In addition to the deal, Splice will also maintain and expand the Rubber Tracks Sample Library, which Indaba Music created in partnership with Converse back in 2012. The catalog has over 40,000 royalty-free samples, loops and stems, contributed by legendary musicians.
“We founded Indaba Music to connect musicians in new ways and accelerate their creativity with creative content and opportunities. Splice shares that vision and has the resources and team needed to bring it to the next level,” stated Dan Zaccagnino.
