There are plenty to choose from; 400 in total ranging from 85 to 125 bpm plus loads of percussive loops and jazz rhythms. Each loop has its own character and the whole CD oozes loopability. Anyone looking for lively, breakbeat drumming should look no further.

There's also a large bassline section. Next up is a large section of all manner of disco and funk stabs to suit every flavour, well suited to house and funk styles of dance music. There are loads of brass lines and sax riffs, solo and duet. The Rhodes are smooth jazz with chords and riffs plus some nice Rhodes stabs and wah FX. The flute FX are weird and wonderful with nice reverb and echo effects and there's a short vocal section of JB and woo-yehs etc. The CD rounds off with individual instrument note hits and drum sounds.
