Enigma - Sadeness Beat (Loopable)

Here's a sample of the classic Sadeness drum beat, almost 3 minutes long and ready to be looped. It was isolated using Sony's Sound Forge, then using the same program I eliminated certain frequencies to make it more of a generic beat. Here's the download link, in WAV format, on Mediafire: /?9vdkzutyb4cl26v Enjoy!
Edit: I am aware of the fact that the sample needs improvement, especially regarding the mid-range frequencies. More especifically yet, remmnants of the "Procedamus in pace" bit. It was impossible for me to get rid of it without messing too much with the EQ, making the rest of the loop sound like crap.

One of the best drum loops in all of history.

[@andremedotcom]

Cheers dude. I love this one. It was big in the late 80s/early 90s, with the whole New Age thing and Enigma in particular. Going to play around with it for a while :)

[@Galidorquest]

Badass beat...

[@francosierra47]

Ese golpe tiene algo especial...Michael cretu se lo pensó muy bien..cierra tus ojos y la música suena en tu cabeza.

[@exionem]

Desde 1990 quedó grabado en mi este sample de percusión. Magico!

[@MiekWave]

Korg Wavestation (released in 1990) Card 4 Patch Program 40 has this exact beat.

[@hotsince84]

I tried the VST version, but nothing close ;) Do you have the loop? Can you export by any chance?

[@dmitrysnow8504]

It's not the same

[@joorchampi3346]

😆 I HAD THE WAVESTATION, THIS RITHEM IS A COMBINATION OF ROLAND 909, LINNDRUM AND SAMPLES... NO KORG WAVESTAION!!!!!!!

[@scorepiano]

Anyone knows how to make that gated reverb or echo snare sound effect? Exactly

[@esparzamiguel]

Do this drumbreak has a name? TR909 that's it?

[@Mr-.T]

*Indeed*

[@LyuboKostadinov]

thanks a lot man! I'll play around with it

[@stuckinda8Os]

You're welcome! Just a thought: You might want to adjust the mid frequencies to further minimize the lingering chorus on the sample, although if you're planning on put other instrument or voice tracks on top of it that shouldn't be too big of an issue.

[@LyuboKostadinov]

Thanks for the tip, I'll try.

[@workinprogress7857]

Thanks for just what I'm going use on my vid of this song , simple banging

[@mtjoy747]

When the lyrics are explicit but in Latin so most don't have a clue what is being said or about the Count de Sade anyway, LOL, that's what makes the popularity of this track all the more special...

[@JohnPaulBuce]

TR-909 + Keep On Moving

[@ArwenEvenstar2003]

This drum beat is in every rnb song in 1989-1993 even Tevin Campbell himself got a song with this beat

[@turntableandcassette]

Soul II Soul - Keep on Moving for a cleaner loop.

[@hotsince84]

It's not the same. Same pattern but different drum machine which means it's not sample but interpolation

[@MacStoker]

@@hotsince84 so similar yet so much different atmospheres, both brilliant

[@nicholaskolaric343]

@@hotsince84 It's the one in the extended version, not the radio version.

Hey stuckinda80s!It's sounds awesome! can you please tell me how to make beats like yours?I downloaded korg wavestation but I can't make the sounds like yours, hi-hats, snare for example. Can you please tell me? I've been search so much time to learn how to make enigma's sadeness loop, it's all in vain. I will be very appreciate if you tell me more details!!

[@NexusMusic1988]

who know how to create hi hats in this loop? where to find lessons?

[@RaverboySubbie]

thanks a bunch bro

[@NonzyNu]

Hi, I cant download it... link is not there. what shall i do? and can you please help me with other samples for Enigma? I want to start working on a very special project to my heart and I am new to this.. I need some other sounds from some tracks... hope you can help me :)

[@stuckinda8Os]

Hi. The link still works. All you have to do is paste it at the end of Mediafire's URL.

[@stefanmuller1269]

First song with this beat from 1984, Dennis Edwards, Dont look any further? Am I right?

[@JohnPaulBuce]

Soul II Soul - Keep On Movin'

[@struggler7079]

Whats this genre of music called???

[@johnnypal716]

Now I’d do ANYTHING to ID a record from about 1996-97 that was all females, lots of moaning, a trip hop and “alternative” feel… (think Luscious Jackson but moodier) I can’t summon up anything more specific- but this was the drum loop! Shot in the dark….

[@userChittelly]

Something there is no link !!! ???

[@OrganicChamistry]

So, if I do music with this beat, will Mr. Cretu sue me? FYI: I do not have anything in my bank account.

[@OrganicChamistry]

I got the VST form of Korg Wavestation and yes this beat is on it. Do you know any other keyboards that he used to make Album 1 and 2? Do you by any chance have some of the samples that he used, or any information on how to get them? Thanks.

[@stuckinda8Os]

I do not have any of his samples, and seems like he uses A LOT of different keyboards. I've found this, I hope it helps: equipboard.com/pros/michael-cretu www.whosampled.com/Michael-Cretu/producer/

[@OrganicChamistry]

Great info! Many thanks.

[@radonegundo1906]

Hi. Beat - Korg Wavestation (beat processed with ensemble FX and many mastering devices). Shakuhachi flute - EMU Emulator II (samples processed - to be shorter start). Bells and pads - Korg M1 (or Roland JV series - I'm not sure). Best Regards.

[@stuckinda8Os]
