Catchy, cheesy and energetic, this mid-tempo track features a funky beat with clav, drums, and brass section. At 1:05 it features a quirky reverberated vibraphone. Tongue in cheek and in your face, it pays homage to Soul/RnB/Funk, ideal for something like Supermarket Sweep.
A compelling dialogue between a crunchy electric guitar and brass instruments, this tune successfully mixes mid-sixties elements with an energetic funky attitude. In the second part the brass section delivers a Ska punk aftertaste. Urge Overkill and sped-up Al Green make for a Tarantino-esque setting. Ideal for a title sequence, ad campaigns, TV shows.
Funky, energetic tune featuring a driving bass guitar, retro drum groove, smoking Hammond organs, and a punchy brass section. There are two harmonic shifts at 1:00 and 2:10. An instrumental James Brown playing with Earth Wind & Fire.
Pink Panther-esque jazz instrumental. Double Bass jazz motif tip-toes across the track, joined by clipped hand drums, Rhodes piano keyboard sound and sound effects. Mysterious, playful and suspenseful, perfect for an onscreen intrigue or a pastiche of retro whodunnits.
13 sec version available.
Relaxed rhodes piano with scatterings of upright bass, this is lounge jazz at its loungiest. Bordering on cheese but never quite getting there, feels like slightly kitsch splendour, glossy wonder, plastic fantastic, dripping with minimal sophistication. “Is that a cocktail shaker in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”. Perfect for opulent scenes.
African jazz instrumental. Snaking double bass intro, joined by jazz drums, vibraphone, electric guitar and keyboard playing a rhythmic motif. Change of rhythm, horn blasts then saxophone melody, subtle African-jazz style, effects-heavy electric guitar solo, brass noise before vibraphone motif returns and all play until the finish. Intriguing, exotic and sensual, with hints of Mulatu Astatke and a little Fela Kuti influence, would suit a travel documentary or Film/TV scene evoking the spirit of a hot night in urban 1970s Africa.
Synth pads and grooving hi-hat introduce a bold kick. Evolves by the book into an early house classic with 808 snares and claps. At 1:48 muted synth chords start stabbing the air, gradually building tension until dropping into a tight groove. Reminiscent of the music to “Good life” by Inner City, with better production. Retro, confident and driving. Vox version has a soulful male voice (Elliot Chapman).
Happy intro with solo violin riffs and evolving arpeggios, quickly form a firm driving groove with a strong roving bass line. Mood is neutral but chilled, then after a few breakdowns at 3:07 it reduces to a stomping 4-to-the-floor cut down beat before the rest of the elements crash back in. I could personally listen to that reduced beat all day – awesome production throughout. Understated, refined and sophisticated. Vox version has a soulful male voice (Elliot Chapman).
Lush pensive evolving synths introduce joined by a muted build up of kick, bold funky rhodes and synth bass arpeggios. The track teases you by rising and falling, not ever quite kicking in but building deliciously with percussion and synth pads, keeping you on tenderhooks thoughout. Dark, sultry and sophisticated dance music. Vox version has a soulful male voice (Elliot Chapman).
Crisp summery house beats with tasteful conga and a bassline that is just falling over itself. Soft rhodes and tinkling percussion create a lush atmosphere, reminds me of a dreamy beach party in Ibiza. Alone – Blissfully dancing on your own maybe? As opposed to being alone and sad with no mates 🙂 Vox version has a soulful male voice (Elliot Chapman)
