Chilled hip hop with bouncy 80s synth. Dreamy, atmospheric synth pads with female vocal sample. Fat 80s synths, syncopated percussion, hip hop beats and spacey synth pads give way to a piano chord break. Funky with lots of attitude, yet sensual and calm. Would suit a cool advert or a decisive or reflective reality TV moment.

Dreams of Neon
Bouncy electronic track. Arpeggiated laser synths shoot into space, bouncy synth chords soften the atmosphere, joined by a laid back, funky synth melody and 80s beats. A dreamy break then retro synth with 80s computer game tendencies takes over. Another calm interlude before YMO-style electric guitar soloing goes rogue. Upbeat, triumphant and audacious, a self-assured synth odyssey to match an epic visual delight.
Dat Funk
Funky synth track. Syncopated beat intro, woozy synths come in sideways and wonky synth melodies create an off-kilter funk jam. Spacey section floating on a synthy rainbow road, electric guitar-like synth melody builds the energy. Alternates between funky builds to a mesh of synths and beats and dreamy synth sections. Chilled, fun and positive, with swing and swagger, perfect for a commercial advert for funky clothing or good times, or for a laid back reality TV montage sequence.
Sideline
Laid back funky R’n’B. Funk bass line intro with woozy synth chords and playful samples. Calm, jazzy synth chords layered on top, vocal samples and wonky synths create an experimental feel before laid back drums ground the track. Jazz piano samples add a sprinkle of colourful lightness. Chilled, serene and carefree, smooth funk with a quirky edge, perfect for a retro advert or urban documentary.
Utter Nutter Theme (Suite)
Groovy 70s funk. Cheesy horn blasts, funky beats, vinyl scratching samples, zany saxophone interludes and jazz piano in your face in an explosion of wacky, swirling 70s groove. Fun, upbeat and happy, retro 70s New York vibes with a cheesy edge, imagine as a TV theme tune for a NYC cop show about 2 crazy cops getting into some hilarious scrapes, or for an advert promising to inject excitement into family mealtimes.
Electric Dust
Electronic instrumental with fat synths. Electronic beats and congas to start, joined by electric guitar build up, anticipatory synths grow to a frenetic, squelchy synth section with industrial beats. Clunky, noisy beats give way to a delicate and funky guitar riff. Builds back to punchy, garish synths and relentless, driving beats. Hyperactive, unpredictable and high-energy, positive party music to build excitement. Would suit a rollicking ad campaign or breathless onscreen chase scene.
Love To Groove
Smooth funk instrumental. Funky guitar intro with optimistic piano chords. Drums build to a full-on funk-off. Upbeat chorus of funky electric guitar riffs, an insistent synth line and a steady drum groove and hand claps percussion. Comes down to hand claps and synth before building to the punchy chorus once more. Electric guitar solo overlaid to finish. Fun, uplifting and hedonistic, good time perfect party music for a slick and stylish advert.
Resort by the Ocean
Sparkling synthpop. Delicate beats, funky muted bass line and shimmering sweeping spacey synths. Atmospheric, ambient and hopeful, calm yet fun, perfect positive background music for a chilled advert or a reality TV show where robots go to Ibiza to find love.
New Elevator
Electronic synth track. Breezy synth intro with chunky tropical beats underneath. Chilled beats and a laid back lounge vibe. Synth build to a funkier section, more prominent funk bass guitar and catchy synth motif. Fresh, colourful and bright, synth sunshine, calming background music in a luxury elevator or lounging in a flashy spa. “Been around the world and ay-ay-ay…” Lisa Stansfield lounging in early 90s ibiza, perfect for smooth and cheesy adverts and similar TV.
Vice
Imagine Beverly Hill’s Cop mixed with a bit of “It was acceptable in the 80s” and this is what you get. Unashamedly bold drums joined by rhythmic synth stabs and bass, then for me it really comes into it’s own around one minute in, when you realise that with the introduction of electric guitar that we are actually pretty funky up in here. Elements of fast cut establishing sequences, 80s montage scenes, dance scenes, retro stuff, and some sort of comedy scene where everyone is running around a big house without everyone knowing.
