03In depth

Afro club sounds and rhythmic textures

The pack focuses on the drum and percussion side of Afro club music. Native Instruments says the sounds include infectious drums, percussive grooves and rhythmic textures drawn from the genres listed in the pack.

Because the material spans several related styles, it can serve as a starting point for kicks, claps, percussion loops and texture layers across a track. Producers working in gqom or kuduro rhythms will find the most direct fit, while Afro house and Afrobeats producers can use the grooves as a rhythmic base.

Who Global Shake is for

Global Shake suits producers making modern Afro-influenced dance and club productions. It is built for MPC users, so the material is organized for sampling, sequencing and arrangement in the MPC workflow.

Because it is an expansion pack, it adds sounds to an existing MPC setup rather than working as a standalone instrument. Producers who already use MPC for beat making will get the most from it.
