A nice chunk of traditional African vibes, with arrhythmical counter-rhythms, shakers, xylophone and flute, a perfect ad-length tune for family occasions, exotic products, for some reason I’m imagining an oxo advert. There is an anticipation of togetherness and community, and feelings of positivity, lightness, culture and celebration.

Get Charged (Righteous Remix)
Funky 90s vocal and sample track. Vocals burst in from the start, laid back 90s samples, squelchy beats, cymbals, funky keys. Added orchestral strings add a serious note under the breezy beats. Chilled and cool with a slightly serious edge, a mash up of samples and influences, swinging between cool and intense. Ultimately a funky call to action.
Non-vocal version available.
Acetylene
Brash electronic metal instrumental. Harsh effects-laden guitar intro, drums enters with a gritty bass line. Bubbling bass, drums and choppy guitar section. Dark, heavy effected guitar returns with moody drums and bass. Bullet-like drums and laser guitar of the intro returns. Relentless rhythmic section like a round of gunfire before a drum outro. Dark, visceral, threatening and dirty. Like an electronic Pantera, would suit a hard-as-nails, moody, bruising TV scene or advert for a damaging, no-nonsense product that would wipe the floor with the competition.
Dance Flaws
Fast-paced beat-driven chase track. Piano chords and instant driving breakbeat rhythms. Hammond organ-style synth notes, funk guitar and synth chords give a 70s vibe over the modern beats. Drum break with electronic samples like barking dogs before full throttle, all in to the end. High octane, excited, breathless and thrilling, suitable for a TV/Advert chase scene, imagine a mad dash across busy city streets to get to that essential product before it’s too late.
A Beautiful Day
Cheesy summer synths. Shimmering sustained synths, delicate snare beats and whooshing synth effects introduce a low key synth melody. A quieter passage of sparkling arpeggiated synths, bouncy keys and washed out beats creates a breezy atmosphere before the melody returns more energetic and full of conviction. Sexy, seductive and summery, sun, sea and synths, perfect Balearic muzak for adverts, or comedic TV montages – like Alan Partridge slow-motion Baywatch jogging into the sunset.
The Old Tree Swing
Lyrical solo piano track. Gentle undulating piano arpeggios with bright, hopeful piano melody above. Introspective, quiet, melancholy moment, brightening to the original melody. Peaceful, thoughtful, searching and nostalgic, a piano journey through idyllic American countryside, watching from the car window, memories flooding in as the patchwork fields flicker by.
60 secs and 30 secs ad length versions available.
King of the Road
Instrumental rock ‘n’ roll track stomper with attitude. Drum intro followed by punchy guitar riff. Builds in texture with more guitar and drums. Upbeat guitar break with dynamic bass guitar line, before the energetic, raucous chorus resumes. Everything repeats, before an all-out guitar shredder of a finale. Bold, brash and in-your-face, perfect for a bolshy teen drama montage or a high-octane but good-natured car chase.
Tonight We Drink Wine and Dance
Melancholy solo piano. Amélie-style minor oom-pah chords, growing in intensity and embellishment throughout the track. Another line of piano plays a lyrical melody above the regular chords. An energetic chorus brings a modulation and intricate break. Back to opening chords for a finish. Emotional and wretched, yet passionate, would suit an advert or TV scene requiring Gallic charm and impulsive, reckless emotion.
‘Underscore’ version features chords only, no melody line.
Old But Young At Heart
Feel-good piano, guitar and vocal track. Easy-going acoustic guitar and a groovy piano melody to start with jazzy finger snaps, tambourine and playful Hammond organ. Kids simple vocal scat enters, giving a Sesame Street vibe. Happy, content, bright and hopeful, a fun, laid-back ditty for quirky adverts with cute puppies, or as a kids TV theme tune.
60 sec, 30 sec and 15 sec ad length versions available.
Amo Per Nadia
Gentle hangdrum and percussion track. Sparse hangdrum, drone-like overtones joined by rhythmic drums and percussive shuffles reminiscent of Moondog. Calm, peaceful and chilled, perfect meditative background music for nature documentaries or introspective Film/TV scenes.
