The sample pack we created for Hospital Records has just been released, so if you make music and you’re looking for a bit of inspiration head over to the Hospital Shop to buy the complete pack, or you can buy individual Apple Loops, Reason Refills and Ableton Live packs from the Loopmasters store.

Here’s a demo track to show what the samples sort of sound like…

Blu Mar Ten – Drum and Bass Vol.7 by loopmasters

This is what they say about it:

“This huge inspirational collection of single sounds, loops and fx includes uplifting pads, subsonic basses, submerged atmospheres, tribal breaks, imperial bells, pulsating pads, chilled strings, half time breaks, future breaks, growling hoover basses, complex percussion, and a huge array of instrument samples and Fx.

One Shots & Sampler Patches format includes all single (non-looping) sounds and sampler patches for Kontakt, Halion, NNXT, EXS24 soft samplers.

Buy the pack from the Hospital Records Shop.

The new compilation from Hospital Records, ‘Hospitality – Drum & Bass 2012′, is out today and features our track ‘Problem Child’.

‘Hospitality – Drum & Bass 2012′ comes as a 31-track mix CD or 31 unmixed tracks plus the mix as a digital download.

Buy direct from the Hospital Shop or iTunes.

New kid on the d&b block, Nixus, originally made this storming garage remix for our ‘Believe Me’ remix competition in 2010.
He’s brought it up to date for 2011 and we love it.
If you love it too then feel free to download it completely free here.

Blu Mar Ten – Believe Me (Nixus remix) (Free download) by Blu Mar Ten

You can find Nixus on Facebook, Twitter & Soundcloud, and see his recent releases on Regal Records here.

This track was originally released on Vibez Recordings back in 2006.

We’d like to give it away to raise money for The Mayhew Animal Home, which is an animal shelter very close to our hearts as we and our friends have adopted several cats from it.

The Mayhew is funded 100% through donations, so if you download the track please help out if you can by donating here.

Anyone who donates to the shelter will be able to download a full quality WAV copy of the track.

If you can’t or won’t donate you can still download an mp3 of the track here, but I’m pretty sure most of you can afford £2.

Established in 1886, The Mayhew is one of the busiest and most effective rescue centres in London, helping thousands of animals escape from a life of cruelty and neglect each year. They provide shelter and care for cats, dogs, rabbits and when the need arises, for a wide variety of other animals.

Our new album, ‘Love is the Devil’, is out now on vinyl, CD & mp3 in all good stores. Get it now and help us pay the studio rent and feed the cats.

If you buy the vinyl from www.blumarten.com/shop you’ll get the CD, all the mp3s and stickers included free of charge.
Even if you don’t play vinyl you can still stick it on your wall like I do.

You can see the full tracklists and get more info on the UKF Bass Culture site

The 2 CD & Download compilation features 41 of the most upfront and explosive tracks in bass music from scene stalwarts and emerging talent alike. With a tracklist that runs like a who’s who of the most exciting producers in the scene at the moment… From the synth heavy power of ‘Evelate’ by Gemini to Skizm’s earth-shattering remix of ‘Heavy Artillery’ and the technoid DnB of Blu Mar Ten & Insideinfo’s ‘Still The One’ there is a dizzying barrage of pure dancefloor destruction on offer. Whatever your poison, there is enough here to quench the thirst of even the most hungry bass fiends.
