"A quick browse reveals a tremendous...

by Sound On Sound magazine, UK

"A quick browse reveals a tremendous range of feels and sonic textures. So although ‘Classics’ in the title might suggest that these loops are only likely to suit traditional Indian music or a Bollywood film song, there’s also plenty that could appeal to more experimental contemporary dance producers. For example, I could imagine some of the Andhranatyam loops working in modern hip-hop or R&B, whereas loops from the Goa Dance and Bombay Fusion categories could certainly add a bit of spice to modern dance-pop track.

The loops are all ensemble performances, and within each style the loops are organised into intros, main rhythms, fills, variations and endings. This makes it very easy to piece together a complete rhythm track, with all the necessary variation to keep things interesting. The recording seems to be of a very high standard: the sounds are crisp and full, and most of the loops seem to have a very nice element of ambience.

All in all, everything is presented in a fashion that means you able simply to chain together the loops you need, and have authentic Indian-flavoured rhythms in an instant. So, in summary, there’s really very little for you not to like about Indian Dance Classics. The loops sound great and, at this price, it also represents very good value for money. Top-notch!"
