Fat 80s synths, syncopated percussion, hip hop beats and spacey synth pads give way to a piano chord break. Funky with lots of attitude, yet sensual and calm. Would suit a cool advert or a decisive or reflective reality TV moment.

Never Have I
Futuristic electronica with a tropical flavour. Oceanic synth pads, glittering synth melody and French accordion. Deep beats drops, warm and mellow, with chunky marimba chords, and a driving ‘chorus’ with polished swagger. Atmospheric, reflective and contemporary, perfect brooding electronica for slick adverts or glossy reality TV.
History
Hip hop track with orchestral strings. Melancholy string intro. Minimal beats before a bass drop. Deep bass synth mines the underbelly, trap beats up top and church-like bell sample and choral vocal samples add to the eerie atmosphere. Dark, sombre and quietly epic, like Gangsta’s Paradise without Coolio, perfect for an investigative documentary or epic domestic drama of the streets.
Mood
Mellow r’n’b with piano. Synth pad intro with 90s piano chords joining on top. Trap beats and percussive samples drop in. Breezy, wistful and sensual, a romantic instrumental for reality TV, fashion adverts or cool documentaries.
Paradise Gardens
Positive piano track with electronics. Warm, sweeping electronic effects and bright piano motifs build up to interlocking pizzicato strings, creating joyful anticipation. Reverb brings fuzzy, hopeful warmth, like a summers day in a beautiful garden. Inspiring, happy and atmospheric, perfect for a nature programme or a fun and intriguing onscreen mystery.
Angst at the Bay
Epic, atmospheric synth track. A wash of broad synths and wind-like rushes, evoking a cold, post-apocalyptic natural world. Orchestral string-like synths slowly add a hint or warmth and hope. Emotional, bleak and desolate, introspective soundscape to suit a reflective TV scene, an epic nature documentary or romantic film scene.
Ringworld
Fantasy synth track. Soft arpeggiated synth and ambient water sounds morph into a dreamy, repetitive synth melody. Drops to delicate wash of gentle dusky synths, morphing to a quieter sound with birds and flowing streams conjuring images of an idyllic natural world. Pastoral, combining nature and technology, beautiful, like an ambient, instrumental Grimes track, would suit nature documentaries, warm yet futuristic TV scenes and atmospheric podcasting.
New Toy
Woozy, dark electronica. Vertigo-inducing synths wobble and swerve over bleeps, whirrs and the deepest synth bass, sounding like an alien trying to sing in slow motion. Disconcerting, sinister and strange, would suit a menacing movie scene or a dark alley onscreen encounter…in the future.
Bag
Minimal trap. Cold synth melody over male vocal sample, first high-pitched, then repeated in a low register. Sparse beat drops. Quicker hi-hat beat added with finger-snap style beat. Dark, edgy and cool, perfect for an atmospheric advert for streetwear or a documentary about youth culture or TV drama.
In Retrospect
Deep house 90s-style track. Heavy beats with intermittent colourful breathy synths. House synth chords and hi-hats build momentum, choral-like synths swell and more beats drop. Fun squeaks and playful high pitched synths add light-hearted texture. Sincere and thoughtful, yet fun and playful, perfect for TV sports coverage, an edgy urban documentary or a cool advert.
