The Shard

Melancholy sample-laden electronica. Pizzicato strings, joined by pastoral flute sample and orchestral sample. Harp effects interspersed with heavy syncopated beats and big D’n’B womps. Orchestral strings some to the fore midway, then settles back to the mid-tempo groove. Bold and brazen with a regal air, if Jason Bourne starred in the Wind in the Willows, perfect mash-up for dance content or tongue-in-cheek adverts.

Demon Hunter

Hi-energy synth banger. Fast beats and high hats introduce a bass-heavy synth riff. Vocal samples and frantic synths build to a massive, crunchy bass drop. Fat, flashy synths call-and-answer, competing for space. Expansive synth section like Mario Kart’s rainbow road before another wonky bass drop with slow, skewed beats. Final section is a slow synth strut. Big, bouncy, colourful and positive with a bit of crazy thrown in, would suit a reality show montage or bright and shiny pop culture documentary.

Vinyl scratching samples bring a modern edge. Upbeat, danceable and off-kilter, a wonky beat-driven, African-influenced track, perfect for a travel or youth culture documentary, or fun online content.

Akira Complex

Bold, upbeat synthpop instrumental. Minimal piano intro before excitement-building arpeggiated synths and big, bold synth whooshes.

High-octane, exhilarating and life-affirming, a contemporary mix of brash and kawaii sounds, perfect for fashion content or colourful, youthful documentaries and aspirational Love Island-style reality TV.

Less is More

Dark breakbeat EDM. Muted bass line with orchestral string drone and flurries of 90s-style breakbeat drum samples. Full on breakbeat enters with intermittent Middle Eastern samples.
