A trance synth beat takes things down before piano chords introduce a hyperactive finale. Nerve-wracking, exciting and full of anticipation, a nail-biting percussive race with Balearic House vibes, suitable for a any TV/Film/Advert scene where the heat is on and the clock is ticking.

Lush, quiet, heartfelt and uplifting, an emotional rollercoaster that would suit a TV/Film drama, or a trailer for a heartfelt film.
Inner City
Industrial hip hop track with effects-laden electric guitar.
