Hop Shop

A breezy instrumental using hip hop samples. Solo, hip hop-style drums introduce the track. Vinyl scratching and vocal samples join in. A breezy keyboard and bass guitar line enter with a laid back groove that lasts for the whole track. A recurring motif of acoustic guitar samples and a drum break midway break up the steady repeated keyboard chord progression. Cool, fresh, relaxed and a bit edgy, this track would be suitable for travel/music docs, tv or film evoking breezy inner city life, or 90s nostalgia trips.

Hip hop instrumental with samples. 90s-influenced punchy piano samples, fleeting string samples, sparse synth melody, 90s beats and a magical orchestral sample. Hopeful, upbeat and summery, yet strange and tense, perfect for a slightly tense build-up onscreen. Breezy 90s vibes with a hint of strange uncertainty.

Piano-led orchestral/beat mash-up. Jazz drum intro, choppy jazz piano motif, driving drums. Orchestral strings join, smoothing out the disjointed piano, followed by edgy trap beats. Strings soar over the beats and grown-up piano. Abrupt ending. Jittery and excited at first, maturing throughout to a confident, epic piece. Would suit an advert for a transformative product, or a tv show interlude. A before and after from likeable and clumsy to impressive, mysterious, measured and powerful.

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.

Edgy and ominous, an orchestral madness with percussive timpani and violin clusters that take the listener directly in a battlefield of demonic setting. Great combination of dark, mystical, and action packed music for horrors and thrillers.

Epic electronics with strings. Noisy, atmospheric build, shifting sustained strings building a cacophonous soundscape cut through by screeching electronics and dark, brooding bass synth. Guitars and piano bring a sense of peace at the finish. Industrial, emotional and edgy, perfect for probing documentaries and dark TV dramas.

Haunting piano intro with eerie sound effects, joined by trip hop beat and warm piano chords.The beat picks up and the piano intensifies before going back to a steady groove with undulating bass guitar. Then growing in intensity with added string section, powerful bass and dynamic percussion. Warm, atmospheric, cool but tense, the perfect soundtrack to a cool action movie or tv series, or a moody, city-based advert.
