Honey – Vintage Soul Sessions is a 60s and 70s soul-inspired sample pack designed for hip-hop, boom bap, lo-fi, neo-soul and sample-based production. It features warm keys, dusty vocals, guitars, bass, strings, tape texture and musical loops made to be chopped, flipped, resampled or built into full tracks.
In this Honey – Vintage Soul Sessions walkthrough, I take you inside my latest Tangerine Sounds sample pack and show what’s included, how the files are organised, and how you can use the loops, stems and processed versions in your own beats.
Watch the Honey – Vintage Soul Sessions Walkthrough
In the new walkthrough video, I go through the pack in Logic and show the different types of files included in Honey – Vintage Soul Sessions.
The premium version includes 10 original vintage soul-inspired tracks, each with its own folder of musical material. Inside, you’ll find full songstarters, shorter loops, stems, melodic stacks and vocal parts.
The idea is to give producers more than just a single stereo loop. You can use the full songstarter as inspiration, chop the shorter loops, pull out individual stems, or combine different parts to create something completely new.

What’s Included in Honey – Vintage Soul Sessions?
The premium version of Honey includes several different folders of material, designed to give you a flexible set of sounds to work with.
Inside the pack you’ll find:
- 10 original vintage soul-inspired tracks
- Full songstarter-style samples
- Shorter loop versions
- Individual stems
- Bass, guitar, keys, organ and other instrument parts
- Melodic stacks
- Dry and effected vocals
- Reel-to-reel tape processed versions
- Boss SP-303 vinyl simulation versions
- Cassette tape processed versions
- Sample chops for faster hip-hop and boom bap ideas
The loops are labelled with key and tempo, so you can quickly drag them into your DAW and start building.
Tape, SP-303 and Cassette Versions
One of the main things I wanted from this pack was texture.
A lot of modern sample packs sound very clean and polished, but I wanted Honey to have more of that warm, imperfect, slightly worn character you hear in old soul records.
That’s why I created multiple processed versions of the loops.
Some were run through reel-to-reel tape, giving them extra warmth, low-end weight and a softer top end. Others were processed through a Boss SP-303 using the vinyl simulation effect, giving you that dusty sampler character associated with classic lo-fi and hip-hop production.
There are also cassette tape versions, including normal speed, slower and faster variations, so you can pick the version that fits your track or resample them further.
How to Use the Pack Creatively
In the walkthrough, I also show a few ways you can use the samples in Logic.
One simple approach is to drag an audio loop straight into your DAW and time-stretch it to fit your project tempo.
Another option is to use a sample-chopping plugin like Momentum by Big Fish Audio. In the video, I use Momentum to slice up different loops and trigger them from MIDI, creating a new beat from several separate samples in the pack.
This is where the pack becomes especially useful.
You don’t have to use the loops exactly as they are. You can chop them, pitch them, filter them, add delay to certain slices, combine stems from different tracks, or use a vocal phrase as the starting point for something completely different.
The goal is to give you musical ideas that feel inspiring straight away, but still leave enough room for you to make them your own.
Early Producer Feedback
It’s still early days for Honey – Vintage Soul Sessions, but the first bit of feedback has been really encouraging.
A few producers have already started listening through the pack, exploring the loops and trying out the different versions. I’ll be adding more feedback to the product page as it comes in, especially from producers who have had chance to use the sounds in finished tracks or beat-making sessions.
One of the most useful things for me is hearing how different producers approach the pack — whether they’re using the full songstarters, chopping individual loops, working with the vocal parts, or reaching for the tape, cassette and SP-303 versions for extra texture.
Watch Its Jonno Use the Pack
YouTube creator Its Jonno has also used Honey – Vintage Soul Sessions in a beat-making video, building a track from the pack and showing how quickly the samples can be chopped, pitched and arranged into a full idea.
In the video, he digs into the different sample versions, picks out a loop, chops it up, pitches it, adds drums and bass, and turns it into a finished beat.
It’s always interesting to see how another producer approaches the same material, especially because sample packs are really just starting points. The fun is in how you chop, flip, pitch, filter and arrange the sounds into something that feels like your own.

Why I Made Honey – Vintage Soul Sessions
Honey came out of my interest in old soul records and the way hip-hop producers have always found new life in them.
I wasn’t trying to recreate any one record directly. Instead, I wanted to study the feel of that era: the warm Rhodes-style keys, the jazz-soul harmony, the space in the arrangements, the dusty textures, and the way vocals can become part of the musical atmosphere.
The result is a pack of original loops and songstarters that are designed to feel vintage-inspired, but are completely original and ready to use in your own productions.
