PeteStrumentals 2

Pete Rock

Twenty tracks of masterfully chopped jazz and soul loops. A dusty, instrumental love letter to the golden age of the SP-1200 sampler.

It's like a masterclass in how to make a sampler breathe and sweat.

A sophisticated and soulful meditation on the enduring power of the perfect loop.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The heavy, off-kilter swing of the drums on 'Dilla Bounce' that feels like a physical nod to a fallen peer.
The way the lush, ethereal vocal sample on 'Heaven & Earth' floats above a surprisingly grounded bassline.
The sudden, sharp horn stabs on 'Play Yo Horn' that recall the peak energy of 90s New York production.
