No one said life was going to be easy. And sometimes we all just need to give ourselves that extra KICK to get moving in the right direction – to help overcome the barriers to getting where we want to be and doing what we need to do. That’s what SHAKE is all about – reaching higher to make it through the nightmares to realise your dreams! Essentially, it's a love song to following your dreams. The theme and cool mid-tempo groove could soundtrack people pushing themselves to the limit at work or in the gym, for example. The romantic, lovelorn element also lends itself to scenes with people passionately yearning for each other, and even steamy love scenes themselves. Referencing being shaken to another place or another time, the song could also be used for scenarios involving travel, or people travelling to get to their loved one, even through time and space.

Near Death Experience (NDX)
Although wearing their love of the 60s and 70s boldly on their sleeves – from the Rolling Stones and the Doors to James Brown and Curtis Mayfield – with ‘Present’ NDX are very much following their own path, fusing soul, funk, rock and pop in their own unique way. Exploding into life with cool funky drumming ‘Present’ hits the ground running with a delicious saxophone motif, which you’ll be humming for weeks, and crunching wah wah guitar. Over the next three-and-a-half minutes the song never lets up, continuing NDX’s journey towards the groovier side of psychedelic soul. In an increasingly unstable world, the song’s main hook: "There's no time like the present" really resonates. From doing all the things you've ever dreamed, saving the planet, or simply telling someone you love them, there really is no time to lose! This is the song that can make the opening of a movie, or an advert instantly euphoric and memorable. Or imagine a scene where there's a critical race against time or a hectic car chase. 'Present' would be the perfect soundtrack. Or two people ripping each others clothes off in a crazy moment – this tune would emphasise and heighten the passion. Overall it's a good-time song that can deliver a truly feel-good atmosphere.

Near Death Experience (NDX)
This uptempo tune has a driving jazzy, funk/soul vibe and captures life in 4 minutes. The dark and light of the twin male/female vocal delivery perfectly reflects LIFELINE’s theme of how we all live on the edge, simultaneously on the brink of delirium and disaster. Walking the line between “wrong and right”, “fight or flight”, “beauty and sublime”, as the catchy verse reminds us. Balancing on “the high wire in the sky” as the singalong chorus chimes, which spring’s into life with a breathtaking key change. This makes the song the perfect theme tune for gritty dramas and action movies, sequences like car chases, as well as ads featuring general life scenarios and relationships. It's also groovy enough for dance scenes with real-life urban backdrops.
