Dreamy and emotional but polluted in its arrangement, with digitally distorted synthesisers that swoop around the sonic sky and create an interesting black and white post apocalyptic romance theme. Futuristic and hypnotic, there is also a nice and straight kick drum bouncing on the lower spectrum of frequencies that help in establishing a catchy danceable rhythm.

In Between
A sensual patchwork of sounds that goes deep into funk and soul territories, with a solid bass line and catchy electric guitars to create a cool mix of pop, funk, soul and fusion. An interesting combination of early Phoenix and Jamiroquai, available with or without vocals.
West Side at Night
Catchy and groovy, with modern dub beats and a dusty low-fi feeling that take you for a spin in a city full of lights and graffiti. Good for urban settings with a skewed retro look, but also for showcase and promo videos.
Fast Life
Electronic track with samples and dark bassy beats. Fades in with electronic repeated riff and synth electric guitar sounds. Sustained synths and trap beats underpin the broad synth sound. High pitched sustained synth introduced. Fades in and out sporadically. Punchy, brash, moving with a strut, laid back but in your face, would suit an urban advert or background music for a youth culture documentary.
Pagume
African jazz instrumental. Snaking double bass intro, joined by jazz drums, vibraphone, electric guitar and keyboard playing a rhythmic motif. Change of rhythm, horn blasts then saxophone melody, subtle African-jazz style, effects-heavy electric guitar solo, brass noise before vibraphone motif returns and all play until the finish. Intriguing, exotic and sensual, with hints of Mulatu Astatke and a little Fela Kuti influence, would suit a travel documentary or Film/TV scene evoking the spirit of a hot night in urban 1970s Africa.
From Now On
Haunting piano intro with eerie sound effects, joined by trip hop beat and warm piano chords.The beat picks up and the piano intensifies before going back to a steady groove with undulating bass guitar. Then growing in intensity with added string section, powerful bass and dynamic percussion. Warm, atmospheric, cool but tense, the perfect soundtrack to a cool action movie or tv series, or a moody, city-based advert.
Bokat
Groovy double bass is the lynchpin of this four-to-the-floor dance track. Funny, exciting and a steady drive, suitable for comedy spots or funny material. You know those moments in Scooby-doo when everyone is chasing each other through all these doors in the same space? Well, like that but with a cultural edge.
