Bontabulous Fabtraption captures the vintage analog sounds of the unique Bontempi HP 544-20. This Italian synthesizer was introduced to the market in the late 1970s. It featured a 49-key keyboard and drum/rhythm machine, as well as a variety of knobs and faders to control layer volume, instrument type, envelope, modulation and filter.

This release is part two of a two-part series (following West African Meditations) featuring folk instrumentation and free-flowing musical passages commonly used in West African traditions. Recorded and produced at La Boutique Studios Dakar by Pape Armand Boye, this collection provides further insights into the sonic experience of West African spirituality, where music is the centerpiece of celebrations and rituals. In this pack, you'll find West African rhythms, vocals, and instruments such as the balafon, ngoni, and kora. Plus, synths, guitars, drums, and percussion.

This pack was produced by Pape Armand Boye at Laboutique Studios in Dakar. This is a deep dive into the region of Fuuta in Senegal and represents the Pulaar ethnic group. Pape only worked with musicians from the Fuuta region to recreate sounds that represent their culture, heritage, and region.

This pack was recorded in Dakar at Laboutique Studios, produced by Pape Armand Boye. Working with musicians from the Casamance region - a tiny, isolated sliver of land below Gambia - this pack is a deep dive into the Diola ethnic music of the region’s people.

For this Splice Originals release, music producer Ray Luminais (Lil Wayne, Boosie, Ambre, Raw D.I, T Stead, Viacom, Mibe) zooms in on deep south trap music with a New Orleans twist. Influenced by the likes of Mannie Fresh, Zaytoven, 808 Mafia, and KLC, Ray combined his vocals with keys, analog, and digital synths to offer up a brooding, emotive collection of trap samples with that mystic NOLA magic.

Spring has sprung in the Western Hemisphere and we’re back outside capturing nature’s unfoldings as the temperatures rise once again. The Splice Originals team captured an extensive set of percussive nature sounds made with sticks and stones we found along a trail in rural Tennessee. Then we mined the archives for previously unheard field recordings from the forests and seasides of Northern California.

Musician Brandyn Burnette who performs as EMAN8 and collaborated on the Devine Vocal Emanations release joined us at Splice Studios NYC once again. For this pack, he dove into the sounds of future soul while tapping his Jamaican roots for unique inspiration. With one foot in the past and the other in the future, Brandyn brought his silky falsetto and tenor, which lend themselves to pop and R&B perfection. He came up with riffs, melodies, hooks, and adlibs on the spot that have instantaneous hit-making quality and genre-bending potential.

The Splice Originals crew teamed up with Jason Matthews on keys and Justin Andres on guitar to create a foundation of songs primed to be chopped, twisted, and screwed. Matthews and Andres worked remotely off of each other’s ideas, swapping melodies and riffs back and forth until they had complete songs. We then resampled and reworked their files, just as if we had found them in the dollar vinyl bin. The result is a mix of dark funk, lo-fi hip hop, and cinematic soul thrown in the blender. In addition to the keys and guitars, you’ll find banging hip hop drums to make this a full-on toolkit for making low-key bangers.

Sean Hutchinson has been a touring and recording member of the band Bleachers since 2014 and an active force on the New York City music scene since 2007. For this release, he recorded a bunch of drum breaks in his Brooklyn studio influenced by his jazz background, experience in pop and indie rock acts, and drummers he admires. The Splice Originals crew then put the sounds through an Ampex 440-B Tape Machine for a proper crunch at 7.5 inches per second. The result is banging drums dripping in saturation, grit, and unique lo-fi character.

Splice Originals producer Erick Bardales, who created the Sensaciones and La Formula packs, is serving up Caribbean vibes, honing in on his Honduran Caribbean roots. Growing up on the coast of Puerto Cortes, Honduras, Panamanian reggae and dancehall music resonated from every corner. It was hard not to be influenced by popular artists like El Rookie, El General, Danger Man, and Kafu Banton.

‘Issa’ Vibe 3’ is a continuation of the popular series. Its soulful fusion of modern RnB flavours and classic Afrobeat sauce utilises real instruments alongside electronic synthesis. The funky rhythms and musical excellence are enough to get anyone dancing.
