Native Instruments releases hand-crafted sounds from an LA mastermind who has worked with the likes of 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Logic, Nipsey Hussle, and many more. Expect smooth funk, vintage synth tones, and hard-hitting live drums from a master of the craft.

This is the second edition of Native Instrument’s Artist Expansions, a new artist-created series which channels the signature sounds and leading music producers, sharing their own production toolkits with the world.

Years in the making, Artist Expansion: DJ Khalil sees the producer share a range of sounds that underpin his approach and signature West Coast style. DJ Khalil shares his distinct method for creating, recording, and sampling. From recordings of his personal synth collection, to live musicians from his studio sessions, DJ Khalil has created a comprehensive library dripping with his signature vintage feel.

The Expansion comes packed with almost 300 melodic samples and loops, 25 MASCHINE kits, and 34 BATTERY kits full of grooved-up bass, live drums, and one-of-a-kind synth samples. DJ Khalil also lets us inside his process, giving us insights into his sound design with original presets for MONARK.

Artist Expansion: DJ Khalil joins a growing range of over 60 Expansions. These sound packs contain everything a musician needs to create a full track in a specific style, and can be used in any DAW.

Artist Expansion: DJ Khalil is available now exclusive at the Native Instruments Online Shop for $49 / 49 € / £44 / ¥ 6,280 / AU$ 79.
