Parties, carnival and Mardi Gras

Brass and swing rhythm say "celebration" before anyone sees a single frame. For Mardi Gras and carnival content, use the looser New Orleans-style tracks with clarinet and trombone, and cut your footage to the rhythm.

Keep a slower piece ready for quieter moments so the energy has somewhere to settle.

Restaurants, bars and retro videos

Swing works well for hours of background play because the rhythm is steady but never harsh. Mix big band tracks with lighter small-group ones, and avoid placing two very loud brass pieces back to back.

For retro or vintage-styled videos, a big band track at a mid tempo sets the period immediately.
