Sunset Electronica by Audio News Room

Sunset Electronica is a hazy, indie-electronic/guitar sample pack. While still vaguely beachy in vibe, many of these loops are a bit more dark and melancholy than your standard ‘nu disco plus guitar' set of samples. Tempos range from 98 to 130 BPM.

The Bass Loops involve a healthy assortment of natural-ish sounding bass guitar, upright bass, and synths. They all support a fair amount of midrange as well – allowing them to cut through the mix even in less than ideal listening environments (e.g. laptop speakers).

The drum samples in this pack pack a lot of whallop. The kicks are very punchy while still sounding natural, and the snares and other percussive elements largely sound like they were actually played on real drumset – the perfect feel for combining synths and guitars. Even rhythmically, many of these drum loops have a lot of fun syncopation going on that does will to create tension and energy.
ModeAudio has even included a percussion folder with an variety of shakers, bells, marimbas and more for a bit of added high frequency rhythmic texture.

The guitar loops are a combination of washy, heavy, and funky. They've included both the dry and wet versions in addition to guitar tail samples for a natural fade at the end of each loop.
All loops are labeled by tempo and key, and many of the guitar loops have additional helpful descriptor categories such as Arp, Chords, Lead, Riff. The processing on the wet (FX) guitar samples is very well done by and large, delivering an airy yet powerful tone.

Synths & Instrumental Loops contain synth leads, pads, harps, Rhodes, many of which sound fantastic. Many of the riffs and chords the Rhodes plays are very funky and groovey, whereas the harps manage to deliver eerie melodies with a gorgeous sheen. Synth and pads can be likened to deep house and nu disco sound design, though I'm not altogether sold on one or two of the melodies.

This pack is ideal for producers seeking realistic guitars and a drum kit that is both natural and punchy. Relevant genres include: indie-electronic, minimal, house, and hip hop.
