When scheduling out our 2020 slate, we knew that we wanted to introduce a new collection that honed in on what we do best but differentiated itself from our other trap offerings. Welcome to Trap Caviar, a collection of trap sounds that is both referential and forward-thinking, inspiring and slap-heavy, while remaining clean yet innovative.

With drums handled by Jon Casey working with Fyre, and a host of melodic textures overseen by Skimmy, Trap Caviar isn't just our new trap pack, it's our new trap standard, worth the wait it took to make and definitely worth its weight in beluga caviar.

It's rare that the sequel is better than the original, though, at AudeoBøx that's always the goal, but we generally like to view all of our packs as companions, Iridescent 2 truly changes that narrative. Building from what worked in volume one, and retooling what didn't, Iridescent 2 fills in the gaps of its predecessor while leaning into the trap adjacent flourishes that create today's pop without homogenizing your sound or choices.

Helmed completely by Skimmy himself, Iridescent 2 is the first pack, other than his own (see Infinity: Crush Kit), that truly shows his singular perspective on a collection. Though Skimmy may have been at the head, Bo's Handrolls returned to take over guitar duties for a complete set of new treated live guitars. Also returning to bless us with his brand of weird, Dabow handled a bulk of the melodic content in the pack and brought a friend with him. The newest addition to the AudeoBøx team is Chicago based LYNY, who brings just a peppering of his own spice to the pack in the form of drums.

With a palette of sonic landscapes ranging from lush guitar melodies to dark driving synth earworms, Iridescent 2 was inspired by artists spanning from Black Atlas to Tones and I, all the way to Bea Miller.

It's been over 2 years since the initial release of Jetpack, our exclusive collection of production essentials for any modern producer, and with time hopefully comes maturity. As with every AudeoBøx offering, we try to make the next better than the last, and Jetpack 2 follows that ethos farther than we've ever taken it before. What's even better: you can download the entire pack as a .zip ('extra') for 300 flat credits.

This pack serves as the first time in our history that we've been able to gather 8 to10 of our unique sound designers to create a body of work that is wholly original, and unprecedentedly cohesive while remaining individual. For our second journey into today and tomorrow's essentials, we brought out familiar faces from our Vibes, Elyments, Resonance, and Twisted Metal series' to work on what their best at, while also bringing in some fresh blood to up the ante.

For our drums, drum loops, and top loops, we relied on our percussive mainstays to stretch their imaginations, and fine-tune their crafts, to birth over 345 original drum one-shots, and over highly 100 usable drum loops and toppers. With Jon Casey taking the reigns as the lead drum designer of the set, Jetpack 2 sees his signature sound brought to drums ranging from the unexpected to modern classics of the future.

The addition of Toby Schay's sonic outlook to our Elemynts series has been an undeniable treat, so we had to bring him to add some vintage hip hop into the mix. To tie this all together, Q Rock brought out a fresh set of drum loops ready for every occasion.

For this iteration of Jetpack, we wanted to bring in fresh blood to make each vertical of the pack as special as it could be.

At the suggestion of Jon, we brought in Dabow, a monster sound designer we specifically chose for a set of Hard Trap songstarters. And speaking of trap, we brought back SVGAR who worked on our drum necessities in the Twisted Metal 2 collection to bring melodies, stems, and more to make your creativity pop. When it came to pop, Wanna Wake had reached out to us when we were planning this collection, and we knew we wanted the EDM duo to take a stab at crafting a collection that would be floor-filling ear candy while also exploring their sound design prowess with over 100 original sound effects, which brings us to R&B.

With his introduction in the incredible Resonance 2, we KNEW we had to have multi-instrumental Chris Cadenhead come back and steer the ship with little interference from us to bring his musicality out in a way that unfettered creativity allows for.

Coming in a bit over 800 sounds, Jetpack 2 is about quality over quantity, over and over again until perfected, so we've done all that we can do to make this perfect for you, the only question is, "are you ready for liftoff?"
