Music for Cycling Videos and MTB Edits
Music for cycling videos on Audiosocket is a curated collection of inspiring, mostly instrumental cinematic rock and electronic tracks licensed for MTB edits, road cycling vlogs and fitness brand films. Curators' sounds-like notes point to Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson and Blackfield, and cuts such as Bastian's Great Divide and Mark Ullrich's Above All Else pair electric guitars and keyboards with strings over steady percussion. Tracks average close to four minutes, giving a climb-and-descent edit room.

About this Playlist
Most of the collection is instrumental, with Stranded Harmony feat. Progley by Sound Surfer as the main vocal track. Instrumental cuts such as Oceans (Instrumental) by Twiceyoung, Fire Waiting (Instrumental) by The Exile and Parakaleo by wolfram gruss leave room for a rider's voiceover, GPS overlay narration or a brand message, and they avoid lyric cut-offs when an edit jumps between trail sections.
This set builds rather than blasts. Inspiring is the top mood, ahead of happy and exciting, and the sub-genres mix cinematic, post rock, alternative rock and progressive with a single dubstep cut, referencing Porcupine Tree and cinematic rock rather than punk or trap. Editors tagged slowburn and trailers among the themes, so the tracks suit long climbs, scenic descents and reveal moments over rapid-fire crash reels. Strings appear on more than half the tracks, which adds the sweep.
Editors tagged product features, automobiles and brands most often, along with documentary and professional services, which explains why the collection works for bike-industry product films, component launches and gear reviews as well as ride edits. The same inspiring cinematic rock character carries an outdoor apparel or e-bike brand spot without sounding like a sports highlight package.
Tracks average just under four minutes, longer than typical cue length, which suits a full trail run or a climb-to-summit story on a single track. Because slowburn is one of the tagged themes, let the opening cover the climb or the pre-ride setup and time the descent to the point where guitars and percussion open up. For a 30 second social cut, use the fullest section and end on a hit.
Every license issued through Audiosocket is perpetual for the specific finished work, so a product film and each social cutdown are licensed as their own finished pieces, which is what the unlimited licensing in a subscription is for during the term. All tracks are cleared for commercial use under the tier purchased, including ads, client work and monetized YouTube, on monthly or annual billing.
