A short track telling of a sudden change of sorrow with piano, strings and percussion

Hard hitting orchestral hybrid teaser. Short, and very direct, it launches distorted synth missiles into our ears while pounding us with industrial cyber drums. Sweetening the pain with some fast violin ostinato won't save us, just increase the intensity until our insides disintegrate from the final sub bass drop. All very dramatic, you'll agree.

If you like your epic orchestral tracks with a heavy dose of sound design, this is the one. With all the usual cinematic tricks of string ostinato, huge brass lines and strong rhythmic accentuation, this adds an evident electro synth element right at the front. Sweepers, drops and pulses abound, it maintains its hybrid style for a relentless adrenalin fuelled attack of drama, tension and grandiose intrigue.

Funky club disco track with a carefree, summer feel. Smooth, but with high energy thanks mostly to an animated bass line, the main melody comes from the synth lead after a strummed, funk guitar intro. Building steadily throughout the track with added piano and effects only enhances the well rounded and full dance spirit of the party. Fresh sounding and modern with a nod to classic dancefloor groove.

Relentlessly marching forward like a futuristic army of committed androids, this hybrid track creates that militant backdrop of sinister suspense, juxtaposed with a subtle angelic command hovering above. More of an imposing action vibe than a melodic theme, it has a confrontational and impending feel about it in a traditionally cinematic style, adding synth elements to blend with an industrial, technological future.

An upbeat and energetic dance track, featuring driving beats, catchy bass lines and melodies and chopped electronic elements

Relive the era that saw the birth of synth pop with this light and carefree slice of nostalgia.

Looking for something different, with more than a touch of dark pop? Here we go - brooding atmosphere with sultry male vocals and a synth heavy backdrop. Deliberately disjointed with its constant tone changes but masterfully linked together with its memorable leads, rhythmic muted guitar and resonant synth frequencies, it's sexually super-charged and mystically erotic with a tense underlying grit. Hot. And sweaty.

Classic 70s disco funk. Good groove from the start, the main features become the wah guitar, string shorts and animated bass line. Synth enhancements - pads, risers and sweeps - help to fill out the track and reinforce that spacey retro vibe.

A downbeat chillhop track, making the most of lo-fi vibes and ambient textures to create a hazy, mellow feel with a modern touch. Lots of vintage tone from the electric piano and soft string pads brings the warmth, with a cool groove beat dropping in and out to change things up. Sprinkled with effects and accentuated by melodic and sonic background highlights, it's a laid back journey to nowhere in particular, and that's just fine.

a joyful track with simple melodies carried by piano slowly building with drums, bass and ambient textures.

Japanese influenced world music track. A simple koto theme with light taiko drums and raindrop backing, enhanced by synth pads and various sound design elements. Peaceful and traditional, creating a gently cinematic mood of Asia.

Atmospheric chill pop track. Soft keyboard, muted guitars, strings and a light, animated beat create an inspiring lifestyle feel, enhanced by sweeps and effects. Slight RnB trap influences keep it fresh and modern with a nod to the retro held up in the vintage keyboard tones. A simple but effective background track with a cool, clean vibe.

Futuristic ambient soundscape. Perfect as background music in science fiction movies, games and videos thanks to its digital sense of expanse and meandering openness, it's built on haunting synth tones and interjecting glitch effects and textures. No real rhythmic feel, just a dark and mysterious vibe with a hint of suspense.

An emotionally evocative cinematic track that builds from super soft to super charged. Gentle piano lulls you into the heart warming emotions but quickly builds through string ostinato into a much more intense and grand statement of love, honour and power. Epically moving with a rock solid foundation and direction - towards the light. Never forget, always progress.

An instrumental electro sci fi track with a familiar 80s style. Vintage arpeggiated lead and bass synth tones move us forward, backed by a rich electro beat and enhanced by percussive and tonal effects. A delicious grit in the pulsing bass and an ethereal quality to the choir and organ give a contrasting texture to this other-worldly piece of retro-future music, mysterious and transcending in equal measure.

Simple but effective tension builder, with just enough dramatic edge to play a perfect supporting role to picture. Swirling background strings, clean reverbed guitar lines and a prominent cello lead all combine over the haunting, repetitive minimalism of the piano resulting in a cinematic voyage of discovery and wonder. Enigmatic and ethereal with a sense of elegance and control.

Hypnotic and ethereal ambient piano soundscape, with lo-fi feels and a deep sense of trippy mysticism and satisfaction. Simple and gentle piano, lifted by spacey reverb and delay, is the main focus, punctuated with sonic textures and subtle synth patterns. The lack of chordal resolution keeps the track deliberately vague and ungrounded, generating a slow paced tension and release throughout.

Rhythmic soundscape, built on synth pads, arpeggiated leads and warped textures. 16th note delay creates constant movement. Overall, a slightly eerie, brooding atmosphere.

Cinematic dubstep with a promise to explode - but doesn't. A great tension builder with a foreboding intensity that grows through palm muted electric guitars, epic horns and synth textures. Mixing orchestral themes with aggressive rock and a slamming beat generates the powerful anticipation. After that, it's up to you where you position it, but it can hit hard.
