Mood
Mellow r’n’b with piano. Synth pad intro with 90s piano chords joining on top. Trap beats and percussive samples drop in. Breezy, wistful and sensual, a romantic instrumental for reality TV, fashion adverts or cool documentaries.
Training Grounds
Sophisticated electronica. Clanging piano chord intro, deep bass beats enter underneath and synths on top. Bass deepens, warm and full, with bright chords chiming above. Some vocal samples. Classy, contemporary and self-assured, hinting at a darkness beneath, reminiscent of Little Dragon or Santigold, perfect for a confident advert or victorious TV moment.
Subconcious Chant
World fusion with beats. Dub reggae bass line with orchestral string playing on an Arabic-style melody, melancholy choral vocal samples, moody electronics, and piano chords over a trip hop/ breakbeat beat. Brooding, thoughtful and searching, a vast, global sound perfect for travel documentaries or cross-cultural content.
Listen
Breezy hip hop with piano. 90s R’n’B style piano chords intro with distant reverb-laden vocal samples. Tight beat drops, slow and smooth. Shaker beats and orchestral string samples bring more of the 90s R’n’B flavour. Melancholy, romantic, sensual, yearning; sitting home, waiting for that telephone to ring…would suit a thoughtful, glamorous fashion advert or documentary/TV drama.
Sorry
Melancholy trap with orchestral strings. Sombre piano chord intro, trap beats drop. Woozy bass synth unsettles. Flickering beats, breathy vocal samples and austere orchestral strings add complexity. Determined and driven yet slightly sentimental, perfect for the reflective aftermath of a bittersweet and decisive onscreen moment; don’t look back as you walk away.
Harlequin
Downbeat EDM. Throbbing bass line with hard hi-hat hits. Sombre piano introduced, becoming melancholy chords, along with added beats. Comes down to a reflective synth break before it builds back up with string-like synths and deep bass. Pensive, dark and introspective with glimmers of hope, perfect for a thoughtful onscreen moment, a tough decision, or a sincere documentary.
Dangerous
Dreamy synths under hip hop beats with helium vocal samples. Male vocal samples interspersed with child-like vox, like Sampha in a tender duet with a chipmunk. Laid back beats and rippling piano chords keep it chilled. Thoughtful, gentle and soft in contrast with the chunky beats. Would suit emotional or tongue-in-cheek content.
Overtime
Chilled trap/hip hop track. Summery Roland-esque organ sounds and quavering church-like synth strings build anticipation before trap beat drops. Devotional piano chords add to the gospel vibes. Zealous male vocal samples at intervals and deep bassy beats interspersed with breezy hi-hat interludes. Laid back, warm and uplifting, inspiring and reverent yet cool, like Kanye West’s Sunday service, hip hop and gospel influences, perfect for hopeful pop culture documentaries for adverts or calmly climactic TV sequences.
The 3rd Vision
Dark hip hop with orchestral strings. Hip hop mash up – beats, choppy orchestral string motif, strange vocal sample, and honky-tonk jazz piano sample, wailing violins and grounding piano chords.Driving, determined and bold, would suit a critical, dramatic onscreen moment, or an irreverent documentary highlighting serious issues.
