Disco, FunkFeel Good, Fun, Funky

The album's most overtly seventies cut: a 114bpm disco-funk groove in D minor built on rolling bass, tight drums, scratchy electric guitar and a trumpet-and-sax horn section. At nearly three minutes it's the longest, giving it room to ride the groove for extended montage rather than a quick sting.

Corporate, FunkFeel Good, Fun, Funky

A polished 116bpm corporate funk bed in A flat with handclaps, smooth-jazz sax and stabbing horns over a clean bass-and-drum pocket. The title marks it as a bumper: short, breezy and designed to hand off to a commercial break.

After This Break

1:59·116 bpm·C·3 versions
Corporate, FunkFeel Good, Fun, Funky

The tightest, briefest cue here — just under two minutes of major-key C funk at 116bpm with electric guitar comping, bass, drums and sax-led horns. Its brevity and bright key make it a natural return-from-break or intro sting for a daytime format.

2:29·120 bpm·Dm·3 versions
Corporate, FunkFeel Good, Fun, Funky

At 120bpm in D minor this is a brisker, street-level funk groove distinguished by Hammond organ sitting under the guitar, bass and sax horns. The minor key gives it a slightly cooler, more urban edge than the major-key bumpers on the album.

Disco, FunkFeel Good, Fun, Funky

A 112bpm disco-funk cut in A flat minor with a trumpet-forward horn line and no sax, leaning harder on bass, drums and rhythm guitar. The darker minor colour and vintage seventies feel make it the moodiest groove in the set.

Corporate, FunkFeel Good, Fun, Funky

A three-minute stylish funk groove in E minor at 112bpm, with synth sweetening added to the usual bass, drums, guitar and sax horns. Its length and cooler, more design-led feel suit longer edits where the music needs to carry a whole sequence.

Corporate, FunkFeel Good, Fun, Funky

A compact 113bpm funk cue in E flat minor with claps, punchy bass and drums, guitar chops and a trumpet-and-sax horn section. Two minutes flat makes it a ready-made montage or bumper length with an upbeat lift despite the minor key.

2:26·110 bpm·Dm·3 versions
Corporate, FunkFeel Good, Fun, Funky

The slowest cue on the album at 110bpm, a D minor disco-leaning funk groove with claps, warm bass, guitar and full horns. The relaxed tempo gives it a strutting, dancefloor-adjacent swagger rather than a rushed corporate push.

Sunset Affair

2:10·120 bpm·C·3 versions
Corporate, FunkFeel Good, Fun, Funky

Bright and easy: 120bpm in C major with claps, smooth-jazz sax, trumpet and a clean funk rhythm section. Its major key and short runtime make it the sunniest, most immediately positive option on the album.

Crazy Mojo
STYE1109 · Funky Grooves · John Shamir, Alexandre Quaglia
2:15·121 bpm·Em·4 versions
Corporate, FunkFeel Good, Fun, Funky

The fastest cue at 121bpm, an E minor funk groove with claps, driving bass and drums, guitar and a trumpet-and-sax horn section. Stylish and slightly cheeky in character, it pushes harder than the album's mid-tempo bumpers.
