ILIO Introduces Stark Raving Beats Sample CD

ILIO Entertainments was displaying a new collection of live and remixed drum grooves at Winter NAMM. The set is titled "Stark Raving Beats" and it features live performances, mixed and remixed with wildly processed electronics and banging percussion. The collection is also 100% Groove Control-activated for endless tempo, feel and mix possibilities.

"Stark Raving Beats" starts at 105 BPM and accelerates to 170, and the tempo can even be speeded up with Groove Control. Every groove has an aggressive style that can burn rubber at any tempo.

"The mix possibilities are literally endless," says ILIO's Mark Hiskey. "Not only up to three mixes per groove, but each groove comes with tightly isolated kick, snare, hat, room, effects, percussion and alternate parts. In all, there are hundreds of loops that you can mix and match millions of ways. Its extreme separation makes it a natural to combine with Skippy's Noizbox, Big Bad Beats, Ethno Techno, or any of the Groove Control activated libraries from Spectrasonics." "Stark Raving Beats" is performed and remixed by expert loopologist Chris O'Brien, and provides a perfect blend of Hi-Fi impact and reckless attitude. If you have a need for speed and a passion for aggression, then you must have "Stark Raving Beats."

The set is available as follows:

• CD-Audio - $99
• CD-ROM - $199 for Akai and Roland (Includes Data CD with exclusive Soundfinder system and .WAV files. Giga, E-mu and Software Sampler compatible.)
