Da Rock Files by Rockwilder

90s Hip Hop and R&B beats from era-defining producer Rockwilder

This XO Expansion's hard-hitting drums and infectious grooves were created by seminal trailblazer Rockwilder, one of the late 90's most prominent producers.

Grammy award-winning producer Rockwilder is a seminal force in the East Coast Hip Hop scene, heavily influenced by the raw, sample-based production of the 90s. His knack for futuristic, club-friendly hits set him apart from other producers of the era.

Uncover the DNA of Rockwilder's grooves by exploring the XO sequencer: unlike generic loops, you will see exactly how the beats get their bounce, by nudging of individual tracks, groove templates, where accents are placed, and so much more.
