R&B / Soul

The soul sample is the backbone of hip hop. The rich history of the genre makes for a perfect source for samples. From early gospel to neo soul, hip hop producers have always scoured records for soul loops and soul songs to sample. Our soul library spans from 1960 to 2022. Dig into the finest soulful samples to enrich your productions with feeling, emotion, heart, and soul. See our catalog as a soul sampler: press play to start ‘needle-dropping,’ or use Tracklib’s Beat Player to find the perfect soul loops. All songs and multitracks on Tracklib are original, previously released, and made by real musicians. This is better than premade soul sound packs for obvious reasons: how can something prefabricated have SOUL? By sampling original music, you capture a spirit and studio sound that can’t be recreated. From 60s/70s analog aesthetics to the chemistry between musicians in during iconic studio sessions. That’s why Tracklib offers a wide range of soul samples: think of pioneering Philly Soul by the Delfonics, produced by Thom Bell and sampled by The Alchemist, DJ Premier, and RZA. Tracklib even contains soul music from artists sampled by Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, A-Trak, Kenny Beats, Young M.A, $NOT, among others.

Eraserhood Sound is Philly’s only Synth & Soul record label and production company.
 
EHS was founded by longtime collaborators Maxwell Perla and Vincent John. After working for years in both New York City and Philadelphia as writers and performers with acts like Lee Fields & the Expressions, Lady, El Michels Affair, Aaradhna, and more, the two shared an interest in cultivating a unique style of music which they dubbed “Synth & Soul”. The sound is a blend of soulful rhythms, featuring Perla on drums & John rounding out the rhythm section, with layers of silky synthesizers setting the mood, all captured on vintage analog recording equipment. The label is named after the 1977 David Lynch classic Eraserhead, and borrows many of the eerie textures featured in this iconic Philly film.
​
The label launched in the fall of 2019, producing and releasing 7” singles from a wide range of artists who each inhabit the spirit of Synth & Soul in their own unique way. Whether it be the intergalactic synth funk of house band Fantasy 15, the dusky desert soul of La Dante, the electro-infused R&B of Vincent John, or any other number of standalone releases, everything that comes out of Eraserhood Sound is imbued with a unique cosmic aura.
