Splice Originals: Psychedelic Cumbia was produced in Columbia by Ernesto Santos and a team of cumbia performers who’ve been playing the style for years. Inspired by acts like Los Mirlos, Los Destellos, Los Hijos Del Sol, and Los Diablos Rojos, they focused on the rock-influenced psychedelic cumbia that came out of Peru and Colombia in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.
Find traditional cumbia rhythms crafted with congas, cowbells, güiro, timbales, and cymbals alongside the organ, guitar, bass, and synth loops that define surf rock. Combined, these instruments create acid-tinged grooves that could be dragged and dropped to form a surf film score or injected into your next rap, pop, rock, or dance track for something unexpected.

Traktrain has released the “Dead End” guitar loop kit made by an affiliated producer. The author recorded the samples in a studio and processed by different effects. So the 100 total files include both dry and wet versions. Above all, the creator intended the contents of this kit to be used in genres like Chill Hip-Hop, Trap, and Phonk. However, a seasoned producer can easily fit them into Emo Rap or any Hip-Hop type beat.
Most of the included loops are very lyrical in nature. The wide-spanning melodies envelop the listener, inviting the mood of meditation and introspection. On the other hand, there are also some upbeat and energetic samples filled with bold and elated riffs and melodies. What is more, the use of different effects helps back it up: soft delays and granular reverbs emphasize the hypnosis of the sorrowful loops, overdrive and distortion bring out the punch in the cheerful ones. So if you found yourself in a creative dead end, do not hesitate to try out this loop kit, it will help you to retrace your steps and get out.

MDPI Hip-Hop, Art, and Visual Culture – Connections, Influences & Critical Discussions PDF
The seminal origins of this book-length printed edition of Arts focusing on hip-hop, art, and visual culture are difficult to pin down. Tracing the beginnings of even a small slice of hip-hop culture (music, for instance) is not an easy endeavor. Such origins are largely described through oral histories, leaving some room for debate even among those who participated in the early development of rap music.
It has been our intention to collect essays that make important contributions to broadening discussions on art education and hip-hop beyond the topics of graffiti, fashion, and the use of cyphers in educational contexts. We sincerely hope that we have been successful in our efforts and that this volume offers insight and inspiration for new directions indiscussing visual art’s ever evolving and influential role in hip-hop culture and education.
Master the world’s most powerful sampler, Native Instruments Kontakt, in this new online course by Producertech Tutor Defazed. With a career spanning from classic Drum & Bass to the cutting edge of electronic music, in addition to numerous international label releases and a wealth of class-based teaching experience in a number of colleges, Defazed is your ideal guide to the intricate world of sound design!
In this extensive set of tutorials, you’ll not only learn how to use Kontakt to create a wide variety of presets, including drum kits, basses, leads, pads and FX, but you’ll also discover how to use those presets to create a track, as Defazed develops each patch with MIDI clips and automation in Ableton Live.
Module 1 – Course Introduction and Kontakt Overview
In the first module, Defazed gives an overview of Kontakt, including using Kontakt in standalone mode, opening and editing Library Instruments, creating your own instrument from samples, the Wave Editor, Sampler algorithms and the Kontakt effects rack.
Module 2 – Creating the Drums Instrument
Next, Defazed creates a Drums instrument from scratch by importing samples. He discusses sample selection and editing before adding each part of the kit, before sequencing the beat and applying a groove template.
Module 3 – Grouping and Processing the Drums
This module is all about groups, showing how and why to create different groups, and the process of applying effects to whole groups. Defazed adds compression, EQ and saturation to the drums, demonstrating how to sit the different samples together to create a cohesive drum sound.
Module 4 – Creating and Sequencing the Bass Instruments
Moving on to the Bass parts, Defazed sets up audio routing and creates patches in Massive, before sampling them with Kontakt. He then demonstrates how to ensure correct tuning and key range, before creating and editing the main bass sound and stab, and then using them to produce punchy, twisted basslines.
Module 5 – Creating and Sequencing the Synth Instruments
This module covers the melodic parts of the track. Defazed creates exciting pluck and lead patches in Massive, then resamples them in Kontakt, demonstrating the editing power of the sampler. He manipulates the sounds, adding processing and effects before creating a catchy intro and extending the arrangement.
Module 6 – Atmospherics
In this lesson, Defazed shows how to manipulate samples to create atmospheric sounds using a variety of powerful techniques, including the Time Machine, Granular Synthesis and Tone Machine. He transforms samples into pads, sequences various instruments and creates deep, atmospheric effects. Next, he further develops the drum sounds and automates filters and reverb on the leads, to build interest before the drop.
Module 7 – Completing the Arrangement, Mixing and Mastering
In the final section, Defazed takes a critical look at all of the instruments, creating sub-mixes using groups and honing in on their sounds. He edits the drums for the build-up, further tweaks the drop section, intro and build-up, before tidying up the mix and arrangement. Finally, he covers some basic mastering techniques to complete the track.
