What it is
Dusty Gold is a sound expansion for XLN Audio's XO beat-making instrument, built by Radio Citizen's Niko Schabel from more than 20 years of dedicated vinyl collecting. It delivers 80+ presets and 188 one-shot samples drawn from dusty breaks, textured one-shots, and vintage-flavored loops, aimed at warm, crate-dug beats rather than clean, modern sample packs. The pack leans into cinematic soundscapes as much as straight-up beat loops, so it works for scoring moods as well as drum programming.
Who it's for
Producers who already own XLN Audio's XO instrument and want a vintage, sample-based texture in their beats - especially anyone working in lo-fi, hip-hop, Afrobeat, funk, soul, dub, or moody soundtrack-style production. It's a good fit for beatmakers who like layering found-sound character into their tracks rather than starting from pristine synth patches.
Key features
- Requires the XLN Audio XO software instrument, sold separately
- Includes over 80 presets and 188 one-shot samples curated by Niko Schabel of Radio Citizen
- Spans genres from lo-fi, hip-hop, and Afrobeat to dub, kraut, jazz, funk, soul, and blaxploitation soundtracks
