HKV Scratch Loops: 20 Free Vinyl Scratch Samples for DnB and Heavy Club Music
A compact free scratch library with raw attitude, fast edits and instant rhythmic character.
HKV Scratch Loops is a free sample pack from We-Tweak featuring 20 scratch loops created by Akira from Hong Kong Violence. The collection is aimed at producers who want the movement and aggression of turntable cuts without having to record a scratch session from scratch. It is especially well suited to drum and bass, hardcore and other heavy club styles, but the loops can also be chopped into fills, transitions and rhythmic accents in hip-hop or electronic productions.
What Is Included?
The pack contains 20 raw scratch-loop samples. Instead of presenting polished melodic construction kits, it focuses on one specific production tool: scratch performances that can be dropped into a track, sliced into smaller gestures or rearranged into completely new patterns. That narrow focus makes the pack easy to browse and useful when a production needs a quick burst of human motion.
Built for DnB, Hardcore and Heavy Club Production
We-Tweak highlights hardcore, drum and bass and heavy club music as natural homes for these sounds. That makes sense: scratch cuts can reinforce fast drum programming, bridge sections before a drop or add rough texture over distorted bass design. Producers can also stretch, reverse, gate or re-pitch the loops to make them fit more experimental arrangements.
A Better Way to Use Scratch Loops
Rather than leaving every loop untouched, try slicing individual attacks and placing them around snares, fills and phrase endings. Short fragments often work better than a full loop because they create a call-and-response relationship with the drums. Another approach is to duplicate one scratch, pitch the copies differently and build a custom fill that still keeps the natural timing of the original performance.

Final Thoughts
HKV Scratch Loops is a focused freebie rather than an oversized sample library, and that is part of its appeal. Twenty well-chosen scratch performances are enough to add movement and character without burying producers in hundreds of near-identical files. Used as source material for edits and fills, it can become a useful little tool for aggressive electronic production.
