2 Step Garage


Interface Magazine
2 Step is very hot at the moment, it's not only the number of releases that convincing that. Finaly a sample CD manufacturor has got the balls for inspiring a brand new market with hot sounds. Uebershall comes off with a 2 CD set, packed with construction kits.
The construction kits are set on the CD as complete packages containing the elements of each demotrack, but also included are the samples each kit is made with. De contents of each kit are very variating between the standard protocol but also a very uniquie sound that is hard to compare with others.
The sound quality is as it comes as always with the Uebershall products, cristal, clear and put up to the maximum of dynamic. The only miss on this set is that the set is strictly audio. In these days the technoligy almost demands a certain issue such as wav files, or maby a protocol such as Spectrasonics' Groove Control.
But to be realistic except for the so called only "miss" the contents of this set will blow everyone. In my humble opinion it's possible to make a hit with this set, actualy this CD set is a must have for every 2step producer. So let's get it on and take 2 steps to your local dealer.

With UK garage showing no signs of being topped from its perch at the head of the radio playlists, there`s still plenty of scope for releasing sample CDs related to the genre. These two Best Service discs contain a whopping 30 construction kits. After a demo of the full arrangement, each is broken down into its constituent parts which are spread over several tracks. The drums are, on the whole pristine, the Rhodes shimmering, while the organ sounds have a housey tinge. Our only real quibble concerns the fact that many of these major seventh strewn kits sound similar to one another, but that`s fairly true of the genre as a whole. An ideal bandwagond jumping resource, then.

Verdict: 8 out of 10
