Purple Evening
STYE1158 · Soul Monkey · John Shamir, Alexandre Quaglia
2:00·85 bpm·Cm·3 versions
Soul, RetroAtmosphere, Business, Cool

A slow-burning 85bpm soul groove in C minor, built on relaxed drums, round bass, clean electric guitar and horn/brass punctuation. The minor key keeps it cool and dusky rather than upbeat, and the tight two-minute length makes it an easy drop-in bed for narrated brand or lifestyle spots.

Silken Touch
STYE1158 · Soul Monkey · John Shamir, Alexandre Quaglia
2:03·80 bpm·B flatm·3 versions
Soul, RetroAtmosphere, Business, Cool

The smoothest cut on the set: 80bpm funk-soul in B flat minor with Hammond and Rhodes cushioning the drums, bass and guitar, and trumpet leading the horn lines. Silky and unhurried throughout, with no big build — a two-minute mood piece for polished, sensual visuals.

Love Trick
STYE1158 · Soul Monkey · John Shamir, Alexandre Quaglia
2:29·90 bpm·A·3 versions
Soul, RetroAtmosphere, Cool, Feel Good

Brighter and more playful than its neighbours, sitting in major-key A at 90bpm with funky drums, bass, wah-ready electric guitar, Hammond, Rhodes and trumpet-led horns. The happy, flirtatious tone and 2:28 runtime suit comedic or feel-good sequences that need a full arc.

Take It Easy
STYE1158 · Soul Monkey · John Shamir, Alexandre Quaglia
2:04·90 bpm·Cm·3 versions
Soul, RetroAtmosphere, Cool, Feel Good

A leaner 90bpm funk-soul groove in C minor — drums, bass, electric guitar, Hammond, Rhodes and trumpet, with no thick brass section, so the mix stays open. Cool and unbothered as the title suggests, and a good bed for narration over easygoing everyday footage.

Wind Of Love
STYE1158 · Soul Monkey · John Shamir, Alexandre Quaglia
3:25·90 bpm·B·3 versions
Soul, RetroAtmosphere, Business, Cool

The longest track here at 3:24, a smooth-jazz leaning soul groove in major-key B at 90bpm with saxophone out front over drums, bass, guitar, Hammond, Rhodes and brass. Warm and romantic with room to develop across its length, so it can carry a longer scene without a hard edit.

Meet In Love
STYE1158 · Soul Monkey · John Shamir, Alexandre Quaglia
2:34·80 bpm·Am·1 versions
Soul, RetroAtmosphere, Business, Cool

An 80bpm A minor soul cue with a jazzy edge, kept simple with drums, bass, electric guitar and horn/brass colour rather than keys. Relaxed and slightly wistful, it works as a tender mid-length backdrop for reflective or romantic storytelling.

Pacha Street
STYE1158 · Soul Monkey · John Shamir, Alexandre Quaglia
3:11·90 bpm·E flatm·4 versions
Soul, RetroAtmosphere, Business, Cool

Three minutes of cool, urban-flavoured soul in E flat minor at 90bpm, driven by drums, bass and electric guitar with brass accents and a smooth-jazz sensibility. The darker minor key and longer runtime give it a night-time street feel useful for atmospheric city sequences.

Pleasure Of Love
STYE1158 · Soul Monkey · John Shamir, Alexandre Quaglia
2:22·68 bpm·Dm·3 versions
Soul, RetroAtmosphere, Business, Cool

The slowest cue at 68bpm, a dreamy D minor soul groove with laid-back drums, bass, electric guitar and soft horn/brass shading. Hazy and intimate rather than driving, ideal where the picture needs warmth and space under dialogue or voiceover.

70s Lounge
STYE1158 · Soul Monkey · John Shamir, Alexandre Quaglia
2:29·90 bpm·A·4 versions
Soul, RetroAtmosphere, Cool, Feel Good

A cheerful 90bpm funk-soul number in A major with organ, trumpet and full horns over drums, bass and electric guitar — the most overtly period-retro cue in the collection. Fun and confident across 2:29, suited to anything that wants an unmistakable seventies lounge stamp.
