Urban History 1969 Detroit Rebels

Sassy 60s feel. Amy Winehouse meets Heard it through the Grapevine meets Motown.

The Club was Full of Girls in 1981

Seriously Seventies disco track, with funk guitar, bass, keys, brass section and vocals. Sleek, funky and retro, perfect for advert encapsulating that feeling before hitting the club, getting ready for a night out with your ladies or your boys.

Move Your Feet

Quality disco with a laid back feel. Intro builds on a hi-hat drum riff with a funky bassline, joined by cool piano, jangling guitars. Cool, funky and earnest. Reminiscent of “We’re Lost in Music” by Sister Sledge.

Vocal version has words “move your feet, step up to the beat, got the urge to move your body”.

Frisco Disco

High energy disco with a club feel. Intro builds in timbre crashing into sophisticated high energy disco arrangement with funky bass, bongos, string riffs, piano and the occasional sexy voice saying “yes”.

Disco Olympics

High energy disco with a club feel. String intro crashes into full on celebration with party sounds, leading to sophisticated disco arrangement with pokey synth and guitar stabs. Reminiscent of “Relight My Fire” by Take That and the one and only Lulu.

Medicine Goes Down

Frenetic electro pop, 8 bit madness with a fast skipping beat. Sounds a bit euro.

Luzhin

Fractured and bouncy electro pop. Begins with slow harpsichord then changes abruptly to glitchy topsy-turvy rhythms. Fun, bit-crushed and slightly trippy, imagine that bit in The Beach where Leonardo DiCaprio becomes a computer game.

Like a Mantelpiece the Sea

Back room farmyard instrumental, acoustic instruments with a tender yet mischievous melody. Folky but genre-defying. An extension of the soundtrack to Withnail & I.

Judas

Uncomfortable reggae-funk, with what sounds like electronic braying donkeys in the background (melodica). A quizzical brooding atmosphere with heavy beats. Imagine a slightly dysfunctional circus-like “Your Woman” by White Town.

Fairground for a Mucus Dress

Music for a synthesised, circus party. Rhythmic, upbeat orchestral. Chaotic and crazy.
