Authentic Vintage Hardware meets Modern Studio Quality

Every sample in this 200-piece collection was meticulously crafted, capturing the authentic 12-bit character of the original Akai S950 sampler that defined an era. Our aim is to maintain the sonic consistency that made the original house classics so compelling.

The Latin percussion elements receive special attention. Whether you're layering a subtle bongo accent or building a percussion break, every element carries the organic warmth that made soulful house so emotionally resonant.

The Sound That Built House Music's Soul

The Akai S950 sampler didn't just capture sounds—it created legends. Between 1988 and 1995, this revolutionary 12-bit machine became the secret weapon behind countless house music classics, from Chicago's underground warehouse parties to the UK's emerging soulful house movement. The S950 House Drums pack honours this remarkable heritage, delivering authentic drum sounds that carry the DNA of house music's golden era.

When Masters At Work crafted their timeless grooves, when Larry Heard sculpted those deep, hypnotic rhythms, when Kerri Chandler laid down his signature swing—they were channelling the distinctive character of the S950's legendary SSM2044 filters. The machine's 12-bit resolution and unique frequency response created a warmth and character that we strived to retain in this pack.
