With storytelling at its bedrock, the Wakaan founder delivered a career-long set that felt more like a festival than a one-off show.

An unassuming set of songs made by an unassuming four-piece, Fenceline rolls by in a little over thirty minutes. There is a certain sense of inertia to the record, the songs so strong and fundamentally enjoyable that you can’t help but listen to it in sequence, almost as if it were a real piece of wax on a turntable—or better yet, a scuffed CD in a six-disc changer. This is an album made for tooling around the streets of a town you don’t necessarily want to live in anymore, in a car that’s seen better days but still gets from point A to point B. It sounds good idling at a red, but it really gets going once you hit the gas, even if you’re just cruising at a cool thirty-five.

With a new release alongside Pan-Pot landing on his own label Arcane, Eli Brown steps into our Q&A at a moment where his sound feels sharper and more dominant than ever.

Eli Brown has built a reputation on keeping things direct. Big records, no overthinking, and a clear sense of what works when it matters. Through Arcane, that same approach carries into a wider platform that backs impact over hype, while his latest collaboration with Pan-Pot on ‘Coming In Heavy’, marking the label’s 100th release, lands as another functional, no-nonsense addition to his catalogue.

But this isn’t about breaking down kick drums or studio process. With a new release in motion, it felt like the right time to put Brown through our Q&A and get into the stuff that doesn’t usually make the press shots. The habits, opinions, and off-the-cuff takes that sit behind the artist, not just the records.

What's your greatest fear?

Heights. I’ve never been a fan…don’t ask me to DJ on top of a skyscraper!

What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?

Hard work and tenacity.

If you weren’t making or playing music, what would you be doing?

Well, I used to work in finance, so I guess I’d still be doing that. Thankfully, music paid off!

What was your most embarrassing moment?

I’m too cool to be embarrassed.

What would your superpower be?

Time travel. I’d love to see the future.

[quote align=right text="I tend to make a monthly folder of new music and file my sets chronologically"]

If you could bring something extinct back to life, what would you choose?

Caramac. If you don’t know, get to know.

Must visit record store or studio?

I visited Tower Records in Tokyo the other day and that was dope. The vinyl floor was amazing, and I picked up a classic Dave Clarke album.

How do you like to finish your sets?

Generally with something that evokes a certain emotion. That can be a classic track or something super euphoric. The feeling I’m trying to create is that sense of not wanting to leave the party and wanting to hug your mates because the night has been so epic.

If not yourself, who would you most like to be?

Valentino Rossi. He’s my favourite motorcycle rider and I’m a big MotoGP fan. He’s someone I truly admire, and I know he likes a good rave.

When’s the last time you changed your mind about something significant?

Well, I just agreed to getting a dog, something I never thought I’d do. I’m not really an animal person, but I guess that’s about to change.

What sparks your creativity?

Being inspired. Hearing something that catches my ear and makes me want to run to the studio. That inspiration can come from anywhere: TV, being at a gig, listening to an album. You just have to stumble acr

Splice and KSHMR have announced Dharma Studio, a new label partnership built around sample releases and artist-led sound design. The first release under the new banner is Sounds of KSHMR Vol. 5, which will roll out in stages on Splice during 2026.

Splice has launched Dharma Studio, a new label created with producer and artist KSHMR, extending a relationship that began nearly a decade ago with the first Sounds of KSHMR sample pack. The companies said the new venture will serve as a platform for future releases, including collaborative packs, artist-led projects, and other sound design formats.

The first title to arrive through the partnership is Sounds of KSHMR Vol. 5, the latest entry in a sample series that has become one of the most recognisable brands on the Splice platform. According to the announcement, the new volume will move away from the single-pack format used previously and instead be released as a set of eight instrument-focused collections covering drums, drum loops, drum fills, FX, songstarters, instruments, synths and vocals.

KSHMRA long-running sample pack series moves into a label format

KSHMR was among the first high-profile artists to release an exclusive sample pack on Splice, with Sounds of KSHMR Vol. 1 helping establish a model in which artist identity became closely tied to sound libraries for producers. Since then, the series has been widely used across electronic, pop and hip-hop production.

Splice said Sounds of KSHMR Vol. 3 was its most downloaded pack of 2025, while Vol. 4 debuted at number one on the platform and remained in the top 10. Those figures suggest that the series continues to hold commercial weight at a time when producer marketplaces are increasingly shaped by subscription models, AI-assisted discovery and intense competition for attention.

In a statement, KSHMR described Dharma Studio as an extension of his wider educational and creative work, with a focus on bringing more artists into the Splice ecosystem. Splice, meanwhile, framed the partnership as part of a wider commitment to transparency, authorship, and compensation for creators who contribute sounds to the platform.

What Sounds of KSHMR Vol. 5 includes

Rather than arriving as a single release, Vol. 5 will be issued in monthly instalments on Splice. The drums, drum loops, drum fills and FX collections are available first, with the remaining folders to follow over the coming months. Splice also said a complete bundle is available now through KSHMR’s Dharma Worldwide site.

That release structure reflects a broader shift in how sample content is packaged and marketed. Instead of treating a library as a one-off product, platforms are increasingly building ongoing release cycles around creators with established followings. For producers, that can mean a steadier flow of new material. For platforms, it helps turn individual packs into longer-term editorial brands.
