Laidback Luke makes a rave track with Splice Create

With a career spanning over two decades as a DJ, producer, and early adopter of production and performance technology, Laidback Luke is without a doubt one of dance music’s most respected pioneers.

Known for his deep roots in remix culture, he has shaped the sound of electronic music through influential releases and performances across the world’s biggest clubs and festivals. His official remix credits include the likes of Daft Punk, Rihanna, Madonna, Pharrell Williams, Tiësto, Depeche Mode, and Calvin Harris—just to name a few.

In the video above, Laidback Luke dropped by our pop-up studio in Amsterdam to check out Splice Create, our new all-in-one DAW with the Splice catalog, instruments, and effects built in. Watch along as he builds a rave track from scratch, using his production expertise to draw on sounds from Splice and interface with the workstation using plain language.

“I think the way that it streamlines the way I produce and what I already know is fascinating,” he says on Create as he wraps up his session. “It takes something that I’m used to, but makes it easier.”

Many music tools today either make the song for you, or assume you already know how. Splice Create does neither of these things—it helps you learn how to make the music you want. Learn more here:
