Bloopy synth track with deep underwater bass. Soft, hazy synth lines over repeated bloopy synth melody, reverb effects, and subtle, drum roll-like beats. Downbeat, nostalgic and mysterious, with a hint of danger, would suit an investigative Vice or Vox-style documentary or TV segment. Also perfect for edgy TV scenes.

Isolation
Modern country track instrumental with orchestral strings. Acoustic guitar plays a snaking country-style melody with cheeky pizzicato strings on countermelody. Syncopated beats and bass guitar build a deeper groove throughout.

Crossing Euro Instrumental
Bleepy electronica with D’n’B beats. Gentle electronics, joined by heavy D’n’B breaks. Sweet, bleepy section returns before a chunky beat driven section.

Determined, driven and nostalgic, perfect for a youth TV drama in an urban setting, or as a dynamic accompaniment to an electronics or automobile advert.
