There Was A Time

Advertising, SoulCool, Feel Good, Happy

Fast 144bpm vintage funk in B flat minor, driven by live horn stabs, saxophone and trumpet over organ, bass and scratchy electric guitar. The minor key gives the party a slightly gritty, streetwise edge, and at two minutes it works as a tight, punchy ad bed.

Advertising, SoulCool, Feel Good, Happy

Bright, shuffling C major funk at 133bpm with live brass section, organ and busy bass, no guitar in the mix so the horns and keys carry the hook. The shortest of the up-tempo cuts at 1:52, cut for quick feel-good spots.

2:48·100 bpm·F·2 versions
Advertising, SoulCool, Feel Good, Happy

A relaxed mid-tempo 100bpm soul groove in F with piano, organ, electric guitar and a full live horn section riding a laid-back drum and bass pocket. Its 2:48 length and steady feel-good pulse leave room for narration between horn phrases.

The Runaround

2:05·144 bpm·C·2 versions
Advertising, SoulCool, Feel Good, Happy

Frantic 144bpm funk in C major with piano and organ trading against punchy saxophone and trumpet lines over a driving rhythm section. The title's chase energy suits comic pursuit and deadline sequences; two minutes of near-constant motion.

2:46·88 bpm·B flat·2 versions
Advertising, SoulChill, Cool, Moody

The album's slow, moody outlier: 88bpm in B flat with warm organ, mellow electric guitar and softly voiced horns for a chilled, romantic late-day feel. Relaxed and unhurried across 2:46, it sits comfortably under dialogue or narration.

Lay It Down

1:33·124 bpm·E flat·2 versions
Advertising, SoulCool, Feel Good, Happy

The shortest cue here at 1:33 — a lean, quirky 124bpm funk in E flat built on organ, piano, bass and cracking live brass. Designed as a compact, confident cutdown for a 60- or 30-second spot.

2:04·96 bpm·Am·2 versions
Advertising, SoulCool, Sexy

Sultry, strutting 96bpm groove in A minor with electric guitar, organ, bass and smoky saxophone and trumpet — cooler and more sexed-up than the album's happier cuts. The minor tonality and slow swagger make it a natural for entrances and money shots.

2:24·92 bpm·Gm·2 versions
Advertising, SoulCool, Sexy

Slow-burning 92bpm funk in G minor with piano and organ under a tough live horn section and a heavy bass-and-drum pocket. Cool and sexy rather than cheerful, and its 2:24 gives space for a scene to build attitude.

2:03·116 bpm·A flat·2 versions
Advertising, SoulCool, Feel Good, Happy

A cocky mid-tempo 116bpm strut in A flat with piano, organ, bass and cheeky saxophone and trumpet figures. Playful and quirky rather than menacing, well suited to comic swagger and character introductions.

Dance With Me
STYE1020 · Feed The Funk · Toby James
2:00·131 bpm·F·2 versions
Advertising, SoulCool, Feel Good, Happy

Happy dancefloor soul at 131bpm in F, with electric guitar and piano locked to organ, bass and bright live brass. Two minutes of steady, positive motion that plays as the album's straightest party cue.
