If you’reunfamiliar with Envato’s Music Kits, read Eric Schwarz’s tutorial Why Envato Music Kits Are the Essential Audio Solution to Any Project.
Music Kits for Professional Presentations, Projects and Soundtracks
Unlike the typical music item that is usually a fixed-length track, Music Kits are song tracks that have been pre-edited into individual musical sections that can be rearranged, like building blocks, to create custom-timed and custom-structured pieces.
This means that, without musical or audio expertise or highly specialised audio software, you can create a professional finish to your soundtracks by dragging and dropping individual song sections to fit both the length of music your scenes require and the tempo progression needed.
15 Fantastic Funk & Groove Music Kits
A musical accompaniment sets the scene for any film trailer, promo, theme or scene, or even just a home video production. Good music, though, is essential. Music can make or break the effect.
In this tutorial, I’ll help you to discover 15 of the best royalty-free, trending Funk & Groove Music Kits available at AudioJungle.
1. Ocean’s Funky Guitar Kit
Described as a David Holmes like sounding track, it’s stylistically similar to Oceans Eleven, Oceans Twelve and Oceans Thirteen films. It’s catchy with live instruments and a compelling driving force.
2. Ocean’s Funky Groove Kit
The composer describes this Music Kit as being, “for the days when you need to rob a bank.” …I hope that’ll never be the case, but I can envisage this in a gorgeously stylistic, 1960s-feel heist caper. Loving the bass guitar on this. You’ll want to listen to it again.
3. TV Show Background Kit
This one’s a fun, modern background for Music Kit that would suit a TV show, radio, podcast or similar. It could also be employed in slideshows, or advertising. Predominantly saxophone with an accompaniment of vintage rhythm and funk.

Starting with classic straight piano and chords it goes into a catchy trumpet melody that punchy with a hint of hip-hop drums and bass combined with analogue-synth.
