Chilled hip hop with bouncy 80s synth. Dreamy, atmospheric synth pads with female vocal sample. Fat 80s synths, syncopated percussion, hip hop beats and spacey synth pads give way to a piano chord break. Funky with lots of attitude, yet sensual and calm. Would suit a cool advert or a decisive or reflective reality TV moment.

Never Have I
Futuristic electronica with a tropical flavour. Oceanic synth pads, glittering synth melody and French accordion. Deep beats drops, warm and mellow, with chunky marimba chords, and a driving ‘chorus’ with polished swagger. Atmospheric, reflective and contemporary, perfect brooding electronica for slick adverts or glossy reality TV.
Keep Loving Me
Dark electronica with vocal sample refrain. Sparse, bleepy synth intro with watery delay effects. ‘Keep on lovin’ me’ female vocal sample repeated rhythmically over a determined, striding slow breakbeat. Tender yet menacing synths play out a hooky melody on top. Unsettling and tense with a terrifying passion, obsessive yearning to suit a dramatic TV sequence or fashion story.
Queen
Dreamy R’n’B. Bloopy synth intro then woozy dreamlike synths contrasted with dancehall woodblock beats. Deep bass beats and shaker and a synth skank complete the intricate rhythmic patchwork. Soulful piano brings wistful sophistication. Downbeat and nostalgic, yet bright and hopeful, instrumental bedroom hip hop to suit onscreen romance or gentle, thoughtful content.
History
Hip hop track with orchestral strings. Melancholy string intro. Minimal beats before a bass drop. Deep bass synth mines the underbelly, trap beats up top and church-like bell sample and choral vocal samples add to the eerie atmosphere. Dark, sombre and quietly epic, like Gangsta’s Paradise without Coolio, perfect for an investigative documentary or epic domestic drama of the streets.
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.
Paradise Gardens
Positive piano track with electronics. Warm, sweeping electronic effects and bright piano motifs build up to interlocking pizzicato strings, creating joyful anticipation. Reverb brings fuzzy, hopeful warmth, like a summers day in a beautiful garden. Inspiring, happy and atmospheric, perfect for a nature programme or a fun and intriguing onscreen mystery.
Angst at the Bay
Epic, atmospheric synth track. A wash of broad synths and wind-like rushes, evoking a cold, post-apocalyptic natural world. Orchestral string-like synths slowly add a hint or warmth and hope. Emotional, bleak and desolate, introspective soundscape to suit a reflective TV scene, an epic nature documentary or romantic film scene.
Ringworld
Fantasy synth track. Soft arpeggiated synth and ambient water sounds morph into a dreamy, repetitive synth melody. Drops to delicate wash of gentle dusky synths, morphing to a quieter sound with birds and flowing streams conjuring images of an idyllic natural world. Pastoral, combining nature and technology, beautiful, like an ambient, instrumental Grimes track, would suit nature documentaries, warm yet futuristic TV scenes and atmospheric podcasting.
Triplet Storm Part 1
Arpeggiated synth track. Fast synth arpeggios, vast and expansive, spread out across a fantasy world, changing in texture and volume, morphing yet insistent. Dark, introspective and epic, perfect computer game soundtrack or soundscape for a rigorous podcast or factual documentary.
