With the release of MPC2000 Snacks From Mars, we invited producers from all over the world to take part in a contest: whoever produces the best track using only these samples for their drums will win an MPC2000XL. Ultimately we received over 600 submissions and decided to create an album with the standouts. 

Read each track description for info on how the song was made, in the producer's own words.

thanks to Teddy from Samples From Mars for always great sounds and reminding us where we all stem from....and for urging us to share.

Tomorrow's World (Original Mix)

Track synths and non-drum instruments all produced with the one n' only #KAWAIIDREAMSFROMMARS library. Drum sounds could've also easily been achieved with another #SAMPLESFROMMARS library, unfortunately, at the time of production ((1983) just kidding) this was logistically impossible.

Picking Up Sounds

Made specifically for the Samples from Mars competition.

A dungeon synth and drum and bass/jungle track...

Made entirely in Sunvox using only the samples provided in the SFM kawaii dreams pack run through internal sunvox effects (clip distortion, echo, reverb, and eq). Drums are made from the SFM mpc3000 snacks sample pack, a few Korg congas, and custom made breakbeats programmed in the style of 90s jungle. 

It's something a little different. 

Enjoy!

Zachariah Zoske is a beatmaker, producer, singer/songwriter from Fort Wayne, Indiana.

On producing this track:

"I loaded the MPC2000 samples onto an Ableton drum rack and programmed a pretty basic drum pattern and spiced it up with the beat repeater plugin to add some swing to the pocket. From there, I threw down a bass line and the rest of the instrumentation sort of just fell into place. I freestyled vocal melodies until I found something I liked and then spent an evening coming up with the lyrics."

HONORABLE MENTION: I Want That MPC so bad - Zaspéro

Blanax is an Electronic music producer / audio engineer based in Romania/Europe

On producing this track:

" I used Ableton Live and a recently purchased Push2 Controller, basically following the learning curve of the Push2. I started with programming the drums pattern,using the MPC2000 Snacks From Mars, which made me super inspired, afterwards adding various chords, bits and pieces, mostly using Ableton's Simpler device and stock effects (reverbs, delays, autopan). After I had all tracks coming together, I started arranging, automating stuff and mixing."

Ethereal is a producer based in Poland - making a wide variety of music, from trap to synth wave to metal.

On producing this tack:

"I used the samples from "Quarantine Club" subcategory. All of the sounds were put together in FL Studio, which is my DAW of choice. I experimented and tried to create something similar to 90's rave mixed with modern trap feeling, and I'm happy with the result."

2nd PLACE: No Point - Ethereal

pasha stclair is a Scottish groove enthusiast who lives I London.

On producing this track:

"The track was created with the Ableton (MPC2000 Snacks) live drum pack, with synths from my own sample pack - Hotwire Samples for Ableton Live - 4 modern synths sampled through a Manley Core Pre amp with Millard vintage valves Installed. (giving away my secret recipe here ;-). The synths in this track were a Dreadbox Abyss and a Boomstar SEM. Mixed and Mastered with UAD plugins."
