Pride of Kingston brings you authentic, rolling island beats inspired by ‘70s roots reggae luminaries like Peter Tosh and Bob Marley but updates their time-honored sonic style with a nuanced, contemporary dose of drum machine samples and synthesized horns. Of course, all of the most familiar trappings of reggae are represented here as well: fingerstyle melodic bass played through an 18-inch woofer; soulful B3 organ; spanky, compressed guitar; tape delays workin’ overtime in the hot sun… and one love for the two and the four.
The result is a balmy collection of loops that are simultaneously evocative of the past and the future. One could even refer to Pride of Kingston as “timeless.”
You get 400 (uncompressed) megabytes of royalty-free chill vibes across 10 multi-track construction kits that you can chop up, edit, resequence, and rearrange into your own unique sonic patois. You also get 10 Impact XT drum kits for making your own beats from the ground up!
