Past influence. Present energy.

Qebo / Alex Retsis

New City connects the feel of 80s and 90s hip hop with the production language of modern hip hop and trap. Created for beatmakers and electronic producers, it gives you a source of drum sounds that can lean into a classic groove or support a more contemporary arrangement. Choose the direction and let the rhythm do the talking.

New City was created by Athens-based electronic artist and sound designer Alex Retsis, also known as Qebo, in collaboration with SoundMorph. His electronic production background runs through a collection built to connect old-school influences with new-school ideas.

Very very VERY dope & versatile Drum Sample Pack

Very very VERY dope & versatile Drum Sample Pack.. Although on the tin it says it's good for cinematic scoring, it also is extremely useful in a variety of different use scenarios from Hip Hop beat production to video game scoring, sound designing plus much much more!! I personally believe that you can't go with with ANY of the Drum sample packs in which I own all but 2 lol.. Well now one If they give me a surprise reward for another sample pack for my review aha... Although I'm only allowed 5 stars, I give it a 10/10 due to the HQ of the sounds, usefulness, versatility, & creativity factors that the pack makers had in mind when they created it

Well, it's can overcome the emptiness of the song.

At first I was thinking that it's too much processed. Then I started making my beat... and just took some of the sounds into the mix. And it works, it adds something unique. It's rather experimental sounds.

The rar is just the archive file, you'll need to open it up. The wav files are inside.

A little away from the traditional Soundmorph lib , but that is exactly what i was hoping for .. a mainstream usuable sound pack with the soundmorph curation touch

Important install note

Open this file after downloading every part:

For multipart sound libraries

  1. Download every part into the same folder. Wait until every download has finished, and keep the original filenames unchanged.
  2. Open Part 1 only in one of the apps below: the file ending in .7z.001, .zip.001 or .part1.rar (sometimes .part01.rar). For older .rar + .r00 sets, open the .rar file.
  3. The app reads the remaining parts automatically and extracts the complete library. Keep all parts together until extraction finishes; you do not need to open the other parts.

If your library contains separate, complete ZIP archives instead of numbered volumes, extract each ZIP separately. Software installers have their own instructions.

Mac — Keka recommended
Keka is our recommended Mac app for large SoundMorph libraries and can be faster than The Unarchiver. Get the free direct download from Keka’s website, or support its developer with the Mac App Store version ($6.49 USD). Store pricing varies by region and may change. The Unarchiver also works and is free. Extraction speed depends on your Mac and the archive.

Keka users: allow folder or drive access

Keka needs permission to read the folder or drive holding your downloads, especially multipart archives on an external drive. If you have not already granted access:

  1. Open Keka → Settings (or Preferences) → File Access.
  2. Click the + button at the bottom left. Select the folder or drive containing all your downloaded parts, then click Give access to Keka (or Open).
  3. If you are extracting to a different folder or drive, grant access there too. Then open Part 1 only again.

Seeing “Operation not permitted” or “Cannot open the file as archive”? Check Keka’s access first. These messages do not necessarily mean the download is damaged.

Show Keka settings (+ button)
Keka File Access settings. Use the plus button in the bottom-left corner to add the folder or drive containing your downloads.
The arrow points to the + button. Add the folder or drive you are using; the entries shown here are just an example.

Windows — 7-Zip
Use 7-Zip, a free archive extraction app for Windows.

Make sure your drive has enough free space for both the downloaded archive parts and the extracted library.

* We’re developing a SoundMorph downloader and installer app to make downloading and installing your libraries faster and easier. Coming in 2027!
