If you're enjoying Immediate Music, you should look at Two Steps From Hell. My favorites are Ocean Princess, King's Legion, Heart of Courage, and Protectors of the Earth.

I believe this meets your requirements. Could be well used in a car video if edited right.



+1 for clint eastwood and de la soul
-1 for dubstep and macklemore :hitler:

Damn. Im seriously digging Immediate Music. So much epicness. I can definitely use some of their music. Now I just need to find a car that can resemble the music, so an epic car lol. Thanks so much for that. It's on the list!

Fourbanger, I love this kind of music. It actually reminds me of Nujabes if youve ever heard of him before. He just raps on top of music like that, which I like cause its easy going and the lyrics are always good. Im definitely putting these artists on my list. Thanks so much.



As far as the type of work ive been doing, here is the most recent video I did a few months ago for the weekly car meet we have here in Birmingham. The song I used is a prime example of the kind of music Ive been into lately. But as said before, Im always open to new types of music.






Thanks again for the suggestions guys. Please post more if you think of anything else! Im interested in what YOU guys think would sound good for a car video.

Some instrumental electronic stuff that could be cool, although I'm not sure what style you're going for with your videos.

So I know you said something more chill, but I have two words for you: Immediate Music. All instrumental with some chorals, and it makes literally anything seem unbelievably badass. Look at Mercutio, Electric Romeo, Imperativa, and Farenheit for more intense stuff.

If you do definitely want something more chill, try Prelude to Paradise and Serenata by Immediate Music, or Intro by The XX.

Bump!

I thought I would try and pick this up again to see if anyone else has any other suggestions. Im always open to them.

What do you guys think is ok for using 30s soundbits from these songs? Adding credit at the end or would you ask them for consent?

It depends on the purpose of the use. If it is a non-profit situation, then you should be able to just use it. I dont make money on my videos, so I use songs I legally purchase or are issued with a creative commons licence. Regardless, I always give credit to the artist or company by linking the song to either purchase, download, or listen to in the description of the videos.

Check out my SoundCloud if you want, too. If anything strikes your fancy I'd be happy to let you use it. I need a better YouTube presence as it is and still videos just don't cut it! As long as you credit me I'm happy to edit things as needed, too!

Im really some of your stuff, but the beats are a tad to straight and repetitive. Its very House-like. It could work for a video, but Id like to have articulations in the beat or something that would throw of the viewer or listener. A house beat is to predictable. Do you think you could throw something together thats active like that? Grated I could make the music myself since I have the equipment, but I wouldnt mind see how someone else does it.
