Hardcore Breakbeat Action | Remix Magazine
Back to Hardcore Breakbeat Action product detailsDo sharp analog synths, swampy bass sounds and frenetic drum programming say hardcore to you? How about four CDs (more than a gigabyte worth) of smack-your-speaker-up rhythms and enough filter gymnastics to crane the neck of any dance-music snob? Although the word hardcore can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people, Hardcore Breakbeat Action (which comprises two audio CDs and two WAV-file CDs) delivers hundreds of loops and one-shot samples that will dirty up any production. Derivatively titled loops, such as the head-noddin' groove of "Method Machine Mix" and the gnarly synth-spanking "Rezanator Mix," elude to a couple of HBA producers' influences- take a guess. With the fierce drum programming of "Dangerous Place" and the trance-influenced drum 'n' bass of "Hardcore Mix" or "Drumbeat Goes," you have enough smashed-up drum patterns for a year's worth of white labels. All loops come with construction kits and their corresponding one-shot drum hits and samples, which make mixing-and-matching a snap, Big Fish Audio (producers of Breakbeat 1, 2, and 3) has restated its love of beat-mincing with this darker, edgier release- a cry to the club crawler.
