  • Latest release from progressive house DJ/producer Thomas Penton isn't a compilation but a collection of samples. Thomas Penton is an American DJ and producer who makes dark, percussive, sometimes trancey, sometimes tribal progressive house. He's released on labels such as Perfecto, Stereo Productions and Baroque. Recently he's also branched out into electrohouse with a new label Electric Candy. But don't go popping Penton's newest effort straight into the CDJ. His latest release 'Essential Series' is a collection of samples and loops which he has put together for aspiring producers. "I created both volumes of the Essential Series with the beginner and professional musician in mind," says Penton. "My goal was to provide high-quality samples that could be used in almost any style of music or audio production. I designed the sounds to be easily accessible and to load conveniently into any sampler or audio editor, with almost no edits required." Part One 'Drums and Percussion' is an arsenal of percussive elements, including hundreds of kickdrums, snares, claps and shakers while Part Two 'Loops and Effects' contains an assortment of samples for use in Ableton Live and other digital audio production software. All samples are copyright-free 24-bit WAV files. Both parts of the 'Essential Series' are now exclusively available as a download from ResonantVibes.com.
