there’s enough here to make it worth checking out if you’ve already got the basics covered elsewhere in your sample vault, but are on the lookout for some creative instrumental hooks to freshen things up.

The instrumental riffs and synth parts, on the other hand, include a lot of really good imaginative stuff, nailing ‘cheesy-but-cool’, without wallowing complacently in tired GM Soundfront clichés. There’s a large helping of those fizzy polysynth pads that are springing up all over the charts like a rash at the moment (think Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’, for example), as well as some nice crusty effects and judicious vinyl patina. Basses are often enormous and packed with character — a highlight of the library for me – and there are also some lovely wordless sampled vocal phrases, obviously digitally manipulated but with a deft musicality that really works.
(...)
Fortunately, a lot of these criticisms are mitigated by the construction-kit format, allowing you to underpin Urbanic’s bass and instrumental riffs with other drum parts that really put the boot in. Also in the library’s favour is the way its respectable 2.8GB bulk has been organised within Ueberschall’s bespoke Elastik Player (for more information on this, check out my review of Groove Shadow Elastik back in SOS February 2008). There are 34 themed sets of construction kits, each set containing main, intro and outro kits, as well as another variation kit in some cases, and each set of kits also includes an additional Elastik Player preset containing single-hit drum samples taken from the main drum loop. Each set’s original key and tempo is displayed, but the Elastik Player technology provides a lot of flexibility for bending samples outside these to fit pre-existing tracks.

So although Urbanic might not exactly supply all your hip-hop and R&B needs, there’s enough here to make it worth checking out if you’ve already got the basics covered elsewhere in your sample vault, but are on the lookout for some creative instrumental hooks to freshen things up.

A constant stream of DVDs leaves Ueberschall and supplies the user of the Elastik-Player with new material. This library takes care of Black Music in it‘s most urban way a.k.a. R&B and Hip-Hop
(...)
The library is filled with 33 Construction-Kits that are separated into Intro, Outro, Main, Single Samples and Variation.
(...)
The Kits do have a phat arrangment. The grooves have punch ad infinitum, the melodical parts are not too pushy so there is enough space for a new melody.
If you are using Construction Kits than take Ueberschall - they always sound official!

A big advantage for the creative process in comparisson to other Sampling-CDs. At last Urbanic doesn‘t cost more as any other library while the competitors don‘t offer a sample player.

Basics:
Behind Urbanic, the „Pure Taste Of Black Music“, are producers that worked together with Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera or Eminem. Stylistically seen this production aims at RnB and Hip Hop
(...)

Sounds:
The library comes with two files split into 34 Construction Kits all around Hip-Hop and RnB. Each kit has an intro-, main-, outro- and sometimes a variation-part. With a complete mix and single lines each. They also include the single drum shots. All in all we have 1.280 loops and samples within 2.8 GB. Musical the kits are very well produced with a huge creativ input, this is truly the experience of the producers.
(...)

Conclusion:
The very flexible Elastik-Engine is just as made for the work with Hip-Hop Construction Kits. Fast workflow, clear structure and a very easy way to change tempo and pitch of each kit to suit them to each other or any other project. A big advantage for the creative process in comparisson to other Sampling-CDs. At last Urbanic doesn‘t cost more as any other library while the competitors don‘t offer a sample player.
