Kitchen Things (Foley V1)
-
Created in México by producer Edgar López, Kitchen Things is a unique hybrid combo pack of Foley sounds paired with a diverse assortment of drum ‘n’ perc loops inspired by them. The title says it all—it’s kitchen things! Banging pots and pans, timers ticking, spoons, pans and tuna cans, crunches, gulps, burps and slurps… from the organic to the mechanical, electronic, and… well, you get the idea—the sounds of the modern kitchen, fully documented and conveniently labeled for your Foley post-production needs in 60 well-recorded drag ‘n’ drop one shots. After you’re finished in the kitchen, then bring the music! This is where Edgar brings in his beat-writing chops, in two sets (120 and 180 BPM) of rhythm loops, 80 in all, with feels ranging from classic dancehall to weird, Tom Waits-style pop, mini-industrial grooves, hilarious comedy beats and more. The production skills in play here bring to mind the amazing David Van Tieghem—file under ‘serious fun’ with genuine artistry. As for the sonics, everything blends together perfectly on a carefully constructed soundstage that’s wide, deep, and dimensional. It’s refreshing to get Foley effects recorded by a music producer, and this, in addition to being a dedicated Foley and beat loops hybrid collection, is where Kitchen Things stands apart as an awe-inspiring collection of great sounds, beats, and ideas.

Sounds of México City (Foley V6)
-
Soundtrack Loops presents Foley V6 – Sounds of Mexico City Sound Effects & Rhythms. Musician / producer / Foley designer Edgar Lopez is back with his eighth Soundtrack Loops release, Mexico City. While we marvel at Edgar’s blistering production pace, let’s take a look at what we have in this title. Churning through 90, 120, 150 and 180 BPM, and for a total of 202 samples, Edgar takes us on a wild ride that immediately brings to mind the classic glitch music of the early aughts—if you like Mouse on Mars, Matmos, and Uwe Schmidt, and especially if you appreciate their most whimsical work, then Mexico City will certainly bring a smile. The sounds are rich with authentic inner-city vibes—chaos, urgency, impatience, vibrancy, grit, atonalities—and the spirit is strong, as expressed in a vast array of beats: breakbeats, fractured rhythms (again, classic glitch) equatorial street rhythms, stomping beats, and more. The sonic jewels are delivered with the same signature that runs through every Lopez collection in the Soundtrack Loops catalog—bright, crisp, and exquisitely soundstaged. Beyond the beats, the one shots folder lets you peer deeply into the Foley and location recording DNA, where it becomes obvious that Edgar’s perception of the world is one in which every object has a rhythm, every noise is music, every scenario is a song, and there’s an abundance of joy and strangeness everywhere he looks.

Frightening Sounds
-
Strange voodoo from Mexico—it’s Frightening Sounds. This is not your typical scary sounds collection—instead of that faux-creepy stuff you might expect to find on a title such as this, here we have something that’s way more surreal. Producer Edgar Lopez knows both Foley craft and the art of music, and this makes all his work stand out as being unique in both arenas. Frightening Sounds is no exception—again, we have the Tom Waits-level weirdness, the slightly twisted, slightly ironic and totally spot-on sense of humor, the groovy equatorial rhythm feels, but this time, Edgar has also built in a vintage automaton-like crankiness that would sound perfectly at home in a Brothers Quay film—again, key word: surrealism. This arthouse vibe is what makes Frightening Sounds stand apart—it refuses to be typecast as gothic horror or dark industrial, and veers toward doing its own thing, which of course will better help you do yours when you need some dark potions dripped into your timeline. Frightening Sounds—80 beat loops at 85 and 120 BPM, and 71 one shots for your toolbox. Dry bones, rusty pipes, owls and rain, unknowable chants, unspeakable secrets—this title is great on its own, and a perfect fit in the growing Soundtrack Loops / Edgar Lopez collection of libraries that merge music creation and Foley sound design in a remarkable and refreshing way.
