Grooves, recipes and sounds by style. Each page plays every one of them and explains how it works.

Ambient drift 6 items · Free No drums at all. Long chords, a few bells and a lot of space. With only five notes in the scale, nothing can clash. Cyberpunk city 7 items · Free Growling bass, nervous arpeggios and drums that glitch. Rain on neon, and something is chasing you. Disco fever 6 items · Free The 1970s: four on the floor, an open hat that hisses on every offbeat, octave bass and strings that swoop. Funk workout 6 items · Free Everything is a drum, even the guitar. Land hard on beat one, then play with where everything else falls. House party 6 items · Free A kick on every beat, a clap on two and four, and everything else dancing in the gaps. Island rhythms 6 items · Free Dembow, clave and an offbeat skank: rhythms from the Caribbean that put the weight where you do not expect it. Jazz club 7 items · Free A ride cymbal that swings, a bass that walks and chords with extra notes. Written in double time: each bar here is two bars of jazz. Lo-fi afternoons 7 items · Free Sleepy drums, soft seventh chords and a bass that takes its time. Slow the tempo, add swing, and let it loop. Motown and soul 5 items · Free The 1960s: a snare on every beat, a tambourine that never rests and a bass line that is the real melody. Rock and roll diner 5 items · Free The 1950s: a shuffle beat, a boogie bass and the four chords every doo-wop song shares. Written in double time, so the swing falls where it should. Starter grooves 7 items · Free Three beats, three parts and a pad to get a loop going. Everything follows your project's key. Synthwave nights 7 items · Free A bass that never stops, big slow chords and an arpeggio on top. Drive at night, in 1984. Trap and 808s 6 items · Free Half time drums, busy hats and a sub bass that is a melody of its own. Dark, slow and heavy, at a fast tempo.
