Pioneers of Real Music for Media.
After over 20 years of making music for film, TV, radio & new media (and a glittering, "almost" pop career in the 80's electronica scene), we've learned one very important thing about you... You need something completely individual and fresh-sounding that you can't get from anywhere else.
Which is why we exist - to constantly source new music that you love and you just have to hear one more time. With a sonic landscape of over 76 CD's, that's over 1,500 tracks, ranging from electro to orchestral we've definitely learnt a thing or two about where to get that un-gettable sound from. All of our albums are made because we love the music - no hype, but we genuinely don't put something out if we can't listen to it on our iPod's or if we don't think you can. Which is why Ded Good Music has pioneered real music rather than "production music" for media.
Starting life on a kitchen table in the North of England under very inauspicious circumstances, Ded Good Music was the brain child of two depressed TV composers, Gary Scargill & Peter Oldroyd. With already over five years experience as two of the British Broadcasting Corporations' (BBC) best known and well-loved composers - they were fed-up hearing the uninspiring music which made up the majority of TV compositions and of the stigma attached to music which was made for media. Suddenly - and almost un-entirely unrelated to the cup of tea they were consuming, Scargill & Oldroyd hit upon a new - and at the time completely radical idea - of starting a production music library where the music was completely original and the sort of thing people listened to anyway - as surely it was better to write things people actually wanted to hear?
Armed with this new knowledge they set forth into the world of library music, actually listening to the customer and combining your needs and requirements with Ded Good Music's out-and-out musical nerdiness. The results were beautiful... a library where every track is not just useful but enjoyable and one where the artist's were also making commercial music, so they understood what made people just want to tap their feet in time! Our catalogue grew - moving from dance to rock, from pop to world sounds but our passion for music never abated and after countless awards, work on a host of films and TV programs and a regular gig with the UK's National Television Awards we decided it was time to "crack" America... Visiting the US helped us bring our music to an entirely different level and thanks to the people at APM, and their passion for music, we've found ways of communicating globally - proving that great music is useable everywhere and that cultural diversity can produce some of the best sounds. We've been APM's top-earning disc recently so we can honestly say, after 15 years we've never been fresher.
The Ded Good Music's enduring appeal is not something we can easily explain - although we may have been imitated by other libraries none can capture the genuine pleasure we get from sniffing out the newest music trends and introducing you to things you-never-knew-you-needed-to-hear. What can we say? We're so pleased you put us where we are and we'll carry on bringing you the musical trends we know you'll like to hear. Wherever they may be... It's a Ded Good guarantee.
