Ad feature with BandLab Sounds
As more and more boundary-pushing dance music enters the mainstream, artists like Ninajirachi are seeing success for their futuristic soundscapes, intricate rhythms, and shimmering textures. In this week’s free sample pack round-up, we’ve collected a selection of sounds perfect for those who want to channel that same energetic and experimental vibe.
Whether you’re looking for glitchy percussion, glossy synths, or hyperpop-inspired vocal chops, these packs will help you freshen up classic noughties sounds and pave entirely new sonic pathways of your own.
Future Garage
Want to keep things strictly 130 BPM? This future garage pack features tons of dusty, foley-inspired loops to create off-kilter rhythms. You’ll also find deep and evolving bass sounds, ambient pads, and crunchy textures that strike a perfect balance between organic and synthetic.
Future Bass
Taking a cue from masterful sound designers such as Flume, these samples include ravey synth stabs, warped sonic texture, and attention-grabbing synths perfect for the festival stage. Alongside is a collection of hard-hitting drums and intense risers to get the energy flowing.
Future Glitch
If you’re looking to get a bit weirder, the Future Glitch pack contains plenty of found sounds, synth phrases, and effects samples — all of which have been given a healthy dose of processing to turn them into something entirely new.
Kawaii Future Bass
From downsampled vocal chops to lush keys and whimsical lead lines, this future bass sample pack is heavily inspired by J-pop, video games, and anime. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a more upbeat and playful flavour.
Kawaii Future Bass FX
Building on the first Kawaii Future Bass sample pack, this collection provides all you need to transform your track into a detailed, release-ready production. Included are risers, foley-style percussion samples, and characterful ambience loops that deliver a nostalgic sound.

Epic Stock Media: Fire Future Rave
Another pack that’s perfect for the main stage at an EDM festival, Fire Future Rave from Epic Stock Media offers up plenty of samples in the vein of tech and prog house. Want to get a bit heavier? There’s an abundance of low end here thanks to growling bass synths with a brostep flavour.

Tech House Vocals
What floor-filling EDM anthem is complete without an earworm of a vocal hook? This pack features 105 samples, from spoken one-shots to longer melodic phrases — all of which have been run through distortion, autotune, and other characterful processing.
Grimey Stutter House
This sample pack veers a little more leftfield, focusing mostly on synth loops that have been given a heavily percussive edge through liberal use of tremolo and rhythmic gating for a fluttering effect. You’ll also find minimal drums, analogue basslines, and eerie FX samples inside — perfect for that 3am warehouse set.
Driving Stutter House
Serving up a more euphoric sound, this pack is inspired by the likes of Fred Again.. and Bunt, featuring highly rhythmic synths, pounding drums, and rolling basslines to keep the momentum going all night.
