step 1: Oliver Power Tools

[@AlinaSmith]

lol yes although (shameless plug) we have some super clean, disco-inspired drums in our LYRE splice pack so these days I mostly use those 😂

[@Penthox]

Espresso is litterally two loops from there

[@bemyheartfill]

splice gang

Great video per usual. Sure you know this already, but the main riff in Espresso is from an OLIVER sample pack on Splice.

[@AlinaSmith]

Yes! I saw that way after I filmed this. It’s crazy that they just used a prominent sample like that, so now I’m thinking maybe I need to be less scared of the “big” samples since the labels clearly don’t care 😂

[@Coneman3]

It’s a phenomenally produced track and a great song. Classic that will last forever

[@danmyers7827]

True. It does draw on great music that came before, as most great songs do. For example: listen to Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso', then George Michael's 'Fast Love'.🙂

This song sounds amazing, but I'm only getting little snippets of it. Do you have the full version somewhere?

[@SongwriterPorshia]

Amazing video 💜

Sex On The Beach is aging like finest wine. Rely's are so lucky!

[@riccardouno]

[@vdream4800]

[@masbass1011]

Good job

[@MelLanzieri]

Do u mind sharing what app u use to record your screen with system sound?

[@AlinaSmith]

ScreenFlow for visual recording + Loopback for routing the sound the way I need for video recording

[@MelLanzieri]

@@AlinaSmith thanks! Ive been listening to your music (and Lyre) and I love it! Can’t wait for your next drop!
