Big Fish deliver new libraries for Bollywood, Hip Hop and Electro fans

Big Fish Audio have had a relatively quiet 2009 so far compared to previous years having released five titles in the past six months – Mirrorball, Chill 2, Rotation Hip Hop,  Earth Tone: World Percussion and the hugely popular Epic Drums. However, the sample giants have clearly been busy working on new libraries as we see the release of three new titles this week…

Bollyhood Beats is a perfect fusion of Hip Hop beats with traditional Indian percussion including tabla, dholak, duff, manjira, ghungroo, clay pot and various types of shakers. This massive multi disc library was performed by Sanket Athale, one of India´s top percussion players and produced and conceived by Dinshah Sanjana.
