What do Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Cardi B and Lil' Wayne all have in common?... Wesley Theory

Merging the sound of funk, soul and alternative - Wesley Theory: Hip-Hop & Soul Stacks offers a collection of expertly recorded live musical arrangements, stacks, drum hits and one-shots aimed at creating an open sonic canvas for the beat producer in mind.

About the Pack

Wesley Theory: Hip-Hop & Soul Stacks was recorded at the legendary United Recording, Studio A, featuring their iconic 72 input Focusrite Console. The centerpiece of the control room is a custom-built Neve 68 input 8068/8088 console and a 10 input Neve BCM 10 with original 1073 mic-pre EQ’s to bring the full studio experience. The sounds in this collection were mixed by Capitol Studios resident mixing engineer, Chandler harrod - delicately adding analogue flavour to the sounds while leaving dynamic and sonic headroom for the end user to further manipulate, rework and flip the sounds.

With the highly acllaimed Wesley Theory at the forefront of this collection and as Kendrick Lamar’s band, no expense was spared at capturing a unique sound. Made up of Tony ‘Tony Chicago’ Russell, Rico Nichols, and ‘Freaky’ Rob Gueringer, Wesley Theory are known for their roots as Chicago and Los Angeles musicians.
