An upbeat rhythmic drum ‘n’ bass/grime influenced track. Mash-up of rhythms and urban styles with MC-style vocals, alien synth samples, finger snaps and hand-claps throughout the track. Cool, fresh, urban and a little bit dark. Would match with adverts for streetwear brands, refreshing drinks or a film/TV scene evoking inner city-life, kids in the playground jumping rope but dodgy dealings happening just around the corner.
A dance track mixing African- and Caribbean-influenced urban British styles. Dancehall-like drums & vocal samples give way to silvery synths and MC-style vocals, growing in rhythmic intensity with snare, synth and vocal samples. A heavily processed female helium vocal sample is introduced over trance-style synth and erratic beats, heavy synths intensifying until an abrupt ending. Dancey, urban, dark and complex. Walking through the city late at night, neon signs glowing, street lights, dodgy characters all around but our protagonist owns the streets.
Smooth lounge jazz number. Piano chords, double bass patter and soft drums begin, joined by wistful saxophone melody. Piano takes a dynamic solo accompanied by drums and more busy double bass. Back to emotional sax melody. Nostalgic, warm and fuzzy, yet cool and laid back, perfect for a romantic old-school TV/Film sequence, Casablanca-style star-crossed lovers staring sadly into their stylish cocktails, intoxicated by love.
Bed track has No Saxophone.
Sample-heavy 90s influenced hip hop track. Synth electric guitar plays a tense riff over various samples, including hand claps, vinyl scratches, radio static, organ, hand drums, tambourine and flute, and dark hip hop beats. Tense and slightly sinister but cool and collected,with a hint of dangerous fun, perfect for an atmospheric, streetwise advert or TV/Film sequence set in a dangerous neighbourhood where anything can happen.
A slow and unhurried build with synth strings and radiant tonal swirls. A roving bass line joins at 0:40. At 2:09 it breaks into something classy, a laid back but grooving rhythm section bears down and comes into its own at 3:33, losing the swirling synths, but adding rhythmic piano stabs. At 7:05 the swirls are back but now pulsing in time; at 7:49 our original strings and swirls are back again, finally at 9:14 the track gradually breaks down towards a faded end. Glamourous and dreamy with a killer groove. I’d imagine this working for a sophisticated branding video, for luxury products and/or spaces.
Groovy and modern, with a confident bass line and a classy electric guitar that mix in-your-face raggae elements with dub and dance rhythms. A-B-A-B structure with “anticipation moments” at 2:00 and 3:30. Resumes a definite funky vibe toward the end using also an interesting wobbly effect.
Electronic track. Beat intro with mellow synth. Added beats, rhythmic bassy synth, harsh, glassy synth effects and straight up drums. Upbeat but slightly melancholy with a hint of tension. Suitable for moody TV drama sequences or for a cool, clean, modern advert.
Careless 2 is longer, more like a electronic dance track, with added finger snaps and effects and punchier beats.
Crisp and smooth, with a marked jazzy brass influence but also Latin remainders and juicy funky guitars. Soft and romantic with an exotic edge, this is pure gold for the lovers of smooth jazz, with top notch solo performances and great taste in the arrangment.
Delicate and bright, with a wonderful smooth jazz feeling, mingled with fresh samba rhythms and a funky attitude. Strongly rhythmical yet perfect for chill out settings, it features great sax and keyboard solos.
Electronic track with samples and dark bassy beats. Fades in with electronic repeated riff and synth electric guitar sounds. Sustained synths and trap beats underpin the broad synth sound. High pitched sustained synth introduced. Fades in and out sporadically. Punchy, brash, moving with a strut, laid back but in your face, would suit an urban advert or background music for a youth culture documentary.
