To celebrate the release of their new record Velvet, The Love Experiment returns with LUV Pack Vol. 3, a multi-genre, neo-soul-inspired collection of sounds that embody the energy of their latest creative chapter. These samples were born from the same sessions and explorations that shaped Velvet—new sonic territories that blend soulful musicianship with cutting-edge production. The creation of Velvet also sparked the launch of LEX Sounds, making this pack more than just a toolkit—it’s a celebration of the band that started the label. Inside you’ll find lush synth textures, live bass grooves, guitar riffs, and expressive flute lines, paired with hard-hitting drums, unique SFX, and an expansive library of drum one-shots. Designed for versatility, the pack flows effortlessly between genres, making it the perfect resource for producers working in R&B, soul, hip hop, and beyond. As the third installment in the LUV Pack series, this release continues the tradition of highlighting the distinct artistry of The Love Experiment, offering producers a direct line into their world of groove, texture, and vibe.

Velvet has been out for a little bit over a week. Thank you to everyone who’s been listening and to the community who made this album possible. This album has been a labor of love for over six years and in many ways a vessel to process the extreme grief accompany with loss. The recording sessions at Electric Garden was the last time I saw our brother Devon in person. Although we worked on this record during the pandemic I didn’t realize those sessions would be our last musical meeting. During one of Devon’s amazing overdub sessions the entire studio stopped in amazement of the sonic world that he created over a simple loop. The feeling was warm and inviting. He had been joking about Syl’s very fly textured shirt and trying to figure out the material (maybe cashmere?) to which Syl replied “This is Velvet.” That inside joke became the perfect word to describe the feeling of making this music together. To be in community, to laugh and to create together is truly a blessing. We are truly honored to have been blessed to know, love, and create with Devon Dixon Jr. ❤️🎹❤️ Thank you again for listening. We hope this record feels warm and inviting.

I’ve been struggling to find the words to properly express my thoughts on the master teacher Michael “D’Angelo” Archer. This passage from Ralph Waldo Trine’s book “In Tune With The Infinite” kept coming to mind after hearing the news of D’angelo’s passing. “How beautiful if Emerson, the illumined one so far in advance of his time, who labored so faithfully and so fearlessly to bring about these very conditions, how beautiful if he were with us today to witness it all! how he would rejoice!” “How do we know,” was the reply, “that he is not witnessing it all? and more, that he is not having a hand in it all,—a hand even greater, perhaps, than when we saw him here?” Although it’s always sad when someone exits the physical form, I believe much like this quote implies, that the deceased continue on after physical life and have ways of impressing themselves on our reality. D’Angelo understood this. The recordings sessions for Voodoo were made with the intention to venerate the ancestors and channel them through the music. For all of us who are children of the Soulquarians/Dilla era I hope we can find ways to honor his legacy and keep his music in rotation for generations to come. D’Angelo’s music constantly reminds me that no matter the genre, music in its purest form is spirit work. . . . .

The Love Experiment - Velvet Link in bio: Out now on all streaming platforms 🔗 https://lnk.to/LEX_Velvet Limited edition vinyl out November 7 🔗 https://lnk.to/LEX_Velvet_LP “Velvet” is The Love Experiment’s first full-length album since their acclaimed 2016 debut. It’s warm, rich, and textured, just like the fabric itself. Inspired by the late ’80s and early ’90s, when velvet tracksuits were all the rage, The Love Experiment reimagines nostalgia through analog synths, drum machines, and live grooves that feel vibrant and deeply human. They morph from track to track, reshaping grooves on the fly and inviting listeners into sessions that feel one of a kind. “Velvet” is a future soul statement that’s alive today and destined to resonate for decades.
