It's unquestionably the Jetsons' doorbell. He also used the sample in Swet on Chicago, Detroit, Redruth. Maybe a Marxophone or related instrument was used in making the original sound effect - I hear the same repetition of notes (though the tone is very different) and it wouldn't have been a synthesizer at the time The Jetsons was made.

I apparently can't edit my posts anymore (ok) but the version of La Saule I linked above is the wrong tempo (45rpm issues?).
Since it's the leading track off this album, have the whole thing.
I really couldn't get into these and I struggle to tell any of the tracks apart. But my first impressions of Recepticon are much more positive; so I've been thinking about it and decided the problem was these are Play-Out Tracks. They're super polished EQ-wise and probably sound excellent on a big system, but are too homogenous to interest my ears for extended home listening.
Possibly this is why he didn't release Rave Hop as Wagon Christ - despite being downtempo, it's still meant for the club.
I think this is the case too, maybe excluding his releases on Virgin or other major or big indie labels? I remember KD3 couldn't be pressed up more than an X amount of copies because otherwise they could get sued? Which is also why it's not repressed yet?
Also what I heard for this (hello a year later) is essentially that Salsoul got a little grumpy about the sample on Needy Feelin' and said basically "yeah okay but you're not repressing that or we'll sue".
Another track seemingly to help out a tiny label on a vinyl release. Said label appears mainly based around a massive archive of African field recordings, so I'm not surprised Luke wanted to sink his teeth into that. Certainly has Africa vibes.
It hasn't. Thank you; I'd always wondered about this one. Given the bass sound, I wouldn't be surprised if the main slap riff is lurking on the same album somewhere.
