Happy & Tranquilo Mix

Struggling to get a full low-end and tired of DJs and labels rejecting your demos cause the mixdown makes them unplayable? Chances are it's probably your kick...

Digging for the perfect kick drum can take years. It's why the best producers use the same handful of kicks in all their chart-topping tracks. Using a kick that's even slightly less than perfect will ruin a track before it starts.

This is why our editorial team of professional producers have meticulously curated a small collection of 50 kick drums we've used in some of the biggest tracks of our decade-long careers. Plus, they're all labeled by key, so you can drag and drop them right into your next track for a punchy and warm low end. No complex processing chains or convoluted layering.

Listen to some of these kicks in action through a quick demo mix of some of the top-performing tracks from Magnetic's managing editor, Will Vance (Spotify Linked Below)

50 Free Kick Drums! Underground Kicks Vol. 1 (Preview)

Sirius Syntoms is not supposed to be taken too serious, it’s a fun track that has the potential of making dancing people happy. 

I started working on this track in 2009, in between the sessions with Christabelle when we worked on Real Life Is No Cool. Although I almost finished it, it never got a release. I did play it live on a few occasions though, and thought it had some potential. Since 15 years this abandoned track has been in the back of my mind, and on the list of tracks-to-be-finished. Earlier this year I picked up the pieces, and finished the puzzle!


Sirius Syntoms is written & recorded in 2009 & 2024 in Kongens Gate and Wizards Bay Studios in Oslo/Holmsbu, Norway on real synthesizers & drum-machines (including Pearl & Simmons syntoms!). Cover artwork is made by myself on a vintage Remington typewriter, DIY-style. Mastering is done by Nick Terry @ Black Valley Studios in Oslo, Norway.

The live recording of my set closing the Anteroom for Snug, at Savage Hanoi on 18/1/25. This one has a lot of meaning to me, playing under my real name for the first time, vibing out with my fellow queers, friends and all. 

Grateful to have the chance to play longer. Have been embracing playing looser lately, going by feel and just having fun. 

Please enjoy x much love to Ouissam for having me, to all the dancers and friends on the floor, as well as the entire Snug, Savage and Peach teams <3

I've been DJing for over a decade now, and have been lucky to play a diverse range of events, set times, genres and crowds. I'm in it for the music, and the smile on people's face when a tune gets dropped that they didn't expect and gets em dancing. I love a boogie behind the decks just as much too!

I enjoy playing a broad chunk of the electronic music spectrum, and like to incorporate that diversity into my gigs, be it radio shows, extended bar sets, or late night club slots or an after-party sunrise session. Disco, House, Techno and Progressive make me smile the most!

A few highlights over the past few years events wise:
-Potato Head (SG)
-YES YOU (SG)
-Moontanned (SYD/MEL)
-WeLove (SYD)
-Cohibar (SYD)
-Crane Bar (SYD)
-Sydney Seaplanes (SYD)
-The Cidery (SYD)
-Something Else (SYD)
-House on the Harbour (Summit DJs - SYD)
-EGGWORM (JPN)
-Killing Time (MEL)
-T1000 Events (SYD)
-House Society (Host - Bondi Radio)
-The Dig (Orbital Radio - Host)

And had the pleasure of supporting/opening for some of these talented artists over the years:
-Matthias Meyer
-Retza
-Matt Sassari
-Eric Powell
-Dirty Doering
-Robbie Lowe
-Simon Caldwell
-Uone
-Nick Beringer
-Miguel Bastida
-Jason Chance
-Ramon Lopez
-Hernan Cattaneo

Looking forward to sharing a tune and a boogie with you across the dancefloor!
