The Drum Broker has released Crate Classics Vol. 1, a new boom bap MPC expansion from producer Marco Polo. For 30 days, Marco made a new beat each day on his MPC, then turned it into a playable 16-pad kit with that beat’s drums, bass, chops, chords, FX and vocals mapped and ready to go. The drums are Marco’s own. The bass, chords, leads and FX were recorded from his Roland Juno-106, Moog Model D, Matriarch and Grandmother, with no stock presets. The expansion includes 25 drum programs, 25 sequences, 25 complete demo projects at 77–100 BPM, and 400 WAV samples.
Buyers also get Marco Polo’s original MPC project folders. They can open the sessions, see how each kit and sequence was built, and rework the beats in their own projects. Crate Classics Vol. 1 ships with separate XPN builds for MPC 2 and MPC 3, tested in MPC Software 2.7 and 3.8. The WAV samples work in any DAW or drum machine. All sounds are 100% royalty free for commercial use, though the full demo beats may not be released as-is.
The Slow Cooker Vol. 1 is a boom bap sample pack made for cooking dark, low-tempo beats and grimy underground classics. The library features 600+ completely original sounds — 232 heavy drum breaks, dusty one-shots, dark melodic textures, and bonus compositions — all cooked low and slow through tape, cassette, and vintage gear for a thick, grimy aesthetic. Alongside the breaks you get boom bap drum samples across the board: kicks, snares, hats, cymbals, percussion, drum fills, hat and ride loops, plus 162 melodic and FX one-shots and 5 bonus dark compositions. Nothing lifted, nothing to clear — every sample is 100% original, delivered in 16 & 24-bit WAV and BPM-labeled for seamless workflow integration. Ingredients for heavy boom bap.
Beefy Breaks Vol. 1 by Daniel Blonde is a boom bap sample pack featuring 200 original drum breaks — played, recorded, and mixed to hit heavy. Tracked in multiple rooms and studios on vintage Ludwig, Sonor, Slingerland, and Premier kits, every break is an original performance: nothing lifted, nothing to clear. Alongside the breaks you get boom bap drum samples across the board — kicks, snares, hi-hats, cymbals, percussion one-shots and loops, drum fills — plus a bonus folder of basses, synths, and SFX: 445 royalty-free sounds in total. These boom bap samples were created for classic hip hop production but will bang in any genre that needs fat drums, all BPM-labeled (61–156 BPM) and delivered as 24-bit/44.1 kHz stereo WAVs, ready for any DAW or sampler.
BOOM CRATES brings two worlds together: the dusty, sample-based production of Cookin Soul and the live drumming of Tamuz. One side digs through records; the other plays the pocket. Together they built a boom bap and lo-fi drum kit straight from the source.
Cookin Soul has spent over two decades shaping his sound on the SP-1200, MPC 3000 and SP-404, producing for Freddie Gibbs, Larry June, Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Nipsey Hussle and Conway The Machine. Tamuz is one of the most respected drummers in the modern beat scene, known for deep-pocket grooves and soulful live performances that have landed in records by J. Cole, The Alchemist, Wiz Khalifa and Chance the Rapper.
The result is 414 hard-hitting drum breaks, dusty one-shots, chops, stabs and raw musical loops made for boom bap, lo-fi and sample-based hip hop. Inside you’ll find live breaks, crunchy kicks, snappy snares, percussion, bass notes, Rhodes chords, horn stabs, wah guitars, vocal phrases, textures and gritty FX, all ready to chop, flip and resample.
Every sound was run through vintage hardware: the E-MU SP-1200, MPC 3000 and Roland SP-404, plus a 1970s Pioneer reel-to-reel, cassette tape and vintage mics. The musical elements were played on a 1970s Fender Rhodes Mark I, Wurlitzer 206, ’70s Fender P-Bass and a 1960s Greco electric guitar, giving you the warmth, punch and character of classic 90s hip hop.

This year marks 15 years of The Drum Broker — selling the finest samples in the game. Our history runs deeper than that. We’ve been doing cool shit since the early 2000s, and over the years we’ve given away flagship MPCs, SP-404s, SP-1200s, plugins, and a whole lot more.
Gospel Expressions Vol. 1 is a comprehensive collection of over 150 royalty free gospel samples. Specifically, gospel adlib and lead vocal phrases performed by Grammy-nominated vocalist Nichol Eskridge. Her vocals have been featured on records alongside Drake, J. Cole, Jack Harlow, Chance The Rapper, Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine, and many more.
This isn’t a generic gospel vocal sample pack. Gospel Expressions Vol. 1 delivers a focused palette of gospel adlibs, lead vocal phrases, runs, and shouts. These are the kinds of vocal elements that producers loop throughout records to make samples stick. Each one carries its own character and emotion, spanning every dynamic from aggressive and loud to soft, intimate, and emotional, giving you endless combinations for crafting the right vocal texture. All samples are key labeled for seamless integration into your productions.
What separates these royalty free gospel vocal samples from everything else on the market is how they were recorded. Every vocal was meticulously captured using authentic analog equipment from the era: a vintage Electrodyne console, vintage ribbon mics, live rooms, EMT-140 plate reverb, all processed through a Scully 4-track tape machine. The result is gospel samples with the authentic texture, warmth, and character you’d find on a gospel record from the early 70s. No plugins. No emulation. The real thing.
Gospel Expressions Vol. 1 is part of the Polyphonic Music Library, founded by Grammy-nominated producer Mario Luciano. Samples and productions from the Polyphonic Music Library catalog have been used on records by Drake, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Madlib, Schoolboy Q, Jack Harlow, H.E.R., Doechii, NF, Central Cee, Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine, Joey Bada$$, Russ, Boldy James, Bryson Tiller, Kodak Black, Little Brother, IDK, and Estee Nack, with producers like Jake One, Kal Banx, and Conductor Williams all pulling from the catalog. The library was also featured on the Creed III official soundtrack.
If you’re looking for royalty free gospel samples that carry real analog weight and have a proven track record at the highest level of the industry, Gospel Expressions Vol. 1 delivers.

Crafted Using an All Analog Line Up
Beat Butcha crafted this kit using an all analog line up including: Sh-1000, Prophet 600, Prophet 5, Model D, Voyager, Jupiter-6, Vox Baroque through various tape echos, hardware spring verb & the Eventide H3000. There were no presets used in the creation of these samples — the FX were created live and refined to taste by tweaking the parameters on the synths while altering delay speeds, echo volume & the intensity of the feedback.
Melodic FX, One-Shots & Fire Textures
Butcha has also ventured into the melodic side of FX with a folder of fire textures to harmonize in your beats. Additionally, Butcha has added some unique spacey one-shots to load into your sampling synths and play melodies with. The one-shots have been recorded from Butcha’s personal collection of synths (Chroma/Jupiter-6/Sh-1000/Voyager/Prophet 5/600/Synorchestra 4/Vox Baroque/RMI) through various pedals, tweaking the FX live to create uniquely textured sounds.

If you’re looking to take your beatmaking process to the next level, check out this session using the AKAIMPC Xse with theSquare One Shots – Mahogany Segments Vol. 1 multi-kit. Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned producer, this sample pack delivers a versatile range of one-shots, drum breaks, and melodic freestyle elements that spark creativity. Unlike traditional loop-based packs, the “Square One Segments” multi-kit offers unique one-shots—ranging from harps to bass notes—that can be chopped and reshaped to craft your own signature sound.
Throughout the session, the focus is on building a custom beat from scratch. Starting with the raw drum sounds and percussive elements, the groove is sequenced directly on the MPC Xse grid editor. From there, melodic one-shots—like extended chords and freestyle harp recordings—are layered, chopped, and arranged to create organic textures. A key highlight involves sending the harp phrases through a tape delay pedal and SP-404 for extra warmth and gritty flavor. By running these sounds through external hardware, you gain greater sonic depth and a more hands-on approach to shaping your beats.
What truly sets this workflow apart is the freedom to treat each instrument like a blank canvas. Whether you’re slicing a long chord or repitching a single bass note into a keygroup program, the MPC Xse’s intuitive interface keeps everything cohesive. Plus, if you’re curious about routing signals or working with post-fader sends, this setup shows how you can blend dry signals with effects-laden takes for maximum control.
Overall, combining the MPC Xse workflow with the Square One Shots – Mahogany Segments Vol. 1 sample pack is an inspiring approach for any beatmaker looking to push their boundaries. If you want to explore these techniques further, grab the sample pack, experiment with your own hardware pedals, and let your creativity run free.
