1980s Music

Examples: Archive footage with spoken dates and commentary

Look for instrumental 80s music with room for narration; test the preview under spoken dates and check that piano hooks do not mask key words.

Try Our Shining Best Day: Catchy piano, soft trap beat and vintage synths.

Examples: Grainy driving clips cut into a short video

For VHS car footage, compare the synth texture with the grainy image; listen through each scene change to see if the energy stays consistent.

Try Betamax Dreams: Retro synthwave sound recalls Betamax and VHS days.

Examples: Gadget close-ups with onscreen feature text

For product close-ups, check that the disco groove adds motion without competing with onscreen text; audition the opening and the final shot before shortlisting.

Try Every Heartbeat: Synth plucks, electric piano and drum machine.

Examples: Menu captures and gameplay edited for a launch

For a pixel-art trailer, compare the synth and guitar against menu screens and gameplay; check that the ending leaves room for your title card.

Try Pixelated Memories: Analog synths, sharp guitars and electro beats.

Examples: Exercise clips ending on a final rep

For a gym reel, test the driving synths against exercise cuts; listen for an opening that builds interest and a finish that suits the last rep.

Try Pulse Runner: Driving synths and pulsating beats evoke retro fitness.
