tender age of 12, Sharooz began playing guitar in punk bands in his native Northern Ireland during the mid-90s, before beginning to produce dance music and start DJing around 1998. His first gigs took the form of live PAs using just a drum machine and sampler, playing alongside the likes of King Unique, Peace Division and Inland Knights at the legendary Smokescreen free parties.
After a short spell working at the legendary FFRR and Strictly Rhythm labels, Sharooz began remixing, playing and writing dance music professionally. His first release was a remix of Afro Medusa's 'Dreams' on Beautiful Noise, subsequently licensed to Warner Music Italy in 2002.
Following this came a number of major label remixes including US soul sensations Calvin Richardson and Angie Irons. The latter was picked up by New York based Robbins Music and licensed across the world, appearing on various labels and compilations. During this time Sharooz's DJing profile began to rise, leading to gigs at Space and Cafe Mambo in Ibiza, Turnmills in London and Passion in Coalville to name but a few.
Over the past 7 years Sharooz has DJ'ed alongside such luminaries as Pete Tong, Marshall Jefferson, Terry Francis and even Shaun Ryder! Under his Monofonic guise, Sharooz has worked with Mercury Music Prize nominee Martina Topley-Bird and most recently remixed Howard Jones's comeback single on UMM. As S.MS, with veteran house DJ Matt Shepherd, Sharooz recently reworked the Masterbuilders' 'It's Alright', debuting in the Hype Chart top 10.
In addition to this, Sharooz also composes production music for BMG Zomba and EMI Music Publishing. After 3 years of primarily remixing and producing others, Sharooz releases his debut single 'Hell Yeah' via Mofohifi records (www.mofohifi.com). Played six times in a row by Judge Jules on Radio 1, 'Hell Yeah' has also won major support from Robbie Rivera, Roger Sanchez on his Release Yourself radio shows, James Hyman on XFM, Galaxy FM, Vibe FM and debuted at number 2 in the DMC Buzz Chart.

License Agreement
The Following End User License Agreement is included with Soundclash. This License is only valid for the individual who has purchased an unopened, new and lawfully made copy of Soundclash from a dealer or distributor authorized by Big Fish Audio.
"Zero-G USER LICENSE and FAQs Thank you for purchasing and downloading this Zero-G product. Please note that when you purchase and download a Zero-G Sample CD or Download Pack, you do not become the owner of the sounds. In fact you have purchased a license to use the sounds within your musical compositions, and you can release such musical compositions commercially. Please see our full License Agreement below for further details. You may use these sounds in combination with other sounds within your musical compositions, and release such compositions commercially without payment of any further fees or royalties for such usage. For example, if you are the original purchaser of a Zero-G Sample CD or Download Pack and you use sounds from it to create the soundtrack of a television commercial or the theme tune for a popular TV show, and your composition is broadcast hundreds of times, you would keep all the royalties that you earn from this, because you already purchased a license to use the sounds commercially. However, you cannot use these sounds to make another sample CD, or "library music" sound file album, or multimedia sound library CD-ROM or use any of the sounds as any type of download, or make any other similar type of product from any of these sounds that effectively competes against Zero-G; and you may not share these sounds with others. For further clarification, see our FAQs and the full license below. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT USING ZERO-G SAMPLE LIBRARIES Do I have to pay additional licensing fees if my use of these samples ends up on a hit record or other high-profile projects? NO, your original purchase of the Zero-G sample library is your only license fee. We hope you do get to use our sounds on a hit! Do I have to credit this sample library title if I use any of it on a recording? NO, but it would be appreciated!! Can my writing partner, colleagues or friends use these samples once I’ve bought the sample library? NO, each person who uses the sounds must purchase their own copy (which licenses them to use the sounds). Anyone other than the original purchaser of the disc, who uses the sounds is doing it illegally - risking legal action against both them and their clients! Are these samples legally safe to use? YES, we guarantee that Zero-G libraries are 100% copyright clean and that you can use them safely in your music. Can I offer these sounds to clients as part of my recording studio or rental company services? NO, sorry, but each person who uses the sounds (the creative person) has to be a licensed user. This situation could cause tremendous legal problems for studio or rental clients. Can I use these samples to make “Music Libraries”? YES, unlike some Soundware companies, this is fully allowed with Zero-G products. The samples have to be used within a musical context, however, and cannot be presented isolated or “solo’ed”. So, for the purposes of creating so called ‘library music’ clips or ‘production music’ clips intended for commercial exploitation, the Zero-G sound samples may be used ‘in combination’ within musical compositions. For such usage, any rhythm loop samples (which Zero-G regards as being musical clips in themselves) must also be combined with other types of samples or sounds to effectively form a new composition, rather than simply being looped. Is it OK to loan the sample library to a friend to check it out as long as I bought it? NO, please don’t let your copy out of your possession. Instead, show them the sounds in person. Can I post my favourite Zero-G sounds to people or sites on the Internet? NO, but you’re welcome to comment on them! All forms of user copying and distribution are prohibited. Is it OK to sell the sample library 'used' to someone else if I’m finished with the project that I needed it for? NO, this is VERY IMPORTANT. Unlike your musical gear or even software, you can’t give away or sell the sample library 'second hand' to someone else - YOU DIDN’T PURCHASE THE SAMPLE LIBRARY ITSELF, YOU PURCHASED A LICENSE TO USE OUR SOUND RECORDINGS IN YOUR MUSIC. The sample library download (the file(s) you downloaded when you purchased a particular Zero-G downloadable sample library) is merely the container of the sounds we licensed to you. The license you bought is not transferable to another person. When there is a demo song accompanying the sample library, can I use it? NO, these are the only samples included with the products that you cannot use, since they’re for demonstration purposes only. As a freelance sound designer, can I put custom compilation discs together which include Zero-G sounds for my composer clients? NO, not unless they already own the original Zero-G products. Remember that each person who uses the sounds MUST have a license to use them. Otherwise, they can get in serious legal trouble. Is there any limit to how often or how long I can use these samples in my music? NO, you’re free to use them in as many musical recordings as you want. We hope that you find them inspiring and useful for many years to come! Why is all this so important? Basically, if you respect our work by purchasing the sounds, we’ll be able to make more exciting products. You may also be asked some of these same questions by people who are contracting your services and this information can protect you and your clients from potential misuse of Zero- G sounds. You can avoid legal hassles if you use this product properly.
