A 98bpm trip hop groove in G minor built on a laid-back beat, warm bass, wide synth pads and scattered vocal samples and effects that give it a human edge. Cool and unhurried rather than melancholy, it holds a steady mood for three minutes without demanding attention.

Lo-fi tinted downtempo at 94bpm in E flat, with a dusty beat, rounded bass and hazy pad washes; the major key keeps it warm and unclouded. The longest of the pad-and-beat cues here, it suits extended sequences that need a stylish, unobtrusive bed.

The brightest and most upbeat of the set at 105bpm in C sharp, pairing a crisp beat and rolling bass with synths and string lines for a glossy, sun-warmed feel. Feel-good and lightly sensual, it drives forward more than the album's dreamier cuts.

The soulful outlier: a 95bpm neo-soul leaning trip hop groove in D minor with piano chords, electric guitar licks, fat bass and a funky hip hop beat. Confident and swaggering, it carries more melodic personality than the atmospheric tracks around it.

At 4:33 the longest cue on the album, a relaxed 93bpm groove in G with soft beat, easy bass, synth textures and string pads for a warm poolside glow. Sensual and vacation-minded, its length makes it a practical choice for full scenes rather than short cutdowns.

A 95bpm downtempo groove in C, resting on a mid-tempo beat, deep bass and open ethereal pads; the major key gives it a clear, documentary-friendly calm. Steady and reflective across nearly four minutes with no dramatic turns.

The slowest and most introspective of the pad-driven cuts, an 84bpm lo-fi trip hop groove in G minor with a heavy, dragging beat, sub bass and misty synth pads. Its darker key and low pulse suit contemplative, night-lit footage.

A 105bpm groove in C sharp minor that moves with more forward momentum than its siblings while keeping the same beat, bass and pad palette. Sleek and slightly shadowed, and short enough at under three minutes to sit neatly under a cutdown.

The fastest and jazziest track here at 121bpm in C, with a lively beat, walking bass and a saxophone lead giving it a smoky, sensual character. The prominent sax makes it a foreground cue rather than a bed.

An 85bpm trip hop groove in F sharp minor, slow and heat-hazed with a loose beat, deep bass and floating pads. Cool rather than cheerful despite the title, it fits languid summer imagery shot in low light or long lenses.
