Award-winning sound designers Sample Magic make their entry into the literary world this December with the release of a pioneering new book for dance music producers. Learn from the experts!

The Secrets of House Music Production features 144 pages of extensive tutorials and insightful interviews with some of the biggest names in the industry – all in full glorious colour.

Written by Marc Adamo (Future Music, DJ Mag, Computer Music), with a foreword by Mark Knight and contributions from Wolfgang Gartner, Jody Wisternoff (Way Out West) and Sample Magic’s very own Sharooz, the book explores all aspects of creating dance music, including making beats, drum sounds and basslines, track arrangements, mixing, effects, vocals, programming ideas and much more besides. Up-to-the-moment techniques are revealed in hundreds of step by step walkthroughs covering all major sequencers.

The Secrets of House Music Production encompasses all genres of four-on-the-floor house, from minimal to tribal, tech to electro, deep to soulful, and comes complete with a bonus CD packed with more than 600MB of exclusive samples from the Sample Magic range to get you started.

What better way to achieve the sounds of the stars than by learning from the production professionals themselves?

The Secrets of House Music Production will be published in mid December with an RRP of £34.95
