EDM with bouncy synths. Anticipatory build with synth whooshes and a sparse melody to begin. Calvin Harris-style beat drops, bouncy synths and regular beats create a driving movement. Spacey laser synths and faster beats spiral to a climax. Fun, colourful and garish, yet driven and determined, perfect for a feel-good advert or for brash reality TV.

Polished EDM/Pop. Punchy from the get-go with arpeggiated synth lines, twinkling sound effects, a bouncy synth melody and beats. A build with relentless beats speeding up to the drop. Bright, euphoric synths joined by crunchy beats, bright, sparkly and upbeat. Happy, carefree and reckless, Calvin Harris/Skrillex-style summer jam for Reality TV or a documentary about the youth going on raucous, boozy holidays.

Emotional EDM. Thoughtful synth piano intro Ă  la PC Music, joined by cute synth melody, sound fx and fat synth chords. An anticipatory build leads to a Justice-like banger of a chorus. More bouncy synth and an arpeggiated build take us to a piano break, emotional synth and some female vocal samples before an acceleration to another punchy chorus. Sincere, cutesy and euphoric, with fun Calvin Harris vibes, perfect for an advert for a flashy, youth brand or for an energetic TV or Documentary sequence.

Euphoric electronica. Steady dance beats introduce the track with bubbling synth effects, building up with colourful synth chords to the bouncy melodic climax. A quiet mid-section, before anticipatory chords and driving beats lead to another banger of a chorus. High-energy, punchy and contemporary with a retro feel, reminiscent of Calvin Harris’s ‘This Is What You Came For’, with bold build ups and euphoric choruses, perfect for a glossy reality TV montage sequence – imagine the Love Islanders hitting the tiles – or a silly, fun advert.

Cute, euphoric EDM. Fat synth chords, laser beats, accelerating bouncy sound effects and a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown build anticipation before the drop into colourful, brain-candy EDM. Calvin Harris meets PC music, fat 80s synths and banging beats mixed with cutesy sound effects and saccharine synth happiness. Positive, summery and fun-filled, perfect for a summer advert, with young, cool people raving on a roof, or for feel-good Reality TV.

Euphoric electronic dance track. Piano chord progression intro, beat enters building anticipation. More beats and vocal samples, breaks into Justice or Calvin Harris-style high pitch synth line with throbbing beats. Drops back to the piano before building again. Atmospheric, suspenseful and thoughtful before the brash, euphoric chorus. Evoking the feeling of a hedonistic summer festival, would suit an advert for a youth brand.

Electronic dance track. Calvin Harris-style synth, banging dance-floor beats and hyperactive arpeggiated synths. Several build and drops throughout. Anticipatory, fun and euphoric, suitable for a longform ad or short doc with the spirit of summer daytime raving.

Bouncy electronic pop track. Fat summery synths, electronic beats and male vocal sample ‘Hey’s set the upbeat tone. Vinyl-scratching samples, more bouncy synths and hip hop beats create a fun but edgy summery vibe. Determined, cool and a bit flashy, a slight cheesy Calvin Harris synth feel, perfect for brash adverts or Hollyoaks-style TV interludes.
