In March 2019, Myspace announced that all the music stored on their database since before 2015 had been permanently deleted due to supposed professional negligence. About 50 million songs produced by around 14 million artists were gone for ever. The Internet Archive –a library that preserves digital files– managed to recover 450,000 of the lost songs and compiled them into a vast archive named 'Myspace Dragon Hoard'.

This sample pack contains 350 .WAV files that were created out of songs that were lost by Myspace but, gladly, recovered by The Internet Archive. You will find all kind of sounds to work with your DAW, Sampler or Tracker of preference. The quality of the samples is really diverse, since some come from really commercial, and therefore produced tunes, and other from genuine lo-fi indie recordings. I prefered not to process them a lot, in terms of compression and EQ, so you'll have more freedom and fun while trying to come up with your own sound.
There are lots of synths and pad-like instruments, a few basses and kicks, choirs and solo voices, all kind of percussions, plenty of guitars and pianos, strings and winds, and even some FX. I've also included a few loops that I came up with while exporting the samples. Most of the samples were processed digitally, but some of them were created using analog devices (such as multi-track tape recorders, hardware filters and effect pedals).
For me, eventhough it is also important, it is not that much about the quality of their sound, but what these samples mean conceptually. I can't help it but to feel excited when I am using them in a new project and I remember that all instruments come from songs from all around the world, that were about to be lost forever, but were saved miracously.
Anyway, I hope this pack will help you create something new and fun! It is the first sample pack I've ever made, so I am happy to hear some feedback:
