If you're looking for a Pack to start out new Tracks, this is what you looking for...
Those premade Drum Kits making the build for the 1st Track on the Ableton Move a joy, leaving you with 3 more Tracks to refine your build-up. Always keep in mind to try around with the 16-Pitch Variants of the delivered Samples, so you have the most utility out of it.
Also try to check on the FLOW Package of Techtronix, which is also very good.

Get this pack and head straight to the mixed kits! That is where the fun and magic begins, at least for me! Obviously the drift presets are welcoming and nice as well. I like the pads the most for my stuff! I always enjoy the packs from Techtronix! You won't be disappointed.
Upturn by Techtronix
With a hyper focus on syncopation and percussion, blending both rhythmic off kilt patterns with emotional counter melodies.
Drawing inspiration from a tonne of different Garage sub genres to create something bigger than sum of its parts Upturn takes you back to that “lost in time” garage feel.
With its hard swing, jazzy chords, vocal stabs and sub bass, Garage music has one of the most distinctive sound to any genre. Upturn Brings back both the nostalgia for the old UK Garage scene and elevates it to fit with a modern set of production sound design techniques.
Upturn is a love letter to UK Garage—syncopated drums, soulful chords, sub-focused bass, and vocal stabs that turn a groove into a moment. Drawing inspiration from the 2-step sound and artists like Burial and Disclosure, this pack balances nostalgia with modern production techniques tailored to Ableton Move and Ableton Note.
A hyper-focus on swing and percussion makes groove building effortless. The mixed kits bundle kicks, snares, hats, percussion, bass, chords, and vocals, so you can sketch an entire arrangement on a single track, then hot-swap kits to audition alternate flavors without breaking the flow.
Beyond drums, Upturn’s Drift patches, pads, and leads deliver the melodic glue: jazzy voicings, silky textures, and bass that lives in the low-end pocket. Whether you’re producing NUKG rollers, future-garage atmospheres, or live-performance sets, everything is synthesized and curated for speed, vibe, and mix readiness.
Pack Contents:
- 21 Ableton kits total
- 8 Mixed drum kits (vocals, bass, chords, drums; hot-swappable)
- 8 Full drum kits (kicks, snares, hats, percussion)
- 2 Chord kits (16 chords each: m7, 9th, 11th)
- 2 Bass kits (16 samples each)
- 1 Vocal drum rack (16 synthesized vocal stabs)
- 16 Sessions (available via the Ableton Note app)
- 35 Drift patches, 13 Sub/Reese bass patches, 9 Leads, 13 Pads
- ~240-sample percussion library
- All sounds synthesized specifically for this pack
Covering UK Garage, Speed Garage, 2-Step, Breakstep, Future Garage, and NUKG, Upturn gives you the swing, the sonics, and the speed to finish tracks—on the couch with Note or on stage with Move.
Write complete ideas on a single channel, mute parts on the fly for performance, then layer melodies with Drift—Upturn is your shortcut to authentic UKG feel with modern polish.
