From the most downloaded one-shots on Splice Sounds to our producer of the year, read on for highlights of some of the most exciting categories and winners, and see here for the full Splice Awards rundown.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n One-shots are the building blocks that make up the countless beats, melodies, and progressions we know and love. Below, we share this year’s top downloaded one-shots on Splice Sounds across two categories: individual artist and sample label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Individual artist \u2013 Murda Beatz’ “MURDA_KICK_ICED_OUT.WAV”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Canadian hip hop producer Murda Beatz went from teaching himself music production to making beats for the likes of Gucci Mane and Drake. When social distancing measures were first implemented globally in March, Murda Beatz released his “Quarantine Kit” sample pack<\/a> to keep the music community inspired. Clearly it was an effective endeavor, as a versatile but hard-hitting kick from the pack became the top downloaded one-shot from an artist on Splice this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a listen to the award-winning sample here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sample label \u2013 Function Loops’ “FL_DS_KIT02_140_VOCAL_LOOP_CHOIR_FM.WAV<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n Function Loops is a sound design company that strives to give as many people around the world a chance to experience the art of music creation as possible. This mission deeply resonates with us, and with it in mind we’re happy to announce that the ethereal vocal choir sample from their “Drill Smoke” pack<\/a> was this year’s top downloaded one-shot from a label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a listen to the award-winning sample here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n With so many packs constantly being added to our catalog, becoming the most downloaded pack on Splice Sounds is no easy feat. Having one or two solid one-shots or loops isn’t enough \u2013 rather, all of the sounds need to have distinct and exciting sonic identities. Below, we share this year’s top downloaded packs on Splice Sounds, also across two categories: pack and vocal pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pack \u2013 “Oliver: Power Tools Sample Pack II”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As an iconic producer and DJ, Oliver has put his stamp on many of music’s most well-spun records, working with legends like Chromeo, MNDR, Beck, and Yelle. From Doja Cat\u2019s “Say So” to Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now,” Oliver\u2019s sounds consistently reach audiences on a global scale \u2013 and the second entry to his “Power Tools” pack series contains some of his best timbres yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a listen to the award-winning pack here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Vocal pack \u2013 “KARRA Presents: Dylan Matthew Vocal Pack”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This year, vocalist, songwriter, and producer KARRA embarked on the next step of her career with the launch of KARRA Presents, her own label that\u2019s dedicated to showcasing the talents of other vocalists. One of the releases on the label, featuring the polished vocals of Dylan Matthew, became the most downloaded vocal pack of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
