Well, the title of this article pretty much sums it up nicely.. Simteks drops demo tune to show off the massiveness that is the ‘StrangeFlow and Simteks Present… North Korean Neuro Bass Bombz From Outer Space,” – a sample pack filled with tons of electrified and funktastic beat, bass, and one shot drum samples!! The entire kit, including EVERYTHING in the package, weighs in at around 450 MB… which is pretty fucking hefty.. Anytime you can get close to half a gigs worth of usable audio material (much of which can be used to create music in the style of Opiuo, Tipper, or KOAN Sound) and only pay $20 USD, you pretty much have to consider it.
Here’s the incredible demo tune, below:
Below is the sample pack that Simteks used (and helped CREATE!) to make his demo that you’re likely listening to right now in that soundcloud widget above. All the samples are in WAV format, and for specific details, click the image below!
Yep, you heard correct! The illustrious Simteks (who not only mods GlitchHopForum.com but also invented SimteksMusic.com) has teamed up with StrangeFlow (creator of Bassadelic, and inventor of many funky glitch hoppy bass gems) to give the world something truly special.
So, the story goes like this… Strange and Sims journeyed to East Asia, specifically, to North Korea. Why? In search of bass bombz, of course! I can’t legally say that these two are spies, but… well… they’re spies… space-spies…
They captured the bass bombz, and as it turns out they’re not weapons of mass destruction, they’re weapons of mass neuro-tastic funkgasmic bass! And They want to offer them, now, to the public!

Question: Who is responsible for this filth?
Answer: Simteks and StrangeFlow, champions of music production and music blogging!
We have teamed up, in this most-unholiest of sample products, North Korean Neuro Bass Bombz From Outer Space!
Simteks is known for his incredible music production website (SimteksMusic.com) as well as for his high-powered bass-killing electronic music – and for his skills in the field of audio
mastering. StrangeFlow is known for his funkified and forward-thinking electronic music, as well as for his website (Bassadelic.com) a blog for music producers.
The two teamed up to put these North Korean Neuro Bass Bombz into a series of .WAV files, and these samples are ready to be plugged into your DAW immediately, and shoot insane bass-fire
out onto your dancefloor!
It was our mission to capture a specific sound of modern electronic music… something on the funkier and bass-heavy side of things, including bass riffs and sustains with oscillations, frequency changes and overal sound progressions typical to much of what is considered the,neuro sound.
We have also taken great influence from many artists, including KOAN Sound and Opiuo, just to name a couple. We have nothing but props for these musicians, and for all musicians who
continue to push the boundaries and exptectations of music and sound!
We have added a number of beats and drum samples, as well. All the beats, as well as the bass loops and riffs, are in the 100 BPM to 106 BPM range, allowing the producer the ability to
create funky / neuro midtempo grooves as quickly as possible. Though, it should be noted that you can, of course, speed up the tempos when using these loops, if you want to, and that 100 to 106 BPM is merely the speed at which these sounds were recorded at, and you will find that most of them sound best when played closer to their original tempo (or faster).
In addition to everything else, a number of bass one-shots have been added which are solid and easy to use in production.
We have included some bonus material, as well, which is mostly unrelated to the neuro theme of this package, though these extra samples can be used however you see fit.
These are all .WAV samples, and are compatible with all major devices that allow for use of .WAV files.
There’s nothing else quite like this sample pack out there, and we really hope you enjoy these samples and find them useful!
So how much is this incredible fucking sample pack, StrangeFlow and Simteks?!! We Need to KNOW!
You can pick this thing up for a mere 20 dollars USD.
In case you’re asking, “SIMTEKS, STRANGEFLOW! This all sounds too good to be true but.. wait, what do you mean by ‘neuro’ exactly? Can you give me an example of a song that already exists that reflects the funky/neuro/midtempo – ish bassy electronic aesthetic you guys were going for?”
OF COURSE! Here, listen to some to these sounds below, and you’ll get an idea of what we mean when we’re talking about the neurofunk / bassy midtempo electronic stuff…
Well, its here: a complete Bassadelic-rinsedown of the classic 909 drum machine. This package gives you 170 Tr-909 drum samples (as well as 30 funky snares) that are ready for your mixes. Not just choppy, ear-pinching cymbal drums and snares without reverb, no! You can add what affects you need to on top of these sounds, but they have already been manipulated, lightly or moderately saturated in many cases, many have been lightly amped, reverb added, and limited – these 170 samples have been affected with the (MODERN) electronic musician in mind… It is easier to use these 909 samples in your mixes than it would be to use the actual machine.
This package contains 170 one-shot drum samples (as well as 30 extra / original funky snares, as a free gift).
OH SNIPPITY SNAP, THIS WHOLE THING IS 5 BUCKS!
This is a comprehensive package of slightly processed Roland TR-909 drum machine one-shot samples. These samples have received the Bassadelic rinsedown, which means they have been touched up and manipulated to make them better fit for beat-making and electronic music production.
I did this because although I enjoy the sound of the raw 909 drums, I find that I almost always needed to process the samples when using them digitally, in a song or a rhythm. So, I decided to process all the 909 drums individually and add slight touch-ups, including slight amplification, mild saturation, reverb, limiting, and a number of other subtle effects that help these drums get ready for a new beat, but not mastered or overly-processed to the point where they are unrecognizable as what people expect from that incredible 909 drum box sound!
I personally think the best processing was done with the cymbals; I was able to smooth them out a little and give them a very nice, lush reverb quality, but still kept them as punchy as they needed to be. Also, the handclaps were effected, noticeably more than some of the other samples. As well, claps are one of my favorite samples to work with, so I went to town manipulating them in different variations, and I added a few of these ‘extra’ claps in a marked folder in addition to the two primary clap samples found in the TR909 drum machine.
So, I hope these samples are of some benefit to you. I plan to release mor drum kits and sample packs, I’m very interested in the older “retro” drum sounds, especially. I’m a big fan of the disco-ish Roland TR-66, a precursor to the TR-909, so stay tuned for that, which should be coming up in the months ahead!
Also, I’d like to point out that I love taking requests for samples and sample packs, so if you have an idea, let me know!

Special thanks goes to Ambrose Holiday, who was kind enough to work on the
graphic design for the cover of this sample pack. He’s a super talented and
innovative designer, and we’re very lucky to be able to work with him and
showcase his talents on one of our products! Thanks again, Ambrose!

You can use these samples in any way you choose, commercially or privately, and the only thing you can NOT do is resell this package or rename it and sell it later. But other than these obvious exceptions, you can do pretty much whatever you wish! Have fun! Make some real dope tunes with these fun
samples!
Well, it has certainly been a minute. I’ve just been off for a long holiday, and I got to go to Resolution, in Seattle, on New Year’s Eve. It was a lot of fun, and I ran into all my Seattle raver buddies there, as well! We all had a great time watching and dancing with ten thousand others in a warehouse to artists such as Rusko and UZ. It was so crowded and tightly packed near the stage as Rusko screamed, in his always-more-British-than-you-expected, “Are you ready to say ‘fuck off’ 2012?!” The crowd screamed as balloons fell from the ceiling and bass was strangling all of us half to death, and some weird hyper-confetti machine was pumping and shooting, and I noticed that everyone around me was covering their eyes at that point, to avoid that irritating feeling of getting confetti shot into your eyes. Ha.
It was an incredible night, and I danced my ass off. The only downside to the night was the fact that I didn’t know how the hell to get back to the light-rail after the show (everyone kept giving different directions) and the cab lines were predictably busy, so I was scrambling to figure out how to get home, as I lived a good deal further south than any of my friends that had driven there.. I couldn’t backtrack easily to the light rail either, because part of the road was blocked off, which made things a little harder. Luckily, though, an Orange Cab drove by and I waved him down, and I got a ride down near Burien. Wat waaat!
So, what else is new? I’ve been working on a good deal of sample packs, and an ebook as well. I’m going to be doing more tutorials (and Yuri is planning to change the landscape of music (again) with his radical grooves and groundbreaking how-to’s)… This blog known as Bassadelic is getting into the second half of its first year, and I’ve figured out a lot of what people have to expect from this site, what I want to do with the site; what works and what doesn’t. So that’s good.
Also, I’ve been packing up my stuff, and preparing to move to California next week. I’m moving to Mountain View, and very excited about it, too! I’ll have to keep you guys posted, as I’m constantly getting texts and emails, 24-7, asking me if I’m going to bring the website with me to California; …I’m not quite sure I understand the premise of the question, however. California also has an internet, so alls’ahs’gots to do is convert from the Grungeweb (Seattle’s internet) to the one in California. Shouldn’t take too much work.
The first post (after this ‘fuck off 2012′ post) is for a 909 pack I’ve just recently finished. Ambrose Holiday, a graphic designing wizard, had created the cover art, which I am thrilled about. More about that sample pack in a little bit, but damn, it’s a good one. Especially the cymbal drums!! I always find myself irritated as fuck with conventional drum box cymbal drums. So noisy they hurt my ears, no sustain, and just kind of cheesy. I leveled them out and fixed ’em up, giving them the old Bassadelic rinsedown. But, as I said, mmore on that in a little bit…
Happy New Year! Expect HUGE things, from this site but also from yourself!
So, people seemed to enjoy another post I did on Bassadelic (“Debruit is a Motherfucking Champion”) so I thought I’d do another one. This time, it’s Kenlo Craqnuques. This guy makes some of the best breaks, period.
I have been a fan of his for awhile now, and I always made sure to drop some dope Kenlo gems into my sets when I hosted the Wonky Underground last year. If you’re a fan of wonky music, downtempo, hip hop, or just good ol’ sample-heavy grooves, you might want to check this dude out.
His stuff reminds me of Dilla. Oh, and also, you can a lot of his stuff for FREE… Those two points alone should be enough to get a lot of folks interested, but if not, I’ll continue! :) His mixtapes are dope as fuck, and, earlier this year, he came out with an official release, ‘Cailloux Germés’, which you can download here for free.
I found the following write up over at the Error Broadcast site which is where he’s releasing his first official album….
“From across the big waters we are delighted to welcome KenLo Craqnuques in the bosom of the Error Broadcast family. This Africa-born, Montreal-based beat conductor blessed the scene with five beat tapes and just recently debuted under his all-digital moniker Qwerty Musique. He has two tapes with fellow producer Vlooper and kicks a rhyme every once a while. “Cailloux Germés” is the first official KenLo Craqnuques release.
“Stand out amongst the flood of new producers, KenLo Craqnuques manages to inject a huge amount of classic Soul and Boom Bap Rap into his hypermodern beats. His songs breathe the history of Black Music without looking back. What has been true ever since “Noir” is eventually obvious on “Cailloux Germés”: the Craqnuques music pushes the borders of 21. Century beat music. Real big.”
– Error Broadcast
The one I posted above is called, “Copporn,” and its from his Noir and it is definitely one of my favorites. I’ve found that I can listen to Kenlo’s grooves in a variety of situations. Its great when you’re chilling with your friends; its great when you’re by yourself. It’s good when you’re trying to relax, and even better when you’re already chill. Basically, its always good.
The three tunes in the youtube video above are from, ‘Bleu,’ and they are, “Wong”, “Wheels” & “Crizzack” and I think “Wheels” is, so far, my favorite.
Some of these beat tapes are great, and, in my opinion, have an aesthetic that reminds me of something visual… When I listen to to a beat tape by Kenlo, the tracks feel like moments that have been painted on a canvas. You enjoy each one, and then, as soon as the moment and the groove is established, the next song comes in. I like that. If any track you’re enjoying isn’t long enough, you just play it again. I’ve played some of these over and over and over again – unlike the other 90% of musicians on the planet, Kenlo makes an instrumental that is NEVER too long. Ever.
This one’s called, “Floorscraper,” from ‘Orange’. Also an incredible tune to set the vibe.
So, about that official album, ‘Cailloux Germés’, you can listen to it below, and download it for free, and if you dig it, I recommend dropping the dude a couple bucks so that he can keep banging out some of the dopest breaks I’ve ever heard! Put this album on at a party and just wait for people to ask, “What is this? It’s fucking good!”
So that’s about it for now. Kenlo Craqnuques is definitely a motherfucking champion, and his music deserves a lot more hype. I hope you enjoyed some of these beats. Just writing this post was very enjoyable for me! :)
Oh, yes, and before I go, let me continue the tradition I started with the other “..Is A Motherfucking Champion” article, and put a picture of a pin-up model holding onto a record, into this article, before I leave. Enjoy.
