I emailed various labels, groups and friends to ask for advice and gave them a short summary of what my project is. My contacts and I had discussed several options including my own choices of music, and many of those people, including "TheBBCmusic", continually referred to "TheCapitanMan" as the best choice. There decision was largely down to the balance between quality music that suits my project and ease of accessing rights.
Out of the contacts I wanted to pursue, I gained rights for use of Netsky music (thanks to Matt at Hospital Records), RJD2's new album "The Colossus" and any of TheCapitanMan's work.
I emailed OCR to confirm that use of songs like this is allowed in this course (as it is in the real world).

Hey Jamie yeah not a problem at all, great to get my music out there! So long as its non commercial its cool. I think your song choices are good but Awaken The Orchestra particularly fits the bill. The build up and drop are a good match for your project but may need slight tweaking.
Hope that helps, Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Sounds great! I agree, Awaken The Orchestra has the perfect crescendo for a trailer. Thanks for your help in the past - some cutting down and re-figuring of the song will happen on my end to fit my project.
Cheers again, I'll send you a link on Facebook when I'm done!
Jamie
