We are proud to present a Techno Masterclass featuring one of the genre’s greatest contributors -UMEK!
This legend that needs no introduction has welcomed us into his underground home studio to share his wealth of musical knowledge and production genius. We had high expectations for this course but the Slovenian Techno don exceeded that by miles —producing 5+ hours of a step by step production tutorial, displaying exactly what makes him tick and how he writes his infamous records.
A DJ and a producer with more than 20 years experience of performing all over the world — from dark underground clubs in Berlin to the mammoth stages of EDC Las Vegas. UMEK has the international touring experience that most DJs dream of, playing his energetic sets on every continent. With this intense and demanding schedule, sometimes there is no choice but to work on music thousands of feet in the air. And this is exactly what he does, preparing his guaranteed club weapons for labels like Toolroom, Intec, Spinnin’, Great Stuff or for his own imprint 1605.
This course illustrates all of the skills that any budding Tech House & Techno producer needs to master their craft and create powerful ideas directly from their laptops.
UMEK walks us through his style of dance music production from top to bottom. Everything from pinpointing the right samples, to processing & arranging drums, percussion, bass, making melodies, filtering, EQing, creative & efficient ways to use vocals & effects, bussing, and even mixing & mastering. Providing you with the essential techniques you need to make a record from scratch that will tear the roof off the dance floor and catch the attention of top tier labels around the world.
The ocean is calming the nerves as the light cool breeze pours through the cracks of the studio window. You take a deep breath and then a drink of your warm tea and notice the clock strikes midnight and that tingle goes down your spine. It’s at that very moment you realize it’s time to put in that warm fuzzy Lo-Fi Piano melody, giving the song exactly what it needed.
With Midnight Breeze – Lo-Fi Piano, you will be doing this and so much more! Let the smooth sound of the pianos take over the vibe or inject some nice soothing atmospheres to carry the emotions! Inside this brilliantly crafted pack is also vocal cuts, drum loops and smooth bass shots, giving you all the elements you need to make your latest Lo-Fi Chill or Hip Hop track!
All the piano’s were hand performed and recorded by a live musician that is top of the game. Then they were processed to give you both dusty and dirty or clean and elegant styles for you to choose from. The piano lines were all inspired by Studio Ghibli movie soundtracks and the endless stream of ChilledCow.
So what are you waiting for? Take another sip of that tea and drop in on the beat with Midnight Breeze – Lo-Fi Piano today – or tonight!

We proudly present Late Night Electronic – a soul-soothing collection of atmospheric brilliance laden with Drums, Bass, Melody Loops and enough sample fodder to build epic Electronica, produced by rapidly rising star Bearcubs.
With two singles and two highly acclaimed EPs (‘Chroma’ and ‘Underwaterfall’) that have seen him heavily championed by the likes of Annie Mac, MistaJam and Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1, Bearcubs has also been praised for his talent by respected tastemakers such as Mixmag, The Fader and i-D, among others.
Over the past 3 years, Bearcubs has honed in on a distinctly unique blend of emotive electronic music, future garage and lo-fi house music in his meticulously crafted sound palette, a huge selection of which is available here 100% royalty free and ready to bring luxuriance and depth to your next ambient track.
Late Night Electronic comes with over 1GB of content, with loops, one shots and sampler patches that display a staggering amount of creativity and inspiration. The processing of the sounds is focused on creating sonic character by driving and saturating the sounds and not over-Eqing.
Inside the collection you will find 221 loops with warm and fat analogue sounds from vintage gear including the Korg Poly 61 synth, 808 and 909 all recorded to tape to add to character in keeping with the Lo-Fi aesthetic. The drum loops cover a wide range from Garage, Footwork, Reggaton, House and Trap and are loaded with plenty of funky swing and groove.
264 one shots back up the loops section and Include kicks, snares, hats, synth hits, bass hits, FX and more, all ready to be placed into your next track for that trademark ethereal Bearcubs sound. Each hit has also been carefully mapped to one of 83 soft sampler patches (for NNXT, Halion, EXS24, SFZ and Kontakt), ready to jam out on your favoured MIDI keyboard in a moment’s notice. Inspiration never came so quickly.
At tempos from 85-140bpm, Bearcubs’ Late Night Electronic will prove ideal for Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Downtempo, Ambient, Lo-Fi, Chillstep and other musicality-centric genres.
“The concept for the pack was to create something that took the sounds and tastes of my own Bearcubs project and to expand on them, blending the genres of Future Bass & R’n’B, Electronic and experimental dance music. The Influences for the pack range from modern pop/electronic producers such as Flume, Cashmere Cat, Mura Masa to more underground sounding producers like Shlohmo, George Fitzgerald and Lapalux. Most of the sounds in the pack lean towards a darker, moodier vibe, something for late night listening or to be played in clubs. I hope this pack will inspire people to create and to experiment with new, perhaps slightly stranger sounds. I hope you enjoy the collection Bearcubs ”
