FORMAT: REPRO
STYLE: DRUM & BASS / RAVE / TECHNO

For the fifth entry in our Future Sound of Retro series, we give an analog-futuristic treatment to one of our favourite genres: Drum and Bass. Drums playing at hysterical speeds, combined with deep basses and smooth pads.

While the original genre relied heavy on sampled material, we decided to go full out analog making everything with one synthesizer: the Repro-5. From drums and sub basses, to modulated pads all the way to modern wub-wubs.

"classic drum & bass mixed with futuristic wub-wubs & wobbles."

From a stylistic evolution point of view, one could say this soundset is the logical continuation of Future Sound of Retro Underground, with both soundsets having a foot in the Rave-culture of the time.

In contrast to the other soundsets in the Future Sound of Retro series, this one only focuses on the Repro-5 synthesizer, and have no presets for Repro-1. The reason for leaving Repro-1 was because when it comes to distortion, Repro-5 really make a sound feel like being on fire thanks to its incredible distortion section plus the wonderfully noisy tape saturator.
