Essence of Music has 2 kits. Which one are you referring to? The professional or the one half the cost? 
Freak Me Out
Six Degrees 100, from Six Degrees Records. Some years back I purchased a cd online and was sent a free Six Degrees sampler along with it. Ended up getting on their website and bought 5 more. Lots of different textures, excellent recordings.
