Bold, upbeat synthpop instrumental. Minimal piano intro before excitement-building arpeggiated synths and big, bold synth whooshes. Minimal synth section leads to energetic, euphoric build and beat drop. Heavy, chunky beats, crunchy sound effects and cute bubblegum synths explode like fireworks. Drops and builds again. High-octane, exhilarating and life-affirming, a contemporary mix of brash and kawaii sounds, perfect for fashion content or colourful, youthful documentaries and aspirational Love Island-style reality TV.

Downbeat EDM. Throbbing bass line with hard hi-hat hits. Sombre piano introduced, becoming melancholy chords, along with added beats.

Dark hip hop with gunshot samples. Bleepy synth intro with effects, a foreboding piano riff then a break. Beats build to a deep, punchy, bass synth melody. Piano returns, more beats and gunshot samples. Threatening, tense and frightening, a seemingly bouncy track with a dark underbelly, would suit topical, crime documentaries or content.

Dreamy synths under hip hop beats with helium vocal samples. Male vocal samples interspersed with child-like vox, like Sampha in a tender duet with a chipmunk. Laid back beats and rippling piano chords keep it chilled. Thoughtful, gentle and soft in contrast with the chunky beats. Would suit emotional or tongue-in-cheek content.

Dark trap. Bell-like keyboard motif builds mystery and tension. Rattling, unsettling chords reiterate the creepy melody before a syncopated Latin-style beat and hi-hat trap beat grounds the track. Quiet moments with the eerie distant sounds of thunder and rain like a bad omen. Uneasy and tense with a sense of foreboding, like a trap Twin Peaks soundtrack, perfect for dark TV show where danger is around every corner.

Chilled trap/hip hop track. Summery Roland-esque organ sounds and quavering church-like synth strings build anticipation before trap beat drops. Devotional piano chords add to the gospel vibes. Zealous male vocal samples at intervals and deep bassy beats interspersed with breezy hi-hat interludes. Laid back, warm and uplifting, inspiring and reverent yet cool, like Kanye West’s Sunday service, hip hop and gospel influences, perfect for hopeful pop culture documentaries for adverts or calmly climactic TV sequences.
