Welcome to SampleRadar, the hub page for MusicRadar’s regular giveaway of pro-quality, royalty-free samples.
Here you can find links to all of our entries, which feature collections of loops, hits and multisamples in a wide range of genres. The great news is that you won’t have to pay a penny to download any of them.
The samples are supplied as WAV files so can be imported directly into your DAW of choice. Because they’re royalty-free, you’re welcome to use them in your music in any way you like – all we ask is that you don’t re-distribute them.
All the samples originally appeared as free downloads or cover discs given away with issues of Computer Music or Future Music magazine. Check out their latest issues for many more, but first, scroll through the links below (ordered alphabetically) and get downloading!
Every few years, someone or other will loudly declare that a particular genre is “back”, giving us all a nice excuse to get our knickers in a twist over some music we’ve mostly heard before. In the case of nu garage (or NUKG) though, such knicker-twisting is undoubtedly justified: garage was so much fun the first time around that it truly deserves a re-run.
The slinkiest, sexiest of dance music genres has been glowed up for 2023 with a new and hard-hitting sound bolstered by modern production techniques and contemporary software. Our latest collection of free samples captures the sound of nu garage through chords, drum hits, loops and multisamples; over 500 of them, to be exact. Hit the link above to download.
