ALREADY a globally recognised phenomenon
in electronic music, the reach of Afro house
keeps expanding, just as its sounds keep
diversifying. Off ering a formidable snapshot
for all producers, Beatport Sounds’ latest
collaboration with Kemet Soul Records leans
into the pulsating, hypnotic advantages of
a style that has international dancefl oors in
raptures.
Featuring all the necessary elements to weave
together your own tapestry of Afro house,
deep basslines are of course featured in
abundance, the essential, speaker-shaking bed
of any notable Afro house hit. From there, the
possibilities for layered and interlocking rhythms
are endless. Synths, arps and marimbas carry
an authentic fl avour, and can even be used for
more organic house; although the generous
285MB sample pack is delivered at an
accessible 121bpm, any genre benefi ts from
the soul and melody of Afro house.
Indeed, whether you’re specialising in strong
rhythm tracks perfect for MCs or emotional,
big-room moments that you might fi nd in a
Black Coff ee set this summer in Ibiza, Beatport
Sounds’ ‘Afro House’ has the goods. Just don’t
forget to add a sleigh bell for good luck.
