Stock Song September!

We've got a wide spread of genres and moods for this latest batch of music. From brutal downtuned metal to club-ready hip-hop, we've got a little bit of everything for you.

"Juggernaut On Site" is our first foray into extreme, high-speed metal. It's got chugs, it's got tremolos, and it's got drums heavier than raw titanium. A clanky electric bass fills out the rest of the low end. If that wasn't enough, you can loop this track seamlessly without missing a beat. Bang your head!

"Steel And Blood" is full of dark synth drones, deep analog bass and strange, glitchy percussion. Mangled digital sounds and disturbing vibes are the name of the game in this track. The whole track is an intense push and pull of intensity, growing and releasing energy without giving you a chance to fully relax. Don't let your guard down. You never know what might be lurking around the corner...

Behold! "The Sound Of Goob" is a completely out-of-this-world waltz. Created by an extraterrestrial with a few vintage synthesizers, a funky drum set and only a basic understanding of how the 80s sounded. 

Warbling sawtooth chords, a lead that goes "wow" and thumpy analog bass underscore bouncy 3/4 time drum grooves. Goob formally requests that enthralled listeners send all praises and autograph requests to Proxima Centauri.

Finally, "More Hustle" is a straightforward, modern trap beat. Snappy drums, distorted bass, the works. A sparse instrumental, it's got a flute in the background and synth pluck providing the melody. Sometimes, simplicity is key.

Back For More Stock Music!

We've added even more new royalty-free music to our catalog since our last update! So many, in fact, that we're going to split this update into two posts. Today's theme: cinematic and dark.

Behold, Cognition Hazard. This track is rather simple melodically (making it easy to fit into the context of any project), but filled with interesting atmosphere and textures. The song becomes more intense over time, going from a dirty drum beat, 808 bass and string ensemble to a full composition with an echoing synth melody, fingerstyle electric bass and haunting choir. Jam out with caution.

Now, picture this. Out in the arctic wastes, after weeks of searching, your team finally finds the lost research station, half buried beneath snow and ice. After making your way into the station, you discover what remains of your colleagues and their research. It got out. Fetid Martyr is an ambient wonder that slowly melts into a dissonant, disturbing landscape of fear.

Stepping back from horror, listen in to Tensor Core. Tense, dark and stealthy, with a mixture of organic and synthesized percussion underscoring the flute melody and low synth bass. A soundtrack fit to score your intrusion into a secret military base. If you enjoyed the sound of Tenet, this song is for you.

Eerie woodwinds, frame drum percussion and a choppy synth bass make up our final track of this post, Squad Deployed. This one brings the energy up further, progressing into a distorted metal bass and crunchy acoustic drum kit to drive the rhythm further. No more sneaking around solo, take a fireteam in and clear out all enemy forces.

Final Stock Tracks of 2023!

Here they are! Sadly, there won't be any new stock music releases until next year... Luckily, that's only half a month away. Whether you like power chord riffs, 808 bass or jazzy Wurlitzer chords, our December batch has something for you.

A heavily swung, saturated beat and funky bassline? We've got those! Two different electric pianos(one that plays with a bit of flourish later in the track) and synth keyboard? We've got those! Seamlessly loopable? Go right ahead. Put on this track, lean back, and bob your head.

Distorted guitar riffs layered with an analog synth emulating a classic Juno-106. A heavy acoustic breakbeat and low electric bass fill out the supporting cast of instruments. If you remember the Xbox classic "Mechassault", your ears will feel right at home with this one. Rock on.

Back to trap, but don't drop the axe just yet. We've got the standard modern hip-hop drum machine, a crunchy guitar tone, and punchy 808 bass. Orchestral strings and synth plucks help bring out the melodic elements even further. This one is less "multi-ton war machine" and more "lone ranger".

Finally: A stranger take on trap, with plucked synth melodies that alternate back and forth, eventually playing over each other in peculiar harmonies. Backing them up are hip-hop drums, 808 bass, a far-away distorted choir voice and spiccato strings. Fun fact, those weird echoing plucks were made with a synthesizer originally intended for kick drums.

Mid-November Stock Music: Spooky Edition

We want to apologize for being incredibly late to the Halloween party with our most recent royalty-free music releases. We're quite confident, however, that these four new tracks made in the Halloween spirit will more than make up for it. 

A massive cinematic track with huge synthesized brass hits, an intense acoustic breakbeat, and our composers favorite acid bass filling in the background. If you played PC games during the year 2000, this one might evoke memories of a certain airfield... PS: this one loops seamlessly.

A trap beat with a synth of our own design, made to sound like a retro game console playing a melancholic, lonely melody. The low 808 bass booms out alongside the staple trap drumkit to remind you that yes, this is a rap instrumental. In short? Sad Atari hip-hop. Enjoy.

If you thought the last track had a bit too much energy to it, have no fear. "Vampire Hunted" is a slower, half-time remix of the previous beat with pitched-down drums, a simplified chord progression, and no compromise in quality. In short? Sad and mellow Atari hip-hop. Enjoy(in a more relaxed fashion).

Last but not least, an unsettling horror track that gradually rises in intensity until it crescendos into one final impact. Featured instruments include saturated taiko drums, a chugging electric guitar and layers upon layers of nightmarish synth ambience. Perfect for a movie trailer, or to wake you up in the morning.

Of course, this is only the newest of our widely varied stock music portfolio. Click the links below to head to our storefronts and check out many more!

Newest September Stock Music!

Our composer is on a bit of a heavy metal kick, but that isn't stopping us from producing a wide variety of genres for you to use and listen to. Check these out!

Aggressive 80s Synthwave complete with punchy drums, a low acid bass and and massive synth chords. If there ever was a vintage-style cyberpunk track, this would be it.

Dark and cinematic, featuring a string ensemble, organic and synthetic percussion, a choir singer distorted into pure evil, and a breakbeat hinting at more dangerous and intense things to come... In the next "Urban Ruins" track. (Expect high energy and higher gain.)

And finally... Spy music, but with an electric guitar, synths that sound like the 2000s and a ridiculously saturated drum kit. Think "James Bond in a giant mech". It loops seamlessly, to boot. I hope you like metal, because this is not going to be the last time we delve into distorted guitar goodness. (Our composer is informing me that yes, we can tune even lower.)

As always, our catalog of stock music is ever growing, and if nothing in this post piques your interest, our full catalog is sure to have something you want. Just head to the links below!

Our First Sale on Dreamstime

© Photographer: Theblackrhino | Agency: Dreamstime.com

I'm very grateful to the first person to purchase one of my illustrations through Dreamstime.

This particular image was inspired by the poisoning of the oceans through our demands for fossil fuels. I am so passionate about this subject that I sold my car a few years ago. My family and I rely on bikes, public transit and feet.

Like most of my illustrations, it started as a sketch, inked, scanned and traced in Illustrator. From there I colored it in. The drilling platform was added from scratch upon recommendation of my daughter.

Hoping I can keep those kinds of sales going  up to a few times per day!
