La Isla

Splice Originals: La Isla transports you to the tropical location of your dreams, ushering in warmth, sun, and a good mood. For this pack Erick Bardales was inspired by Reggaeton and Afrobeat melodies and percussion with hints of salsa and merengue influences.

Dan Foster, a frequent collaborator and musician for Masego, played all of the horn parts and some of the melodies at EQT Studios in downtown Los Angeles. Foster is also a pianist and producer and has worked with other artists such as Kehlani, Phabo, Destin Conrad, and more.

Other gear used to make this pack included the Mellotron MD4000 Mini, Arturia V Collection 9, Etude Sax, handmade percussion, The Prince by Frank Dukes, Thermal by Output, Ozone 8 by Izotope Valhalla Vintage and Room Reverb, and more.
