Divided Souls Entertainment and Akai have once again partnered up to bring you their latest expansion aptly titled Dynamic Soul. This latest outing showcases a natural offshoot, the organic lineage to the rich history of Soul music. In recent years, R&B music has seen a bountiful resurgence by way of artists like Anderson .Paak, Kali Uchis, Solange, Bruno Mars, and many others, eschewing categorization in favour of timeless compositions. The lush arrangements, instrumentation, and an ever-present foot firmly planted in the past with the other pushing the boundaries forward are most reflective in the music, as well as this expansion. Dynamic Soul captures this essence with 40 kits packed with live guitars, bass, vintage keys and synths, allowing your creative capacity to find new heights. Soul music has proven itself timeless, and Dynamic Soul effortlessly moves across the various sub-genres with an ease that the end-user will find most appealing and creatively stimulating.

Akai Professional & 12 Bit Soul have teamed up to deliver the MPC Expansion DEFinitive 90s R&B . 90s R&B represents the rapid rise from genre music to mainstream cultural and commercial dominance over this transformative decade. Forever intertwined with the sounds of Rap/Hip-Hop, there isn’t one pervasive sound that defined the era, but more so an emphasis on eclectic style blending. A rapid parallel evolution in artistry and music technology ensued in a short period of time, propelling us on a journey from the organic dusty breaks of Golden Era Hip-Hop to New Jack Swing to iconoclasts like Sade coupled with the meteoric rise of the Dirty South, retrofitted Neo Soul stylings, and the arrival of the Shiny Suit Era, where Hip-Hop moguls and superstar divas were born. This expansion captures that moment in time as R&B continued its progression alongside Hip-Hop. - 1.59 GB of high quality sounds. -40 kits featuring 100+ 90s inspired composition loops and well over 500 one-shots sampling sounds and gear of that era: horns, piano, organ, keys, strings, synths, live bass, guitar, and dusty vinyl & crisp digital drums to represent the fast-evolving sound of the decade.
