Hear the "snap" that kicks in around the 29-second mark of “Sorry Not Sorry,” the #1 hit for Demi Lovato, and repeats throughout the song? Producer Oak Felder got that sample from Splice, as part of a monthly subscription he has with the online service.

Splice has just raised $35 million in new funding let by DFJ Growth to expand. The company previously raised $12.25 million in three rounds.
