Brighton based Loopmasters first came to light in 1999 under the ‘Beatnik Samples’ banner, and released 4 Sample CDs known as the ‘Modular Series’ to critical acclaim, but it wasn’t until early 2003 that the current Loopmasters brand was officially launched.

Their aim was simply to produce flexible sample libraries for producers and musicians who required top quality playing from seasoned professioanls to integrate into and inspire their music.

Loopmasters now a byword for quality, value and flexibility has since gone from strength to strength by constantly re-examining producers needs, and redefining genres and formats to accommodate and inspire producers.  It was the first company in its class to launch an Artist Series, and more recently the Label Series.

We catch with some of the labels Artists to find out the secret behind one of the Sample industries most enduring successes.
