Black Octopus Sound alongside Basement Freaks is proud to Present Argonautica – Kemençe of the Black Sea. The most unique production from Basement Freaks so far. This pack features the sound of his ancestors in the traditional pear-shaped Kemençe, a 3-string bowed musical instrument from the Black Sea region. Basement Freaks fuses this traditional instrument from his origin, with contemporary, modern-day sounds, such as 808s and catchy rhythms to achieve his dream of making a one-of-a-kind sample pack!

A pre-eminent musical folk instrument of the Greeks of Pontus (now Türkiye), the Kemençe has a one-octave range and is usually tuned to perfect fourths which is its strength as it can be played both melodically and polyphonically.

The Pontic Kemençe gives this pack a traditional backbone alongside other instruments such as the Darbuka, Metal Guiro, Frame Drums, Drums, and multiple Percussions. Altogether giving you a distinct range of sounds to make your production stand out when using these unique, yet catchy instruments to form organic inspiration!

There are also loops, one-shots, licks, and fills inside from both computer-generated sounds and multiple modern instruments, which blend with the traditional instruments to give this pack a new modern flavor. The sound effects, Music loops, FX, and various one-shots include 808’s, subs, synths, textures, kicks, crashes, hi-hats, electric guitars, stabs, Risers, sweeps, and downshifters provide all the essential ingredients for some next-level, progressive production.

This pack has a taste of everything and these sounds are awesome for sprinkling throughout multiple genres to add a unique touch of inspiration to your productions, yet the Kemençe is the star, especially as samples are hard to come by from this rare instrument. You can feel Basement Freak’s passion oozing throughout this pack and can hear his strong ancestral ties to the region through the expertise of these samples. So add Basement Freak’s unique touch of tradition to your tracks with ‘Argonautica – Kemençe of the Black Sea’.

Toy Beats - Pharcyde's Mama

We created Tribute almost 6 years ago with two really close friends of ours from Germany called CMC&Silenta. Our long time friend and collaborator Steve Beddall jumped on the track and wrote the lyrics and played the lead guitar and the song quickly become a personal fav of ours. Somehow over the years it just never got finished for a proper release, but we kept performing it in live in sets around the country whenever we had Steve on tour with us. We even played it live with Steve at our first ever Coachella just to do something different and bring our own vibe. We asked Steve the other day what was going through his head 6 years ago when he sat down wrote these vocals and he said "I guess the lyrics are really just reflecting a feeling of pushing through adversity, maintaining a positive mental attitude and also feeling proud of accomplishments." When the quarantine hit, we finally opened it up and polished off the production, now feels like the right time for Tribute to finally get released. For us its a Tribute to everyone thats supported us in our journey to get us to where we are today ♥

The mighty DeiBeat is funkin' things up again, this time with his new single The Funky Sound. Setting the stage with an 808 kick, a chunky snare, melodic piano stabs, and the lead male vocal, DeiBeat rolls the track into the first break down where he layers in a female vocal and funky synth. At the drop we are introduced to a subsonic bass line that rides along with pulsating waves, accompanied by some new vocoded vocal elements. The drop on this jam is pure fire, another breakbeat masterpiece from a master of the genre.

The Funky Sound

This is the ULTIMATE Hip Hop sample pack with old school flare! It’s a combination of blazing vocals and booming drums, with musical compositions and loops.
