Drumcodes Vol. 1 packs in over 1900 dance sounds, mostly drums, including individual drum hits, TR-808 hits, BPM-marked Loops, FX shots, bass sounds. synth shots and sequences, and ambiences. Mutekki Media are a distributor of the Vengeance sampie CD series, which are synonymous with quality dance sounds, so fans will be glad to hear that the first of the Drumcodes series is of an equally lofty standard. Every sound seems to be about as tight bright and punchy as possible. Even the 8-bit folder sports dozens of sounds that seem to just jump out at you.
