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.

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.

Cuban Guitar

Afro-cuban salsa played on guitar. Smooth, gentle acoustic guitar melodies and jazzy chords in salsa style with hints of flamenco ornamentation and woodblock percussion keeping the syncopated salsa beat. Chilled and laid back with a sensual intensity in the guitar melodies. Like Buena Vista Social Club, perfect for an advert or documentary with Spanish/Cuban/Latin American flavour.
