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.

New Toy
Woozy, dark electronica. Vertigo-inducing synths wobble and swerve over bleeps, whirrs and the deepest synth bass, sounding like an alien trying to sing in slow motion. Disconcerting, sinister and strange, would suit a menacing movie scene or a dark alley onscreen encounter…in the future.
Training Grounds
Sophisticated electronica. Clanging piano chord intro, deep bass beats enter underneath and synths on top. Bass deepens, warm and full, with bright chords chiming above. Some vocal samples. Classy, contemporary and self-assured, hinting at a darkness beneath, reminiscent of Little Dragon or Santigold, perfect for a confident advert or victorious TV moment.
The Uprising
World fusion with beats. Samples depicting a fight give way to male choral vocal samples over a snaking violin line and global beats. Beats come on stronger, settling into a deep Arabic-style groove with choppy violins adding drama later on. Curious, dark and slightly menacing, danger in a foreign land, perfect for Killing Eve style globe-trotting TV drama, travel documentaries or classy car adverts with an international twist.
The Shard
Melancholy sample-laden electronica. Pizzicato strings, joined by pastoral flute sample and orchestral sample. Harp effects interspersed with heavy syncopated beats and big D’n’B womps. Orchestral strings some to the fore midway, then settles back to the mid-tempo groove. Bold and brazen with a regal air, if Jason Bourne starred in the Wind in the Willows, perfect mash-up for dance content or tongue-in-cheek adverts.
Subconcious Chant
World fusion with beats. Dub reggae bass line with orchestral string playing on an Arabic-style melody, melancholy choral vocal samples, moody electronics, and piano chords over a trip hop/ breakbeat beat. Brooding, thoughtful and searching, a vast, global sound perfect for travel documentaries or cross-cultural content.
Revenge
Murky hip hop with electric guitar. Plucked fuzzy electric guitar riff, over a heavier, more abrasive riff. Minimal beats to start, building to fast trap beats with deep bass, church organ and vocal samples. Insistent, unyielding and slightly melancholy with a hint of insouciance, would suit dark TV moments or a tense investigative documentary.
Secrets
Warm, summery hip hop. Fat synth chord intro, retro and fuzzy, trap beats and cute, bleepy melody line added, then jazzy vocal samples. Chilled, calm and breezy, perfect laid back soundtrack to fashion content or a free-wheeling TV sequence.
Paradise
Breezy summer beats. Wonky flute-like synth pads with tinkling piano. Big synth melody enters before a sexy and satisfying beat drop. Bright and breezy trap beats give way to sparkling chimes for the break. Blissful, laid back and cool, like a warm summer breeze, perfect jam for pop culture content.
Listen
Breezy hip hop with piano. 90s R’n’B style piano chords intro with distant reverb-laden vocal samples. Tight beat drops, slow and smooth. Shaker beats and orchestral string samples bring more of the 90s R’n’B flavour. Melancholy, romantic, sensual, yearning; sitting home, waiting for that telephone to ring…would suit a thoughtful, glamorous fashion advert or documentary/TV drama.
