Here we're turning up the temperature and easing down the stress levels by bringing you a collection of chilled-out Balearic bliss samples. This is the sound of an Ibizan sunrise...

What you need to know

The samples are split into four folders, each of which contains a construction kit of samples at a defined tempo (100, 105, 125 and 135bpm). As well as loops, each kit also contains hits and multisamples.

All the hits and kits are supplied as 24-bit WAV files so can be imported directly into your DAW or sampler of choice. Because they're royalty-free, you're welcome to use the samples in your music in any way you like - all we ask is that you don't re-distribute them.

The Balearic bliss samples are supplied in a zip file, so you'll need to extract them before you can see them. Enjoy!
