"KICK FREE Revolution Vol. 1" is a well-constructed and innovative collection of usable and inspirational samples by German producer Oliver Schmitt. It’s fresh and original. Highly recommended!"

For the better part of the last decade Ernesto van der Meij & Edwin Koelewijn (better known to the community at large as Ernesto vs. Bastian) have been crafting their very own electronic dance formula. In that time the Dutch duo have propelled themselves to the forefront of trance (& dance) culture, through stellar productions, revered remixes and show-stealing DJ performances. With Ernesto at the deck controls and Bastian the master studio-head, together they form a perfect musical symbiosis. With club hits like ‘Who’s The Starter’, ‘Stranger In Paradise’ and ‘Thrill’ and all-out anthem-calibre works like ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ in their discography, they’ve brought roadblock queues to dancefloors the world over.


"The Sound Of Revolution Series are not only one of the biggest and diverse sample packages available at the moment, but most important is that they are unbelievable usable! Looking for a fresh sounding loops for EDM or any other musicstyle...you got it. Looking for a tight fitting bass sound...no problem. At the moment we are working on a couple of new Ernesto vs Bastian tracks and remixes and all we can say about that is that we used quite a bit of the massive sounds of SOR. Recommended! 5 STARS!"

Sound design whiz Oliver Schmitt returns to Mutekki Media, responding to user requests for more of the kick-free drum patterns that cropped up on his previous titles. The idea is that with very little low-end, these 680 dance-based loops are easy to integrate into your own drum mixes. All loops are at 127bpm, so it would seem the emphasis is on house music, and there are three categories: Experimental has strange loops with lots of quirky hits and FX; Main contains more typical loops, very up to date and easy to adapt to many styles; Perc covers more realistic percussion, such as congas and bongos. This title isn’t as exceptional as Schmitt’s previous output, but it is highly usable.
Rating: 8/10

"nice synthetic sounding [...] immense groovy [...] very varied [...] absolut inspiring and a must buy!"

"[...] Im Gegensatz zu den Vengeance-Libraries von Mutekki zeichnet sich Kick Free durch eine größere Formatvielfalt aus. Neben den WAV-Dateien in 24 Bit gibt es auch die Formate AIFF und REX sowie fertige Mappings für EXS24 und Kontakt. Kick Free Vol. 1 widmet sich nur einem Thema, dafür aber mit großer Aufmerksamkeit. Diese Fundgrube ist eine echte Empfehlung."

There are a lot of drum loop libraries that offer great drum patterns. They are useful, they sound full and are ready to use by themselves no doubt, but the problem sometimes is that it's hard to integrate them into your own drum mixes. Enter Kick Free Revolution Vol. 1 and 2, a collection of drum loops crafted with very little or minute low-end. The idea behind a kick free library is nothing new, yet it is clever. It's intended to give producers a mix and match option for building new and unique drum patterns.

The first volume includes 684 loops all recorded at 127 BPM. Most of them would be suitable for electronic music such as Techno and House, but depending on your creativity, you can use these sounds any way you see fit. The samples are broken down to three main categories: "Experimental" will give producers effects and "something different" sounds, "Main" contain samples that are more of your typical everyday loops and "Perc" would work perfectly if you need realistic percussion elements. While Vol. 1 is delivered in DVD disc format, Vol. 2 is a downloadable product at Sounds-of-Revolution and Sounds/To/Sample sites. Continuing where Vol.1 left off, this library of 611 loops has basically the same formula as the original but it includes 70 deep, round kicks as a bonus. Oliver Schmitt, the man behind SoR, has sprinkled this collection with more diverse-sounding materials than the the first one. You'll find a bunch of hi-hat patterns, 140 club-oriented sounds, tonal loops with 52 melodic beatlines and 100-plus glitched-out loops for experimental enthusiasts. They say that sequels are supposed to be better than the original, and Vol. 2 delivers. Although both libraries are kind of pricey, they are superbly programmed with many usable sounds.
