Don't take our word for it!


Yes thats right! If you think we are pulling your leg...listen to these guys! You may have seen our reviews here and there, and below are just a few of the great comments and reviews we have been receiving:



"there's some terrific stuff here..."

Bumper New releases!

Kabooom! What a month! We have been sent some amazing tracks using our sounds, and heard some very interesting success stories too using our loops, so well done on the airplay and keep up the good work there!

COMING SOON...



If you have'nt heard of Glitch-Hop yet you have now! Its a great new style of Hip Hop mixing Glitch Sounds such as circuit bending and Future FX, with hard hitting synthesised melodies and cutting glitched out drum loops. So, before the scene blows up (hopefully!) we have teamed up to produce this new release which contains 70 individual, bangin' drum loops that have been mashed, glitched out, dipped in mercury (lol) and then processed again for good measure! The result is a refreshing sound suite with hard-hitting, upfront hip hop drum loops with a twist on your average 808 patterns. Check this release in January 2009!





Tech House is blowing up across the globe, its mental and its here to stay! We love the jackin' rude quality that can be heard in todays clubs, from Tech to Electro and everything inbetween!
This pack has some brutal drum loops, produced by a new member of the team (Hi Scott) who is well known on the House & Garage Scene in the UK. This epic pack which contains over 100 drum loops & top loops will be available sooner than you remember to say "2009" when asked what date it is! So watch out...This one really is a killer!




House Guitar Loops Volume 1 & 2 will be available in Febuary, and boy have we got a treat coming your way with these badboys. From Luscious Latin Grooves to Funky Funkadelic Struts, Smooth Jazzy Chords to Trash Indie-Electro Filth, Clean Acoustic Jams to Sunsoaked Rhythms, we are extremely proud of this one and with its very diverse and pure sound range, you will find a huge range of styles here ready for the dancefloor....Febuary is only round the corner!

Something wicked this way comes.....

Its busy, busy, busy, here at Prime Loops HQ! Thats busy with a capital B! Talking of Capitals heres one for the dictionary: BREAKBEAT ELECTRONICA! What the monkey is that? (you may ask..) well...its the next installment in our big line-up of Nu-Era Sound Suites ready to break out of its cage and cause mass mayhem worldwide!

Check out the demo below for a tiny taster...





And also, you can Download Free Loops <<<< if you want!

What is this 'Breakbeat Electronica' you speak of? I hear you say in 'Ye Olde English Accent!' - The best way to describe this is quite simple, Electro meets Breakbeat, Minimal meets House and Glitch meets Tech! A sonic mashup of future Drum Loops to assault the senses! Breakbeat Electronica is the first from our ground-breaking 'Fusion' series, the first of its kind, (the new breed!) ehem..anyway, back to the Fusion Series, ok, so what is it man? (I hear you saying in a slighly unconvincing Jamaican accent!)



The Fusion series brings together genres in a cataclysmic mashup of spinetingling loops and samples bravely challenging genre specific sample packs head on! Breakbeat Electronica puts a tasty selection of styles into the mixing put and gives it an extra stir for good measure - with some interesting results! You can find out more about the fusion series here

We thought it was about time someone came along and mixed things up a bit, and will be delivering many more genre-defying sample packs in future to further wet your audio appetite and sonic taste buds! Breakbeat Electronica is to be released very soon...

What a month!

Yes! Its been nearly a month since we launched our website - and what an amazing few weeks its been! We are working hard behind the scenes working on some exiting new Sound Suites.....

COMING SOON...

Pure Ro
ck Guitar Loops

With over 130 inspiring Rock Loops recorded exclusively for Prime Loops courtesy of Tom Warner, an amazing talent (he had us all in-awe with his amazing skills! Awesome!) an extremely in-demand guitarist who has worked with Virgin Records, EMI, and toured with Adele to mention but a few! We have spent many hours recording and refining this release with a number of legendary guitars including Gibson 1976 Custom Les Paul, the infamous Fender Strat & more! Also in this up-coming release are a useful number of guitar effects including plucks, scrapes, twangs, screeches, and a great deal more! We are confident that producers from Dance to Hip Hop, Rock to Trip Hop will find an inspiring collection of riffs here that will form a solid basis for many a hit to come!


Moogalicious Funk Loops



We love the Moog Synthesizer series - absolutely love em'! They sounds so full, chunky and phat...and needless to say they are resposible for a massive ammount of releases....and big hits also!
We have put together a bumper package of nu vs. olskool, funked-out, hot loops played by keyboard wizzard, Moogmeister, Michael Evans (otherwise known as 'M Eezy) who has gone all out here - resulting in amazing content covering a large tempo range.
Needless to say those making hip hop to those making new-skool dance won't be dissapointed, these loops sound B.I.G....chunky, and downright 70s...which is great, slide these into the mix, cut them up, pitch them out, slide them around - for maximum funk factor! The loops range from synthetic brass progressions to warbling bass loops, screaching modulated leads to sparkling 70's licks, squelchy chords to synthesised mayhem....we love it!




OTHER RELEASES ON THE WAY....


We are working hard on 'Dirty South Synth Loops 2' after numorous requests from our customers to release a 2nd volume...so to all you Dirty South Cats - rest assured its well on its way, stay tuned!

Following our massive 'Dirty Electro Synth Loops' release, which has already seen some serious airtime, and continues to impress (even us! lol) we've been hard at work mastering 'Dirty Electro Bass Loops' which, as the titles suggests concentrates entirely on the dirtiest, filthiest bass progressions possible and we know you love it....its been created using some amazing synths and we can't wait until its finished so we can deliver its disgustingly filthy and electronically polished contents to all you bass-hungry electro house tech-heads out there! Check back on the news page anytime for updates on this release...

Many more releases are in the pipeline, but they are top secret (sssshhhhhhh!) for now...we have many producers, sound engineers, and tweaktastic audiofiles working round the clock to deliver the most up-to-date sounds of the moment with our ears close to the club speakers, in fact so close that one of us has actually ended up with tinnitus (believe it or not thats true!) So on a random note...take care of your ears...!!!

RECENT RELEASES



Dubstep Drum Loops

This ones getting a big response... thanks for all your positive emails guys - we are glad you like it! Dubstep is expanding about as quick as Gearge Bush's ego, so to catch up we though it was about time we released a sound suite that applauds the genre. Starting out in the UK, Dubstep is a relatively new genre with the likes of Benga and many others including Rusko (who went to the same school as the producer of this release!) taking this genre to a global scale, this collection, which is priced at £4.95 (around $9) contains 30 drum loops, each with their own unique character and a far step away from your average 'Kick, Snare, Hi Hat' drum loop, if you want to download some free drum loops from this release or listen to the demo, you can do so as quickly as you can click here (lol)

We now have well over 20 releases all of which are brand new - to view our full collection (all of which you can download 10-20 free loops/samples!) Click here!
