Sparse synth-heavy track. Fast, bloopy, arpeggiated synths ascending, overlapping, building and falling. Frantic, energetic and hopeful, would suit a youth documentary or edgy content.

Minimal trap. Cold synth melody over male vocal sample, first high-pitched, then repeated in a low register. Sparse beat drops. Quicker hi-hat beat added with finger-snap style beat. Dark, edgy and cool, perfect for an atmospheric advert for streetwear or a documentary about youth culture or TV drama.

Deep house 90s-style track. Heavy beats with intermittent colourful breathy synths. House synth chords and hi-hats build momentum, choral-like synths swell and more beats drop. Fun squeaks and playful high pitched synths add light-hearted texture. Sincere and thoughtful, yet fun and playful, perfect for TV sports coverage, an edgy urban documentary or a cool advert.

We Are Together
Hopeful orchestral track. Delicate horn drone rings out, introduces choppy violins building suspense, lush orchestral strings swell, tinkling bell-like effects and anticipatory drums build before a twinkling percussive ending. Inspiring, atmospheric and brimming with warmth and hope, reminiscent of Coca-Cola’s iconic Christmas advert, or a joyful episode of Planet Earth, perfect for nature programming, inspiring adverts or wholesome family TV.

Trap with epic choral sample. Throbbing bass, dramatic choral vocal sample blasts, drops back to deep bass before vocals return with a busy trap hi-hat beat and subtle electronic effects. Bold, powerful and ambitious, perfect soundtrack to edgy content.

Gang Ish
Dark hip hop with gunshot samples. Bleepy synth intro with effects, a foreboding piano riff then a break. Beats build to a deep, punchy, bass synth melody. Piano returns, more beats and gunshot samples. Threatening, tense and frightening, a seemingly bouncy track with a dark underbelly, would suit topical, crime documentaries or content.

Cosa Nostra
Dark trap. Bell-like keyboard motif builds mystery and tension. Rattling, unsettling chords reiterate the creepy melody before a syncopated Latin-style beat and hi-hat trap beat grounds the track. Quiet moments with the eerie distant sounds of thunder and rain like a bad omen. Uneasy and tense with a sense of foreboding, like a trap Twin Peaks soundtrack, perfect for dark TV show where danger is around every corner.

Less is More
Dark breakbeat EDM. Muted bass line with orchestral string drone and flurries of 90s-style breakbeat drum samples. Full on breakbeat enters with intermittent Middle Eastern samples. Driving, powerful and harsh with a hint of melancholy. Would suit a topical, Vice-style documentary or advert for cutting edge trainers.

Marrakech
Hip hop / Arabic fusion. String intro, swooping and choppy, beats drop in contrast, harp-like synth noodling on top brings lightness. Flute takes on the melody to end. Serious, determined and intriguing, insistent strings and beats to suit cross-cultural content.

Snow Man
Dark, mysterious hip hop track. High-pitched synths like police sirens, and the real thing, over plodding synth melody. Fast-paced hi-hat trap beat enters, booming bassy synths populate the deep end. Comes down a notch with woodblock beats before the trap attack returns. Unsettling, nerve-wracking and tense, perfect soundtrack late-night inner-city subterfuge.
