 "An
intense collection of breakbeat samples. Filthy, funky, grimy
and chunky - not for those who want to produce granny-friendly
chart fodder. Compiled with care, this is a thoroughly contemporary
collection that also gives nods to the past." Computer

Cone-melting basslines wrestle with ballbusting
breaks; floor-shattering sub-basses fight with dripping wet
synths; groovin' electro mash-ups jostle with speaker busting
fx, all recorded, mixed and mastered in industry standard 24-bit
format.
Conveniently grouped and REXed into 125bpm, 130bpm, 135bpm
and 140bpm folders, the buck doesn't stop with the loops.
Breakbusters also includes a huge selection of fx, textures,
vinyl scratches, hat loops, hot bump'n'grind vocals and five
folders of the illest drum hits.
Nail down your furniture, insure your ears and prepare your
woofers... for Breakbusters.

Breakbusters reviewed:
REMIX Magazine, June 2007
"Following
the commercial dance appeal of Funky House Grooves, relative
newcomer Sample Magic focuses its attention on all things clunkier
and funkier in this outstanding new three-CD hardcore breaks
library. Rather than building around thematically limiting construction
kits, the 1000-plus loops, licks and one-shots are arranged
as 31 tracks on audio CD1 for auditioning and hardware sampling,
24-bit Acidized WAV files on CD2 and 16-bit REX files on CD3.
Special format files also contain HALion, EXS24 and Reason patches.
Loops are 125, 130, 135, or 140 bpm, and keygrouping of melodic
material is thankfully kept to a minimum.
The 168 ball-crushing breaks span decades of influences, from
grit-infused acoustic funk with 808 boom augmentation to heavily
distorted and effected industrial and post-modern filth. Devastating
kicks and gut-punching sub-basses tie the knot with all sorts
of quirky, squeaky vintage electro-percussion trickery for highly
inspiring, era-transcending beats.
The same goes for the top-end percussion-loops folder. This
outrageous fun includes rapid-fore percussion warfare, tightly
looped vocoded drum phrases, factory inspired electro-mechanical
beatbox escapades and more. Together with the 95 bass and 124
synth loops, you'll really start pushing your speaker cones.
From panoramic, pitch-warped resonant saw lines to nail-biting
'80s FM and brainfreezing swelched arpeggios, fat sound is delivered
by the tubful.
The "mashed vocals" is perhaps the coolest supplementary
folder I've encounterred in any sample library. Randomly chopped
and flipped, these male and female spoken words, vocalbreaks/scats
and sung phrases are edited unrecognizably - a masterclass in
digital cut-up, glitch and stutter theory. Hundreds of beat-matched
scrathed loops, FX stabs, builds and textures, as well as individual
drum hits, round out the collection. Breakbusters is a must-have
that will shake your bones and melt your b-boy soul."
Jason Scott Alexander, REMIX magazine

"Sample
Magic's Breakbusters is an intense collection of breakbeat samples.
Filthy, funky, grimy and chunky, it's certainly not for those
who want to produce granny-friendly chart fodder.
The beats dominate (over 150 well-produced loops
are included) but basses, synths, mashed vocals, scratches and
FX are covered too. Compiled with care, this is a thoroughly
contemporary collection that also gives nods to the past."
