Cut to the Beat

Cut to the Beat is a Brighton based web business selling royalty free music, specialising in the TV and web media production industry.

Their music is available as an mp3 download or on sample CDs. The music takes the form of full-length tracks and 29/30 second commercial edits, as well as a variety of hits, stings, intros and loopable tracks. These are sold under a ‘buy once, use forever’ license also known as a buyout music license.

Tracks and samples are arranged by genres such as hip-hop beats, classical tracks, ambient soundscapes, world music and drum & bass. Alternatively, visitors can hear music grouped by moods such as uplifting, action, sad, or peaceful.

A dynamic ‘top ten downloads’ feature allows viewers to see the most popular royalty free music samples in the library.
