A decade-long creative partnership evolves into a full-fledged sample label built for the next generation of producers.
Nearly ten years after helping pioneer the artist-led sample pack era, KSHMR is expanding his creative universe with the launch of Dharma Studio on Splice. In a move that deepens one of the most impactful collabs in modern production culture, it’s fitting that as technology continues to reshape the music landscape, Dharma Studio signals a renewed commitment to authorship and creative control.
What began in 2016 with Sounds of KSHMR Vol. 1 rapidly became a defining toolkit for electronic music creators worldwide, ultimately powering millions of downloads and finding its way into records from artists across the global spectrum, including Logic, DJ Snake, Selena Gomez, BLACKPINK, LISA, and Meek Mill, among others.
“Dharma Studio is the natural evolution of everything I’ve been building over the years. With Splice we’ll be able to scale Dharma Studio in a way that gives producers some truly incredible sounds from all over the world.” – KSHMR
Now that legacy enters a new chapter with the arrival of Sounds of KSHMR Vol. 5, marking the first official release under the Dharma Studio banner. Breaking from previous formats, Vol. 5 delivers more than 6,000 sounds and unfolds as a multi-part series spanning eight instrument-focused releases: Drums, Drum Loops, Drum Fills, FX, Songstarters, Instruments, Synths, and Vocals. The initial rollout includes the rhythm-driven folders available immediately on Splice, with additional installments dropping monthly.
“There’s huge demand for KSHMR on Splice, his sounds are a key touchstone of our company’s future. This label represents our huge trust and respect for KSHMR. Human-made samples are core to our platform and human artistry – we’re excited to hear how Splice customers will use new tools to engage with this sound design.” – Kenny Ochoa, SVP, Global Partnerships at Splice
For KSHMR and Splice, this isn’t just another sample pack – it’s designed to empower producers at every level with globally inspired, meticulously crafted sounds. The complete bundle is available now at dharmaworldwide.com, with ongoing releases via splice.com.
