Noise Water Beats

Experimental Lo-Fi Hip Hop track. Ambient sounds with a degrading, crackling quality, kitchen pottering, water whooshing, industrial machine-like noises, joined by resonant piano chords and crunchy beats. 90s, Hip Hop beats drive the track, with looped piano chords and background noise a constant. Mysterious, experimental, chilled and darkly playful, like exploring the Looney Tunes Haunted House, off-kilter beats and samples to suit a Vice news style documentary or contemporary urban filmmaking.

Improvisatory oud track. Meandering oud solo, measured and spacious, with pauses full of resonance and contemplation. Expressive, contemplative and meditative, perfect music to accompany a middle Eastern landscape on screen, vast, beautiful and unpredictable.

Upbeat pop rock instrumental with optional vocal ‘Ooohs’. Tight drums, bouncy synths and sweet vocals with fast, comical drum fills.

Get Your Groove On

Upbeat 80s/90s-style pop track. Hand-clap intro before bouncy beats bust in with a fat synth melody. Sparkling synth punctuates the track while synth lines and and jolly beats dance around each other. Clubby synth break removes the melody bringing a harder vibe. Like a gently euphoric Pet Shop Boys track, bright and bouncy but with a hint of nostalgia, perfect background music for a cheeky advert or TV segment.

Turbo-trap track. Relentless beats and hyperactive synths make a cacophonous rollercoaster ride though a cartoon dimension, passing 808s and collecting snare beats like golden coins. Manic, intense and nerve-wracking, insanely upbeat electronics for a deranged advert or wild TV ride.

Polished clubby electronica. Fat synths interspersed with dynamic, glossy, banging beats. Melancholy synth chords and vocal samples add an introspective edge. Dark, determined and driven, 90s-style sample-heavy electronica, perfect for a sombre documentary or thoughtful, difficult and decisive TV scene.

Slow, emotive piano track with violin and clarinet. Sparse, atmospheric piano, chords resonating, single piano notes ringing out above. Passionate violin enters with long, languid notes full of yearning. Clarinet takes over on melody, before both intertwine for the final section. Heartfelt, gentle and melancholy, perfect tender soundtrack to a moving Film/TV scene.

Chilled 90s instrumental. Summery synth samples, woozy and hazy to begin. Laid back 90s-style drums kick in, vinyl scratching added, bringing full 90s vibes. Subtle percussive vocal samples in the break with washy samples Beat drops again, remains to a blissed-out finish. Hopeful, warm, content and positive, a relaxed instrumental, prefect for bright, summery adverts – picture friends getting together, having a drink, or cruising around town in a beat-up car on a hot summer’s day.

The Militant Upcycle

Bloopy, psychedelic electronic track. Gentle, reverb-laden synth patterns, repeated, morphing into a noisier sound, growing more intense. A wash of fuzzy, atmospheric noise drowns out the synth melodies. Hints of My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab, Broadcast and Air, sepia-tinted electronics mingle with harsh noise in a satisfying contrast. Warm, gentle, searching and plodding to begin with, more intense, powerful and expansive as the track progresses. Perfect atmospheric film or documentary music, retro-futuristic and edgy, reminiscent of the Lost in Translation soundtrack.

Atmospheric electronic instrumental. Layers of ambient drones suspended in mid air with hints of harmony emerging. Calm, peaceful and dreamy, suitable for a seemingly calm documentary or tv sequence with slightly shifting, moving and wandering, like a raft adrift on the ocean.
