Beatport Sounds is a sample label dedicated to serving up the hottest dance music loops and sounds from the most respected producers in the world and rising talents of the electronic music scene.

Beatport Sounds launches with ‘The Fundamentals of Techno’, a new collection of peak-time dancefloor inspiration from pioneering DJ/producer, Umek.

If you can trust any artist to deliver with a pack entitled ‘The Fundamentals Of Techno’, it’s UMEK. A staple of the international club scene for nearly thirty years, UMEK, otherwise known as Uroš Umek, has watched his musical love develop from a cult movement into an international concern. Only in his teens behind the Iron Curtain in Slovenia when techno arrived in Europe from Detroit, UMEK began producing and DJing in 1993, founding the influential labels Consumer Recreation and Recycled Loops, followed by 1605, which remains one of techno’s most beloved brands.

In short; you can trust this man’s kicks. And, as you might expect, ‘The Fundamentals Of Techno’ is packed full of them, as well as every other element necessary to make the sort of flawless, high-impact techno that UMEK himself remains a true master of, whether in an underground rave or from the biggest festival stage. Working closely alongside Loopcloud, UMEK’s debut pack delivers the euphoric and smooth sound he’s come to perfect.

Dystopian rave sounds, intense jacking beats, urgent trance-inducing melodies and piercing acid basslines form the backbone of this pack, reflecting UMEK’s decades-long trip of techno creativity. Sharing his studio for the first time, the highlights of UMEK’s journey could be the start of yours.
