Kaytranada

by Omar

This is a complete sample pack in the style of Kaytranada. The soul, funk, R&B, and Brazilian records in this pack are the right ingredients for ‘Kaytranada Type Beats.’ Create the same kind of magic as he’s produced for Mach-Hommy, GoldLink, JID, PinkPantheress, Snoop Dogg, Chance The Rapper, and more.


Kaytranada on Tracklib

There’s more to the collection than this sample library: Tracklib’s infamous Sample Breakdown video series also includes a breakdown of Kaytranada’s “At All.” On top of that, Kaytranada himself dug deep into the Tracklib vaults to sample LaWanda Page’s “The Pilot” for IDK’s 2022 single, “Drugstore.” The flip of the comedy skit is a great example of Kaytranada’s original take on music production. No wonder there are even video tutorials on how to make music like Kaytranada with sample packs to get you started.


Early Influences

Kaytranada’s production work has always been heavily influenced by a wide range of genres, from soul and funk to electronic music and hip-hop. However, in an interview with Splice, he stated he “didn’t grow up listening to funk, but everything I listened to was probably influenced by it in some ways… I didn’t pay attention to the genre of funk until my early 20s,” then citing Anderson Paak, Bruno Mars, and Khruangbin as artists who take soul and funk to the next level.

With his newest outfit Kaytraminé together with singer/rapper Aminé, he shows the diverse influences in dancefloor-minded productions with a clear touch of soul, funk, and R&B. Never leaving a distinct hip-hop groove throughout. The album was even nominated in Tracklib’s Sampling Awards 2023.


Sampling in Kaytranada's Music

Sampling is a fundamental element of hip-hop and electronic music production. Kaytranada's music is a prime example of the art of sampling. "We cannot let this sampling shit die. (...) I'll sample till I die," he shared on Twitter. He also told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 that he’s “still trying to keep [sampling] alive in a way, because I really miss samples, man. I really do miss the use of samples. A lot of people do it. The Alchemist – people like that – are still doing it and I still want to keep that alive, especially in electronic music. It’s definitely an art form. It’s like a collage. Not everyone is going to get it.”

For similar sounds, some producers might argue that a Ta-Ku sample pack follows the same lineage as Kaytranada’s sample chops and funky sample usage.
