After last week's foray into the world of minimal house, this edition of SampleRadar is tackling its more garish and brasher brother: electro.

Massive in its own right and currently influencing pop music around the globe, this is very much the sound of now.

What you need to know

The samples are supplied into eight folders, with each one labelled according to its contents: Bass loops, Beats, Drum hits, FX, Guitar chunks, Guitar loops, Processed beats and Synth riffs.

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