25 More Essential Free & Cheap Sample Packs for Beat DJ Creators (Part Two: 26–50)
In Part One, we covered 25 foundational sample pack sources ranging from classic 90s CDs to modern experimental sound design. This second installment continues building that library with more focused drum tools, modular textures, field recordings, cinematic FX, and genre-specific kits which are ideal for pushing Beat DJ projects into deeper, more detailed territory. You'll also notice we're going into a little more depth with a few of our sample packs and hope that it helps get you excited about 50-100!
26. Modular Samples – Free Taster Packs
modularsamples.com/product-category/free-samples
High-end modular synth recordings with incredible movement, grit, and unpredictability.
27. The Very Loud Indeed Co. – Free Libraries
www.veryloudindeed.com/freesounds
Organic percussion, experimental hits, and hybrid acoustic/electronic textures.
28. Echo Sound Works Free Packs
echosoundworks.com/free-downloads
Clean EDM, trap, and melodic house samples with modern production polish.
29. Function Loops Free Samples
functionloops.com/free-samples
Genre-focused mini packs covering techno, psytrance, DnB, and cinematic styles.
30. Felttip – Free Drum Break Library
This is an excellent source of humanized, vinyl-style drum breaks and organic percussion. The recordings feel alive rather than grid-perfect, which makes them ideal for DnB ghost layers, hip-hop swing, breakcore slicing, and IDM micro-editing. In Beat DJ, these work beautifully when chopped into transient-driven fragments and re-layered under synthetic drums for natural movement.
31. Waveboy – Free Bitcrushing & FX Samples
Digital distortion tones, crunchy degradation, and glitch-heavy sound design tools.
32. Rekkerd Free Samples
Curated releases from plugin developers and sound designers with consistent quality.
33. That Sound – Free Artist Packs
Genre-diverse kit drops from real producers, not corporate design teams.
34. Arcane Sound – Free Experimental Packs
arcanesound.com/pages/free-sound-packs
Dark ambient drones, horror textures, and abstract field-recorded atmospheres.
35. Sonic Bloom – Free Modular & Eurorack Samples
sonicbloom.net/en/free-samples
These packs focus on raw modular synthesis textures, including evolving drones, chaotic modulation sweeps, CV-driven percussion, and unstable oscillators. These are perfect for ambient soundbeds, dystopian sci-fi sound design, glitch percussion layers, and long-form generative textures. They excel when stretched, granulated, or pushed through resonant filtering.
36. AlexB Audio – Free Analog Sample Libraries
alexbaudio.com/sample-libraries/free
High-fidelity analog processing chains captured as impulse responses and samples.
37. Sonniss GDC Free Game Audio Bundle
Massive yearly bundles of professional sound effects for game audio and cinematic work.
38. Big Fish Audio Free Loops
Polished genre-specific loops great for sketching arrangements quickly.
39. Riemann Kollektion Free Techno Packs
riemannkollektion.com/collections/free-sample-packs
Club-ready techno drums, rumble kicks, industrial percussion, and dark FX.
40. Field Recordings – Cities & Nature Archives (Open Source)
This is a global database of crowdsourced field recordings from cities, forests, coastlines, and industrial spaces. These sounds are invaluable for world-building in music. By layering real spaces into ambient tracks, adding atmosphere to IDM, or designing cinematic transitions these samples can be used with software like Beat DJ and work extremely well when processed through convolution, granular engines, or spectral effects.
41. Samplephonics Free Sound Packs
samplephonics.com/products/free
Professional-grade packs focused on modern electronic and cinematic production.
42. Sound Exhaustion – Free Analog Noise & Texture
Raw tape noise, distortion washes, analog hiss, and degraded texture beds.
43. Analog Obsession Free Tape & Saturation Samples
analogobsession.com/free-samples
Real analog saturation artifacts captured as usable one-shots and loops.
44. This Is Noise Inc – Free Industrial Samples
thisisnoiseinc.com/free-sound-packs
Harsh metallic percussion, machine hits, dystopian impacts.
45. University of Iowa Musical Instrument Samples
This academic archive contains cleanly recorded orchestral and world instruments: strings, winds, brass, percussion, and extended techniques. These are perfect for hybrid cinematic scoring, experimental resampling, granular orchestral textures, and spectral manipulation inside Beat DJ. Because the recordings are extremely clean, they also hold up brilliantly under heavy processing.
46. FreeSound Music Archive (Public Domain Tags)
freesound.org/search/?f=license:Creative+Commons+0
A filtered section of Freesound dedicated to completely unrestricted audio.
47. Databends & Glitches – Free Digital Error Packs
itch.io/game-assets/tag-glitch
Video game audio focused glitch, error tones, corrupted loops, and UI sound FX.
48. Orgone Accumulator Free Sound Lab
Abstract electro-acoustic noise, circuit-bent tones, and unstable oscillations.
49. Sample Magic Free Sound Vault
Highly polished genre packs used by professionals across electronic music.
50. BBC Sound Effects Archive
One of the most powerful free audio resources ever released. Thousands of broadcast-quality field recordings, machinery, crowds, animals, weather, and environments. These are invaluable for cinematic transitions, immersive ambient beds, sci-fi Foley work, and hybrid music/sound-design projects. These sounds excel when layered under synthetic elements to add realism and scale.
With this second batch of 25 packs, your Beat DJ sound library should now be packed with everything from modular chaos and cinematic field recordings to club-ready techno drums and organic acoustic sources. Combined with Part One, this gives you 50 powerful sound libraries to pull from. Covering nearly every corner of modern electronic and experimental music.
But we're only halfway there. Part Three will push the collection even further into rare archives, forgotten web gold, ultra-niche genre packs, and advanced sound-design tools for producers who want truly unique textures. If you're ready to go beyond the usual sample sources, the next list is where things get really interesting!
