You just can’t avoid Howie B’s grooves. Having spent the last four decades producing some of the best known bands in the world, including U2 and Bjork, the Scottish producer has also DJed across the world and created original music for brands including Hugo Boss, Range Rover and Maserati.

Now, for his first ever Loopcloud pack, ‘Howie B Drops Some Trip Hop’, the legendary producer and curator revisits his vital role in developing the sound of hugely influential artists such as Massive Attack and Goldie. Rooted in the spirit of nineties Soundsystem culture, but always sounding futuristic and forward thinking, ‘Howie B Drops Some Trip Hop’ invites you to take the lead from its upfront title and infuse your project with Howie’s distinctive sonics.

Produced in collaboration with renowned bass player Tristan Bres and versatile drummer Toma, ‘Howie B Drops Some Trip Hop’ stays true to Howie’s warm, experimental production style, with several loose and easy live jams then reworked through in the studio with additional treated keyboards and sonic experimentation. The resulting pack is layered with different flavours, from moody electronic bass to upbeat keys, mixing brass, wooden percussion, shakers and triangle.

The result is a diverse pack reflecting the playful and wide-ranging styles of one of the best respected producers in the world, overflowing with inspiration for any Loopcloud user.
