Atmospheric pulsating electronics that turn into an indie-style track. Psychedelic Broadcast-like electronic drone build up like radio static with pulsating synth, flickering beats and anticipatory piano chords. Gives way to a driving indie section with punchy drums bass guitar softened by synthy electronics. Intimate, mysterious, cool and romantic, this track brings curious anticipation and then colourful euphoria- playful uncertainty before the joy and excitement of a life-changing moment.

Laid back lounge track. Shimmering synths, horns samples, shuffling drums and a breezy acoustic guitar riff. Vibraphone adds a touch of jazz and a tinkling brightness. Balearic vibes, sunshine and sparkling turquoise waters. Cool, easy-going and calming. Perfect background music for a holiday advert: sipping on a refreshing cocktail, watching the burning orange sunset in a dream destination. Or suitable as relaxing background music for factual TV.

Chilled bleepy electronic slow jam. Underwater synth chords joined by drums and bongo samples. Flute-like synth samples flit overhead, adding a tropical colour. 90s hip hop drums and a bassy synth line add depth. After a drum break with flute samples, the silvery synth returns. Cool, mysterious and a little bit playful, perfect for ads for a fresh new product or a trippy, surreal or exotic film/TV sequence.

Electronic trip hop instrumental track. Water sounds, electronic lasers, organ-like drone snatches. Naive riff on cutesy synth turns is joined by trip hop beats, shuffling drums and synthesised string interludes. Fleeting sitar samples and scratchy electronics punctuate the beat. Electronic/drone break before the riff and frantic electronics, like vinyl-scratching, rejoin until the end. Cool, laid-back and urban, a throwback to the baggy trouser days of the 90s, with a hint of Morcheeba. Would suit adverts for clothing or lifestyle products, or as background music for an urban drama or documentary.

Electronic, hip hop instrumental track with string samples. String samples, dramatic piano chords, crunchy beats, police sirens, ‘ID please’ vocal sample, joined by more samples and a 90s West Coast woozy theremin-like synth line. Tense, urban and highly strung, would suit a tense cop drama or documentary exploring street culture.

Upbeat track led by synth samples and hip hop drums. Shooting spacey synth sample with syncopated jazzy chords on top. Boom bap hip hop drums introduced, then a subtle melodic synth line. Interlude with drums and interlaced spacey bell-like synth samples. Ends on synth melody alone. Positive and relaxed, yet upbeat and energetic, this track would suit travel docs or film/tv montage sequences.

A sample-heavy 90s hip hop-inspired track. Starting with a low rumble sound effect, the boom bap beat drops, then brass section samples, orchestral-style string samples, and spacey electronic samples complete the 90s pastiche. Intrigue, glamour and danger are evoked but in a goofy way- hip hop James Bond.

A 90s-inspired-by-the-70s chill-out jazzy hip hop jam with drums, bass and keys. Drums and bass keep things steady as mellow repeated keyboard chords and a twinkling keyboard motif play on top. Cool, romantic, laid back and warm, this mellow jam would suit retro tv and film scenes where our character drives or struts through familiar streets.

A breezy instrumental using hip hop samples. Solo, hip hop-style drums introduce the track. Vinyl scratching and vocal samples join in. A breezy keyboard and bass guitar line enter with a laid back groove that lasts for the whole track. A recurring motif of acoustic guitar samples and a drum break midway break up the steady repeated keyboard chord progression. Cool, fresh, relaxed and a bit edgy, this track would be suitable for travel/music docs, tv or film evoking breezy inner city life, or 90s nostalgia trips.

Flying Feeling

A 90s inspired, chilled out jazzy hip hop track. A 4-3-2-1, vocal countdown then chilled out piano, warm mellow synth and samples take the lead. A boom bap hip hop beat drops, laid back and blissed out. Piano becomes more prominent, then golden sustained synth chords hang, waiting for resolution. A fuzzy synth repeated phrase is hard to pin down, flying free, not landing, no resolution. Hopeful, warm, inspired and free, this track would suit film and tv sequences. Driving through deserted city streets on a sunny evening, sun low in the sky, bleached out visuals, orange light on tarmac. Freedom and serenity.
