The glory years of disco may have been in the late '70s and early '80s, but its dancefloor friendly sound has never really gone away.

These days, we have nu-disco, which takes inspiration from the past while having an upfront sound to please today's club-goers. And SampleRadar has the sonic tools you need to make it.

What you need to know

The samples are split into three tempo-labelled kits of loops 'n' lines, each of which contains drum, bass and guitar loops plus breaks, sweeps and drops.

All the samples 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 nu-disco samples are supplied in a zip file, so you'll need to extract them before you can see them. Enjoy!
