Native Instruments Crate Cuts [AKAI]

The iconic sound of sample-driven hip hop. Includes original recordings chopped and sampled through vintage gear.

CRATE CUTS captures the unmistakable sound of days spent diving through stacks of forgotten vinyl, sampling with classic gear, and the loose, anything-goes production ethic pioneered by iconic beatmakers like J Dilla, Madlib, and MF Doom. Influenced by the buried treasure found in soul, jazz, and funk bins in record stores all over the world, it’s packed with original, royalty-free recordings on reel-to-reel tape, sampled using iconic gear, and chopped into custom kits along with punchy percussion, synths, and bass from MASSIVE and MONARK.
