With dubstep, rock, and EDM at the core of their sound, Modestep has garnered an acclaimed reputation and a loyal fanbase through both their innovative live show and their studio albums and EPs.
Can you tell us more about the motivation behind this sample pack? Are you working on anything else at the moment?
After years of delivering mainly dubstep-oriented sample packs to splice, I've wanted to showcase some drum & bass sounds in this new pack. Expect to hear lots of new Modestep d&b very soon.

What can creators expect to get inside this pack?
The pack is a collection of heavy bass sounds that are applicable to all heavy bass genres. High energy, pre-mixed and ready to drop into your project files to help you bring your tracks to life, quickly. Alongside a stockpile of pre-made loops, there is a vast library of one-shot sounds that I have been using as my personal library for the past few years. It has everything you need.

Is there anything you learned or did differently with the production of this pack?
One new technique I learned and applied for this pack was the creation of original-sounding breaks. I re-made a ton of famous breaks such as the Amen and Hotcakes breaks at their original tempos and sped them up to give an authentic sound. These are some of the best breaks I've used in my tracks and I'm really happy with the outcome. I hope everyone finds them as useful as I have!
