DnB has split into more flavours than any other genre out there. Liquid, Neurofunk, Jungle, Minimal, Halftime, Jump-Up, Deep, Atmospheric, the list keeps going.
Each one has its own bass design DNA, and that’s where Serum 2 comes in. The new granular and spectral oscillators are basically a goldmine for DnB producers because so much of modern DnB is built on resampling and twisted bass design.
Whether you’re chasing the Noisia, Mefjus, Spor sound, the soulful Lane 8, London Elektricity vibe, or that classic Goldie, Roni Size jungle aesthetic, having the right Serum 2 preset pack saves you weeks of trial and error. Personally I think preset packs are one of the best ways to learn DnB sound design too, you load up a patch, see how it’s wired, and start understanding why a Reese sounds like a Reese.
Here are the best Serum 2 preset packs for Drum & Bass, covering Neurofunk, Liquid, Jungle, Minimal, and Deep DnB. Image credits go to Loopmasters.
1. DABRO IFSET: Serum 2 Presets
If you’re into the engineered, mechanical side of DnB, this is the one. IFSET (Interface Frequency Set) is built by NAIS under DABRO Music, and the whole concept is treating bass design like circuitry, every waveform calculated, every preset doing one specific job.
You get 67 Serum 2 presets focused on Reese basses, deep subs, and sharp metallic synths, plus a stack of bass loops to hear them in context. The whole pack is locked at 174 BPM for Neurofunk, Techstep, Halftime, and Deep DnB.
The sound is clean, harmonically focused, and built for motion. I love how disciplined the bass design is here, it sounds like it was assembled in a lab rather than tweaked into existence. Don’t sleep on this if you want phase-aligned, frequency-balanced bass tones that sit in a mix without fighting anything.
Pros: Engineered, phase-aligned bass design plus 85 demo loops for fast workflow. Cons: Locked at 174 BPM, narrow Neurofunk/Techstep focus.
2. Singomakers Serum 2 Neurofunk Presets
This one’s been stress-tested against the heavyweight standards of Noisia, Mefjus, Burr Oak, Audio, and Current Value, which is basically a who’s who of Neurofunk. Singomakers know their stuff with sample packs, and this Serum 2 pack carries that reputation forward.
You get 100 Serum 2 patches split between venomous basses, razor-edged synths, cinematic pads and FX hits, plus 100 matching MIDI files and 100 rendered WAV loops for instant drag-and-drop ideas. There’s also 54 bonus loops covering drums, basses, synths, and FX.
The bass design here pushes Serum 2’s engine hard, evolving Reeses, biomechanical stabs, FM-warped growls. For me the matching MIDI is what makes this a workflow weapon, you don’t just get sounds, you get musical ideas you can swap and stack in seconds.
Pros: 100 macro-mapped patches with matching MIDI and WAV loops built for Noisia-level Neurofunk. Cons: Bass-heavy split, fewer pads and atmospheric content.
3. OneZero Samples Liquid DnB Expressions
Now we’re switching lanes. If Neurofunk is about aggression, Liquid is about warmth and emotion, and Liquid DnB Expressions by OneZero Samples is built from the ground up in Serum 2 specifically for that vibe.
Inside you’ll find 101 Serum 2 presets covering lush pads, smooth basses, evolving plucks, expressive leads, airy keys, and musical soundscapes that sit effortlessly in a mix. Each preset has clearly mapped macros for quick shaping, plus there’s 101 matching WAV files and a stack of bonus bass, drum, and synth loops.
This is the one for deep rollers, soulful steppers, and melodic halftime in the Lane 8 / London Elektricity / Nu:Tone territory. Personally this is one of my favorite Liquid DnB Serum packs out there, the sounds breathe in a way most Neuro packs just can’t.
Pros: Lush, expressive presets built ground-up in Serum 2 with bonus loops and matching WAVs. Cons: Liquid-only focus, not for harder DnB styles.
4. DABRO Nais Neurofunk Serum 2
Bass artillery, that’s the best way to describe this one. Nais Neurofunk Serum 2 by DABRO Music packs over 100 Neurofunk presets, with the bulk of them being filthy, grimy bass sounds geared toward modern rollers.
You get 80 bass presets alongside synths, sequences, stabs, and design patches, plus a bonus folder of bass hits, drum loops, percussion, and FX from the demo. 174 BPM standard, like every Neurofunk pack should be.
Don’t be fooled by the Neurofunk title either, those bass presets work for plenty of bass-heavy genres beyond DnB. I love how the FX and synth sections are designed as aggressive layers to sit on top of the basses, that’s exactly how modern Neuro is built.
Pros: Massive 80-preset bass arsenal plus complementary synths and bonus drum content. Cons: Mostly bass, very few pads or atmospheric tools.
5. OneZero Ambient Jungle – Serum 2 Presets
Jungle gets its own pack here, and it’s a beautiful one. Ambient Jungle – Serum 2 Presets by OneZero Samples is built for producers who thrive on lush atmospheres, emotive melodies, and heavyweight low-end.
You get 107 Serum 2 presets covering bass, FX, hoovers, keys, pads, plucks, soundscapes, stabs, and synths, plus 107 matching WAV files and 9 bonus drum loops. The pack blends classic jungle soul with contemporary sound design.
Expect deep evolving basses, dreamy pads, shimmering keys, dusty breaks, textured FX. For me the inclusion of dedicated hoovers is a nice touch, that classic jungle hoover sound is hard to nail and they’ve done the work for you. Don’t sleep on this if you produce jungle, liquid, or atmospheric DnB and want presets that actually breathe.
Pros: Classic jungle soul meets modern sound design with dedicated hoovers and lush atmospheric content. Cons: Less aggressive bass, may not suit harder Neuro styles.
6. DABRO Cthon: Serum 2 Presets
Going dark with this one. Cthon: Serum 2 Presets by DABRO Music is crafted by NAIS (releases on Eatbrain and Kosen Production, tracks like “Selecta” and “Obscura Bass”) and it’s a deep dive into the dark side of Bass Music.
You get 81 Serum 2 presets plus 81 ready-made loops demonstrating each preset in context. The focus is maximum density, fatness, and primal energy, exactly what you’d expect from an Eatbrain-affiliated producer.
Personally this is one for producers who refuse to compromise on low-frequency pressure. The dark aesthetic suits creating atmospheric yet devastatingly powerful tracks, and those NAIS bass tones cut through any mix.
Pros: NAIS-designed dark, dense bass presets with matching loops for instant context. Cons: Bass-only focus, no pads or melodic content.
7. VISLA DnB Bass Essentials – Serum 2 Presets
Straight from a Critical Music artist’s studio. VISLA – Bass Essentials is built by VISLA, who’s released on Critical Music, Overview, Vision, and Truth Hertz, and it’s a focused collection of modern DnB presets built exclusively for Serum 2.
Inside you get 70 Serum 2 presets covering bass, drum patches, FX, pads, and leads, with the bulk being deep subs, gritty Reeses, punchy mids, and flexible bass textures. Plus there’s 70 matching WAV files and 59 bonus processed WAV files for extra material.
Every sound is engineered to hit hard while sitting cleanly in the mix, no excess. I love how focused this is, when a Critical Music artist puts out a preset pack you’re getting the actual tools they use in their tracks. Don’t sleep on this for contemporary Neuro, techy steppers, and club-ready cuts.
Pros: Critical Music artist-designed bass essentials with macro control for fast tweaking. Cons: Smaller pack, bass-focused only.
8. OneZero Deep Minimal DnB Serum 2 Presets
Minimal DnB is its own thing, less about hitting hard and more about space and groove. Deep Minimal DnB Serum 2 Presets by OneZero Samples is precision-engineered exactly for that, and it’s the first pack in their Serum 2 line.
You get 75 Serum 2 presets covering arps, basses, synths, drums, and FX, plus 75 matching WAV files for drag-and-drop usability. Expect deep subs, techy stabs, hypnotic sequences, and stripped-back bass tones.
This is for producers who value space, groove, and surgical sound design rather than wall-of-sound aggression. Personally this is the pack for anyone making Dispatch, Sofa Sound, or Flexout-style minimal DnB, the aesthetic is exactly right. For me the dedicated arps section is a nice touch, those hypnotic sequences are at the heart of minimal DnB.
Pros: Macro-mapped minimal DnB presets designed for tight grooves and abstract halftime rollers. Cons: Stripped-back focus, not for big drops or aggressive bass.
9. DABRO Vritra: Serum 2 Presets
Closing with another NAIS pack, this one wider in scope. Vritra: Serum 2 Presets by DABRO Music delivers dark, heavyweight bass with a solid groove, crafted for DnB, Neurofunk, Dubstep, Riddim, Trap, and Bass House.
You get 76 Serum 2 presets covering subs, Reeses, growls, mids, leads, and FX, plus 76 preview loops, 25 bass loops, and 14 drum loops at 175 BPM. The presets are voiced for weight and clarity, with modulation ranges that respond well to automation and parallel processing.
I love how versatile this one is, you can use it across multiple bass-driven genres rather than being locked to one. For me Vritra is the more flexible NAIS pack compared to Cthon, you get the same quality of bass design but across more sonic territory.
Pros: 76 NAIS-designed presets covering DnB, Dubstep, Riddim, and Bass House. Cons: Spread across genres, less DnB-specific than Cthon or IFSET.
