Grungey rock ‘n’ roll instrumental track. Rage Against the machine-style guitar riff, steady drums, followed by a Nirvana-style more downbeat riff with more prominent bassline, ending on the original high-octane guitar section. Angry, powerful, loud and proud, classic 90s rock perfect for energetic TV interludes, adverts for flaming whopper burgers, or for a powerful film scene representing a challenging character in defiance of authority.

Unapologetic
Punchy urban electronic track. Dramatic 90s-inspired catchy synth strings, bouncy beats, unforgiving electric guitar and church music choral samples. Serious, forceful and full of conviction, a modern mash up of guitar and beats perfect for an youth advert or for a heightened moment in a contemporary TV show.
Reminiscing
Downbeat trip/hip hop track. Starts with a moody electric guitar riff, heavy with reverb and delay, dark and brooding. Electronic samples and complex beats are added, before single piano notes add to the sombre mood. Melancholy, serious, slightly dark with flashes of futuristic silver, reminiscent of Massive Attack and downbeat, emotional 90s films.
Everybody Dance
Upbeat synth track with vocals. Fat arpeggiated synth, deep bassy beat, shaker-style percussion, ‘Get Ur Freak On’-style beat sample before synth chord progression build to drum break. Tracks speeds up towards the end, building in intensity before a chill, wonky beat slow down. Serious fun, playful and intense, a hedonistic 90s-inspired track for hot nights. Would suit upbeat adverts or a claustrophobic neon party scene on screen.
Intrigue
Plodding open-ended synth track with strings. Blobby beats, serious 80s/90s synths and dramatic choppy strings over a relentless steady beat. Stern, sophisticated and exotic, would suit a dramatic film scene featuring glamourous European subterfuge, or an advert for a classy product that will drive others mad with jealousy.
Ghetto Orchestra
Dark, electronic trap with string samples. 90s-influenced string samples, distorted male vocal sample saying ‘ID please’, trap beats and female vocal sample begin. Joined by more fleeting string samples. Underwater section before the string-led section returns. Cool, urban and flashy in a 90s way, good music to strut to, perfect for tense, intriguing TV/Film/Doc scenes.
Ambient Realm
Reverb-heavy dreamy guitar track. Melodic bass guitar, jangly guitar chords, guitar feedback and shuffling 90s drums. Dreamy, blissed out and intimate, would suit a sensual advert for an immersive, heady experience, or a thoughtful Film/TV sequence.
Jazzting
Dynamic, laid-back 90s jazz/lounge track. Shuffling jazz drums, warped sun-soaked synths, jazzy bass riff and delay-laden melodies. Chilled, fuzzy and a bit off-kilter, with hints of Stereolab and trip-hop. Perfect for a TV/Film sequence or montage moving across a landscape dappled in multi-hued sun spots.
Purple Bar Swing
Breezy lounge-jazz number on saxophone, piano, strings and drums. Sax melody introduced from the beginning. Smooth sax solo accompanied by piano, drums and strings before return to the melody and a fade out. Smooth and laid-back, suitable for a TV or Film montage or link sequence, or a nostalgic advert. Frasier meets 1980s/90s lounge music.
Mitochondria
Epic electronic build with orchestral strings. Crackly intro, muted electronic build, powerful beats and glassy synths. Sustained, dramatic orchestral strings build to a pummelling electronic beat with glittering arpeggiated synth and a serious, choppy string section. A break before a fresh build. Solemn and driven yet hopeful, all out epic 90s vibes like Fatboy Slim’s ‘Right Here, Right Now’, would suit tense sports coverage, a dramatic advert, or sincere documentary TV.
