About The Producer:

Gaurav Dayal is a celebrated and award-winning soundtrack composer hailing from New Delhi in India. His first record went platinum at the age of 21 with Punjabi Pop Icon, Jasbir Jassi. Gaurav soon followed this with hits like "Gabru" for Mika and many others. He worked on Shakira's "She Wolf" album in 2009, with Wyclef Jean, and Gaurav continues to collaborate with pop music artists and producers.

Gaurav composed the Music (Score & Songs) for movies "Say Salaam India" (2007) and "Sorry Bhai" (2008). He also has the most downloaded album, "Groove Punjab" (2008) ever to come out of India! He now runs Beatfactory Academy, India's first Professional Music Production Institute, which teaches music-making tecnhiques on Logic, Protools, Ableton Live, Sound Recording and Engineering.

Gaurav has been in and out of New York since 2005, producing music for people like Jerry Wonda (Wyclef-Jean, Shakira), TAZ (Stereo Nation), Fathy Salama (Grammy Winning Arranger). More and more international mainstream artists are now in line booking Gaurav for their music productions. Aside from Bollywood Soundtracks, Gaurav also composes Rock, Pop, Jazz, Hip Hop, RnB, House, DnB and Dub.

One-Shot Samples:

This pack also includes one-shot samples, allowing you to create new beats, fills and loops to compliment the existing material. Simply load them up into your sampler of choice and create an infinite number of new grooves and phrases.

YES!!! A superb collection of Bollywood sounds...

by Dave Colville, March 2016

YES!!! A superb collection of Bollywood sounds with a tinge of modernity to give a superb new twist.

You get four construction kits rammed with excellent sounds that even the likes of A-lister Shilpa Shetty would be chuffed to listen to.

The kits are Sitar Drone in D at 80bpm; Flood of Flutes in D# at 90bpm; The War Within in F at 110bpm and Evil Arrives in C at 116bpm.

Of course you can easily timestretch up or down if you fancy creating a Bollywood hip-hop track! Honest, it really works.

Kits contain the likes of men's choir, pianos, strings, tremelo strings, bells, chimes, claps, flutes, basslines galore, loads of drum loops, percussion and, wait for it, sarods, Ghungroos, Clay Duff. Clay Pot - yep, the works!

You also get folders of one shots, dry loops and tail versions so you have lots to play with and enjoy.
