Upturn by Techtronix

UK Garage is built on feel—that unmistakable pocket where syncopated drums lock with sub bass, jazzy chords ghost between the beats, and vocal stabs turn a groove into a moment. Upturn by Techtronix is a love letter to that sound: a meticulously crafted Ableton pack drawing inspiration from 2-step, Speed Garage, NUKG, and Future Garage, designed to put authentic UKG production at your fingertips whether you’re building tracks on Ableton Note, performing live on Ableton Move, or producing in full sessions.

What Is Upturn?

Upturn is a comprehensive UK Garage sample pack and instrument collection for Ableton Live, Ableton Note, and Ableton Move. With a hyper-focus on syncopation, swing, and percussion, every element has been synthesised specifically for this pack—no recycled loops, no off-the-shelf presets. Drawing from a broad palette of Garage sub-genres, from classic 2-step and Speed Garage through to Breakstep and modern NUKG rollers, Upturn creates something bigger than the sum of its parts: the lost-in-time garage feel, elevated with contemporary production techniques.

Hard swing, soulful chord voicings, sub-focused bass, and synthesised vocal stabs define the sonic character of UK Garage, and Upturn delivers all of it in a format built for speed, vibe, and mix readiness. Whether you’re sketching out a full arrangement on a single channel or layering melodic textures with Drift patches on stage, Upturn gives you the tools to move fast without sacrificing authenticity.

Key Features

21 Ableton kits spanning drums, bass, chords, vocals, and mixed formats
8 Mixed drum kits combining vocals, bass, chords, and drums in a single hot-swappable rack
8 Full drum kits with kicks, snares, hats, and percussion
2 Chord kits with 16 chords each, covering m7, 9th, and 11th voicings
2 Bass kits with 16 samples each
1 Vocal drum rack featuring 16 synthesised vocal stabs
16 Sessions available via the Ableton Note app
35 Drift patches, 13 Sub and Reese bass patches, 9 Leads, 13 Pads
Approximately 240-sample percussion library
All sounds synthesised specifically for Upturn—nothing recycled, nothing generic

How It Works

Upturn is structured around speed and workflow. The Mixed kits bundle kicks, snares, hats, percussion, bass, chords, and vocals into a single channel, allowing you to sketch a complete arrangement without ever switching tracks. Hot-swap between kits to audition alternate flavours instantly—same groove, different vibe—without breaking your flow. On Ableton Note, the 16 included Sessions let you start building ideas immediately, optimised for the app’s channel-based workflow. On Ableton Move, mute parts on the fly for live performance moments that feel genuinely dynamic.

Beyond the drums, Upturn’s Drift patches, pads, and leads provide the melodic glue that defines the emotional side of UK Garage. Jazzy voicings, silky textures, and sub bass that sits deep in the low-end pocket—these are the sounds that transform a drum pattern into a complete track. The Reese and Sub bass patches cover everything from classic Speed Garage wobble through to the cleaner sub rolls of NUKG production.

The Vibe: Who Is Upturn For?

Upturn is for producers who love UK Garage in all its forms. If you grew up on classic 2-step and want to bring that nostalgia into a modern workflow, Upturn bridges the gap. If you’re deep in NUKG, Future Garage, or Breakstep and need a pack that truly understands the subgenres rather than approximating them, Upturn was built for you. It works equally well for live performers looking for a full performance toolkit on Ableton Move, and for bedroom producers building polished tracks on Note or Live. The swing, the sonics, and the speed are all here.
