The year is 1994. The pilot episode of Friends has just debuted on NBC, Nelson Mandela has been elected president of South Africa and you’re a young and aspiring producer who has just gotten your hands on ‘ReCycle – the perfect tool for sampled grooves’.

These days, it’s less ‘perfect tool for sampled grooves' and more 'old-school-tool for sampled grooves’. But back when it was originally released, this sample tool was the go-to for producing grassroots electronic genres of the 90’s. Almost 30 years later we gave it hi-res graphics, made it compatible with Apple Silicon and added some back-end stuff for performance. An ode to all the legendary producers and artists that kept ReCycle alive throughout the years.

Before giving our beloved ReCycle a facelift, we asked ourselves “does ReCycle have a place in today’s musical landscape?”.

We think it does. And even if it didn’t, ReCycle just refuses to die. After all these years, many people swear by ReCycle as their go-to sample tool, and given the cultural time capsule that it is today we want new generations to be able to experience what the workflow was like 30 years ago.

Slice your sampled loops and turn them from rigid recordings to flexible musical elements that blend seamlessly with your music. ReCycle slices loops into their rhythmical components, letting you quantize, rearrange or totally reimagine your sampled grooves.

Maybe you’ll fall in love with its old-school workflow. Maybe you’ll use it once, smile, and go back to your usual ways. Either way, we’re giving everyone a chance to experience a tool that helped shape modern sampling into what we’ve come to know today.
