Everything’s gone a little fuzzy with our latest free sample pack, focusing on a distorted sound palette drawing from old-school sci-fi FX, ‘60s garage psychedelia and fuzzed-out stoner rock.

We’ve got psych-tinged guitars, basses, synths, and drums in both loop and multisample instrument formats and with the exception of a handful of drum loops, everything in this collection has been passed through a fuzz/distortion pedal or two… or three, or four!

What you need to know

Because they're royalty-free, you're welcome to use the samples in your music in any way you like - all we ask is that you don't re-distribute them.

The samples are supplied in a zip file, so you'll need to extract them before you can see them. Enjoy!

Miley Cyrus’ Hit ‘Flowers’ Is Such An Empowering Anthem, But The Singer Reveals Why She Thinks It’s One Of The Saddest Songs She’s Ever Written
Miley Cyrus’ lead single off her album "Endless Summer Vacation," “Flowers,” was one of the hottest hits of 2023, winning Grammy Awards for Best Record and Best Pop Solo Performance. Thanks to her empowering lyrics, an amazing music video, and plenty of speculation that the song is about her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, “Flowers” shot up the charts. But while people all over the world found strength in the concept of looking within for the things we seek out in relationships, Cyrus said she actually thinks the anthem is one of the saddest things she’s ever written. In the new season of David Letterman’s "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction" (available to stream with a Netflix subscription), the “Wrecking Ball” artist sat down with the iconic talk show host. One topic that came up was her huge hit from last year that skyrocketed to the top of the charts, and Letterman mused that while buying yourself flowers and holding your own hand is a great concept, it’s not actually that easy in practice. Miley Cyrus agreed, noting “a real sadness to it.”
