Atmospheric and contemplative, with a 16 bit feeling that reminds of video games from the eighties/early nineties. A hypnotic arpeggiated synth and digital flutes and bells create a sense of lightness and airiness. Zelda and Mario can finally meet up and glide azure skies with cotton candy clouds.

Brasil
Warm and sincere, an ambient episode with traces of tender melancholic elements. Emotional acoustic arpeggios and evocative solos of trumpet and acoustic guitar create a wonderful sense of longing in space and time. As the title suggests, there is indeed a south American edge here, but definitely more in a calm-sunset-on-a-beach sausade way than carnival party time.
Kill the robots
Repetitive and flowing, it starts tense with a rhythmical bass synth. Soon a detuned piano enters the scene to counter balance the darkness with some emotional lighter ideas. The bass follows it as a drum section slowly creeps in and helps in gaining strength to the tune. There is sense of longing and broken romance, but defiance and challenge are definitely ahead. Somewhat in between hi-tech and retro.
Letting You Win
Energetic with a modern feeling, featuring a compelling mix of electro synths and pop-rock instrumentation that deliver a perfect combo of inspirational coolness without getting too much in the way. Reminds a lesser version of some Coldplay hits. Ideal for bouncy corporate and inspirational videos.
Babylon
Groovy and modern, with a confident bass line and a classy electric guitar that mix in-your-face raggae elements with dub and dance rhythms. A-B-A-B structure with “anticipation moments” at 2:00 and 3:30. Resumes a definite funky vibe toward the end using also an interesting wobbly effect.
Africa
Confident, dynamic and well produced reggae, with a strong brass section and a tight arrangement. Elements of dub, imagine a laid back version of “I don’t like cricket”. Will suit beach, club, lounging scenes where you haven’t got a care in the world. Will suit ads, travel videos, anything with an exotic and bold vibe.
Doh Doh Doh
Jolly and lively, with quirky vocals and strummed acoustic guitars that create a fun and light 30 seconds episode of music. Ideal for light advertising, animations but also fun comedies and TV shows.
Luca’s Dream
Mysterious and magical, with a smooth vibraphone that tenderly takes you in a dream made of castles of sand, a lonely journey with unknown obstacles but a hopeful resolution. Fantasy settings and dreamy sequences are welcome here.
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.
