Vengeance Sound (formerly Vengeance Samples) is a German-based sample label founded by producer Manuel Schleis.

Their signature sound is aggressive, highly compressed, “ready-for-club” material. Many top producers (from David Guetta to Skrillex early in their careers) have used Vengeance loops and one-shots.

However, this ubiquity birthed a double-edged sword. As the packs became industry standard, they also became clichés. Dedicated sample-spotters could identify specific hi-hat patterns or snare sounds instantly. The "Big Room" genre, in particular, became heavily reliant on a very specific subset of Vengeance samples, leading to criticisms that the genre was becoming homogenized.
