DIGITALO DISCO Prime Loops


WAV / Ableton / Apple £17.95


VERDICT 8/10


Italo, nu, electro, modern, Balearic… just a few of the disco subgenres to have developed since its birth during the ‘70s. Here we present to you a modern take on the sounds that make the music, but with over 200 loops at your fi ngertips you will fi nd all manner of styles and nuances covered within the folders of Digitalo Disco. From the fl oors of Studio 54 to the future sounds of 2011, the separate drum, synth and bass loops can be easily pieced together in your DAW of


choice. For the initiated, the loops serve as great inspiration for developing your own track parts alongside those provided and you could also chop up the existing 2/4/8 bar pieces to create your own. The additional drum one-shots also mean that the programmers among you can set about developing your own disco infused beats to breathe life into your latest production.


The (often overlooked) benefi t of using loops is that a lot of the technical side of production has already been done, leaving you with more time to focus on developing your idea and perfecting your arrangement. These sounds are screaming out for an uplifting vocal top line, so call your nearest diva and tell her to clear her diary for the next few days. You’re about to uncover the retro sound of now.
