Yes, all of my sample packs are 100% royalty-free. However for a few of them I ask you to give proper credit only in case of a major placements (songs played on radio, TV, or expected to surpass 1,000,000 streams on any platform). I always state that in the description of a product. I will NOT require any additional payments.
Please note: "Royalty-free" means you can use the samples in your music - even for commercial purposes (like stock music, аdvertisment , beats for sale, or your own releases) - without paying any extra royalties. However, it does not mean you can claim the content as your own. In other words, you're not allowed to redistribute, resell, or upload any of the content (including free MIDI/sample packs) to other websites.
In such cases, I will file a DMCA report with the platform or hosting provider.

When you buy a pack from me, the price includes a license to use the samples/loops/midi etc. in your music releases, royalty-free. Please keep your license number as proof of purchase. Same goes for the free downloads.
-
You will receive either a .zip or .rar archive file, depending on the size. I suggest you use a software like 7zip to extract the files, as it is free and also what has been used to create the archives in the first place. Other software should be fine too as long as it supports ZIP and RAR files. You can download a file up to 3 times. If you have any issues with your downloads, please contact me.

My free packs (like the Balkan Midi Pack Free Vol. 3 for example) contain a 100% original content and are 100% royalty-free. You are free to use the sounds in your music productions, including commercial projects. However, you may not use any of the sounds in other sample packs or to redistribute them on other websites.
My demo kits are not royalty-free and are provided for demonstration purposes only. They contain a small preview of the full sample pack to help you evaluate its content before making a purchase. You are not permitted to use any of the sounds in your music productions - whether for commercial or non-commercial projects - without first purchasing a license for the full version. This will be stated either in the license agreement PDF inside the download or on the product page.

Unfortunately, I am not going to be able, in most cases, to issue refunds once you have downloaded the file after purchase.
Under EU law, customers typically have the right to cancel a contract of sale within fourteen days. However, this does not apply to digital downloads such as sample packs and software. Once the product has been downloaded, it cannot be “returned.”
Additionally, for sample packs and loops, a virtual license to use the content royalty-free in your music is transferred to you upon completing your purchase. Therefore, you do not have the right to cancel an order once the product has been downloaded.
To ensure satisfaction before purchasing:
- Listen to the detailed demo provided for every sample pack.
- If a product is labeled as a "construction kit", you will receive the stems of the songs heard in the demo.
- If a product is labeled as a "loop kit", you will receive high-quality WAV files of the exact sounds heard in the demo (and MIDI files of the melodies, if included).
- If a product is labeled as a "MIDI pack", you will receive the exact MIDI files used to create the melodies from the demo (WAV loops may also be included, depending on the pack).
- Some packs include a free demo kit so you can evaluate the content before making a purchase.
Please take advantage of these resources to ensure the product meets your expectations before buying.

Yes, in addition to selling sample packs - primarily inspired by Balkan and Oriental music - I also release my own music and music for other artists!
For Artists:
If you create music featuring unique ethnic elements - whether it’s folklore from different parts of the world or other world music influences - feel free to contact me and send a demo. I am always open to explore a new collaborations and would love to hear your ideas.
For Producers (e.g., Beatstars Sellers):
If you’re a music producer selling beats and are interested in my sound, I am open to collaboration. I can create custom loops specifically for you and split the profits from sales. We (my and some of my musician/singer friends) specialize, although not limited to Balkan-inspired loops (Bulgarian, Albanian, Turkish, etc.) and can also record live ethnic instruments like the kaval or provide original folklore vocals for your projects.
We’re always interested in fresh ideas and unique collaborations—don’t hesitate to reach out!

My name is Taffo Velikoff, based in Dobrich (Bulgaria), and I am an indie music producer and also tech lead (software developer) with Soundplate. I currently own this little "net label" - as I call it - Lazura Music and I release music with Balkan and world influence from artists such as Neznaen, Vanya Triffonova and others. I also used to release my own music some years ago under "Taffo Velikoff", previously as Digital Nottich. In the past I produced songs for popular Bulgarian artists, like "100 Gaidi" by 100 Kila and "Babuli Jabulah" ft. Rick Ross. And, of course, I love creating sample packs - often inspired by the music of my home region - the Balkans, whether it's folklore or modern popular music.

You can contact me about anything - weather you have questions about the sample packs, licensing or you want to collaborate. I am very friendly and try to respond as soon as possible (usually within a few hours). The best way is to drop an email using my contact form. You can also try my Instagram or Lazura Music Instagram, but I may be a bit slower there as I am not as active on social media.

Lazura Music
Lazura Music is my sample pack and music label, focused primarily on world fusion music - especially from the Balkans. Based in Bulgaria, right in the heart of the region, this kind of music holds a special place in my heart.
If you're a producer looking for Balkan-inspired samples, ornament-rich MIDI packs, ethnic drum kits, oriental loops, free Balkan sample packs, or premium sounds inspired by Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Albania, Greece, Turkey, and beyond - this is the right place. I also love exploring lesser-known genres popular in the region, like Tallava, Pop-Folk, Balkan Pop, and folklore fused with Reggaeton, EDM, House, and Trap.
My sample packs, loop kits, and drum kits often include odd time signature drum loops like 9/8, 7/8, and 11/8, as well as unique Balkan loops, percussion loops, and melodic phrases that add a rich, regional character to your tracks. These sounds are designed to give your music an authentic ethnic touch while still working seamlessly in modern productions.
All packs are fully compatible with major DAWs like FL Studio, Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, Reason, Studio One, and more. Everything is organized and delivered in flexible formats - WAV (dry and wet), MIDI, loops, and stems - so you can easily fit them into your workflow.
