The best melodic techno sample packs in 2024
The rise of melodic techno has been one of the most captivating trends in electronic music over the past decade. First rose to light in the early 2010s, this emotive subgenre has evolved significantly, transitioning from the works of pioneering artists like Ten Walls, Tale of Us, and Agents of Time, to become a prominent force in the contemporary scene. What distinguishes melodic techno is its focus on hypnotic basslines, captivating melodic progressions, and drop-oriented approach – a marked departure from the melodic techno that dominated until the mid-2010s. Producers like Stephan Bodzin, Patrice Bäumel, Ida Engberg, ARTBAT, and Yotto have played pivotal roles in shaping the genre’s emotive, reflective style, blending driving melodies with a spiritual, trance-like quality. Prominent labels such as Diynamic, Afterlife Records, Anjunadeep, and Innervisions have further propelled melodic techno’s rise, providing a platform for innovative new artists and tracks. For producers looking to craft their own melodic techno masterpieces, we have listed some of the best royalty-free high-quality sample packs in 2024.
