Popular TikToker Grech mentioned a car playing what has now been termed ‘sploinky’ music in one of his videos, sparking inspiration for renowned electronic music artist Subtronics. From there, Subtronics created a response video producing a song using Grech as a sample, while narrating “adding in a “sploink’ here,” “some ‘bleeps and bloops’ there,” a “cute little intro thing real quick,” and “a siren to pull it all together.”
The video amassed over seven million views and 600,000 likes across social media platforms.
Now after premiering the full version of the track at electronic music festival Forbidden Kingdom in Orlando, where Subtronics headlined, he is officially releasing the full song “Sploinky Dub (feat. Grech).” Titled after the TikTok video that connected with the bass music producer, Subtronics taps the TikTok creator and young writer Grech, following the viral sensation that generated millions of interactions between TikTok and Instagram.
