60s, 70sAction, Comedy, Cool

87 BPM in G, a laid-back but tightly locked funk-soul groove with bass, drums, electric guitar and brass punctuation, saxophone carrying the smooth lines. Title and pace suggest the vault job itself — deliberate, unhurried, pleased with itself. At 2:29 it's one of the roomier cuts and sits closest in feel to the 85 BPM strut.

128bpm in E minor, matching the album's uptempo action tier but pitched darker and more furtive, with bongos, funk kit, guitar, organ and stabbing horns. Good for the middle of the job — moving fast while trying not to be seen, tension played for laughs.

A 118bpm C minor retro funk-soul groove with wah-wah guitar, fat bass, drums, bongos and claps plus vintage synth and male vocal touches. The title's tech-bro joke matches the music's self-satisfied strut, making it ideal for a smug entrepreneur, a slick pitch gone wrong or an ironic corporate montage.

A slow, swaggering big band blues in D minor at 75 BPM, built on brass and trombone stabs over walking bass, brushed drums, piano and a string cushion. It carries itself with unhurried confidence — a reveal cue for a character who already knows they've won — and its 2:16 length gives room for a full trailer build to a final hit.

A strutting 107 BPM funk walk in C minor built on bongos and congas over a fat bass line, with trumpet and trombone punching out the hook. The swagger is comic rather than menacing — a character introduction rather than a chase. Suits the moment a crew member is introduced with a name card, or a slow-motion entrance through a casino lobby.
