The Native Instruments MPC Expansion Global Shake is an expansion for Akai MPC Pro hardware and software that delivers the sound of authentic contemporary African club music. Offering styles like Afrobeats, gqom, kuduro, kizomba, and Afro house. You get 64 BATTERY kits and 52 MASCHINE kits arranged for quick rhythm building and melodic layering, so ideas move fast from sketch to arrangement. Exclusive guitars, vocals, and percussion performed by top players add human feel and tonal richness, recorded in Ghana, Cape Verde, and South Africa for genuine regional character. New presets for MASSIVE, MONARK, and REAKTOR PRISM provide bright leads and sturdy basses that sit cleanly with busy drums, helping hooks land without wrestling the mix.
Global Shake also reflects how Afro-influenced club sounds travel and evolve, following scenes and flavours reaching the UK, Lisbon, London, New York, and beyond. That range makes it easy to shift from rolling, percussive grooves to more melodic, vocal-led ideas using the same toolkit. Each kit is built for bounce and momentum, so finger-drumming or step-programming feels immediate. The expansion is formatted for Akai Pro MPC hardware, loading smoothly on units like MPC Key 37, MPC One+, and MPC X Special Edition, so you can jump straight into building patterns, resampling, and arranging on the device. Whether you need a full kit to start a track or a few choice elements to lift a chorus, the content is ready to drop in and work, keeping you focused on feel, timing, and song progress rather than setup.
