De Wolfe Music

De Wolfe Music is the originator of what has become known as library music as it was established in 1909 and began its recorded library in 1927 with the advent of 'Talkies'. The library consists of over 80,000 tracks, all pre-cleared for licensing and synchronisation. They have been used in thousands of productions including Monty Python, Emmanuelle, Dawn of the Dead, American Gangster and Doctor Who. Well known theme tunes include Van der Valk and Roobarb. De Wolfe built and owns Angel Recording Studios, a recording and mixing complex situated at The Angel, Islington. Artists who have recorded there in recent years include Adele, Snow Patrol, Cee Lo Green, Labrinth, George Fenton (BAFTA and EMMY winner for his scores to the BBC’s ‘The Blue Planet’ and ‘Planet Earth’), Ian Brown, Elbow, The Doves, The Feeling and Kaiser Chiefs. Its specially composed department is called Inter Angel. De Wolfe is still a family run company.
