Music 4

We're always very proud of the long term relationships we build with our client stations and U105 in Northern Ireland is no exception. U105 ordered their first set of jingles from Music 4 back in November 2005. They have stood the test of time and remain on air alongside a 'new' package of cuts just delivered.

The recent additions include a full re-sing of the Wave 105 package from January 2010 plus re-sings of a number of jingles for the stations 'Golden Years' adapted from our fabulous Capital Gold package (originally created in May 2002!).

We always try our best to create jingles and logos that stand the test of time and we think U105 has chosen some excellent material from our back catalogue. We have worked hard with Maurice and the team at U105 to ensure they fit the stations output perfectly.

Audio coming soon.... Search 'U105' here at Music4.com to hear previous packages.

In the run up to Christmas, Real Radio commissioned a re-sing of last years Christmas jingles to reflect their 'Win A Dream Christmas' promotion. Real Radio also commissioned three re-sings for the launch of the brand new 'Real Radio Breakfast' for Real Radio Scotland. The 'Real Radio Breakfast' cuts have been adapted from jingles from our extensive back catalogue.

The breakfast re-sings not only feature new vocals, but also received a number of musical adaptations to ensure all the cuts fully reflect the Real Radio sonic logo throughout.

More details and audio coming soon!

Music 4 Studios was blessed with a visit from the Lady Killer himself. He was here doing a set of live and pre-recorded radio interviews via ISDN on Friday afternoon. This is not the first time we have been graced with his presence, and it was a pleasure to welcome Cee Lo back to his favourite London studio. Back in October Cee Lo was with us for 4 days finishing off his second single "It's OK". With the release of his number 1 album The Lady Killer, Green has been busy promoting his sound showing Gnarls Barkley and Goodie Mobb fans another facet of the man that is Cee Lo Green

Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) ended a long day promoting her new new album "Can't Be Tamed" here at Music 4. Multi-platinum selling Miley was at Music 4 for various radio and television interviews. In between she also had a little play on our new iPad which arrived her first thing Friday morning!

This is the second visit to Music 4 Studios and we're sure she'll be back again.

Her latest CD “Can’t Be Tamed,” is released later this month.

Music 4 created a number of custom jingles and provided back catalogue material for 'When Chris Moyles Met The Radio 1 DJ's" which went out on BBC 2 last Sunday night. If you didn't get a chance to see the show, you can still see it on the BBC iPlayer but only until this sunday (May 16th 2010)...to see it CLICK HERE

Audio and video highlights will appear here soon!

So, BBC Radio 1's Chris Moyles is stuck in New York but is back on the air via the studios of Sirius Radio. To reflect this, Music 4 has managed to turn around new versions of his jingles reflecting the fact that Chris is a VAV (a victim of volcanic ash).

Hear the jingles live on Radio 1 from this morning (Wed 21st April).

We have great pleasure in welcoming back to Music 4 Studios, footballs answer to Curly, Larry and Mo (The Three Stoogies) in the form of Mark Chappers Chapman, Kevin Day and Graham Poll for the new football seasons podcast. This time the trio are joined by Championship Managers Roy Meredith who will be adding some incredible stats to go with the fun and inside information that we all know and love.

Welcome back boys!

Music 4 have created two new summer jingles for Real Radio. The brand new custom cuts were created back in June when the weather people were promising the hottest summer on record!

If we actually get a hot sunny day this year, you'll hear them across the entire Real Radio network... in the meantime, we suggest you close your eyes, imagine warm sunshine on your face and let these cuts take you to a happy, sunny place!

The award winning promo for film channel Picturebox "Rollercoaster" has come back to Music 4 Studios for a makeover! The promo has now got new visuals so we spent a few hours with our friends at Th1ng redesigning the sound to picture along with recording the voice over.

Now that the football season has ended and the cricket season has begun, our weekly football podcast starring such luminaries as Mark "Chappers" Chapman, Graham Poll & Kevin Day has sadly come to an end. Don't fear though as it will return by popular demand in mid August when the "beautiful game" is back. We've enjoyed listening to the 3 of the boys bickering about Rory Delap's long throws, off-side rules and refereeing decisions (which Graham always struggles on!).

The team at Music 4 Studios have created the soundtrack for an in-store and online marketing campaign promoting Nokia's latest phone, the 6260 Slide. We worked on this project back in November but couldn't share this with anyone until now.

This project demonstrates how the combination of our post production skills and music composition skills can work together perfectly for a major international brand.

The music track was created from scratch and features a ukulele which really helps with the quirky end result. The track was composed, recorded, mixed and mastered right here at Music 4 Studios.

Just under 10 years ago, the team behind Music 4 created the launch jingle package for Wave 105. We are delighted that our long standing relationship with Wave 105 continues into 2009. Wave's latest set of Music 4 imaging is made up of a number cuts from our back catalogue that have been adapted with new vocals to incorporate Wave 105's original and well known logo plus updated remixes of their current news, travel and weather cuts originally created by us in back in 2004.

We think Tim and the team at Wave picked a fantastic selection of cuts from our extensive back catalogue and this project is a perfect example of how we can adapt cuts originally created for other stations to create a fresh sounding package for one of our longest standing clients. The decision to evolve rather than re-invent their news/travel and weather cuts is also a perfect choice for a station that is performing extremely well in it's competitive market along the south coast.

Wave is one of the UK's most consistent sounding stations and this has been reflected in their most recent RAJAR listening figures which were excellent.

The UK's biggest girl band, Girls Aloud, are currently promoting their 5th studio album “Out of Control” and Nadine from the band spent an afternoon at Music 4 Studios to talk about the project via ISDN interviews to a number of local and regional radio stations. Nadine joins fellow band members Kimberley and Cheryl in our ever growing guest book (they visited us back in August 2007). We just need a visit from Sarah Harding and Nicola Roberts to complete our Girls Aloud collection!

As always, Nadine received 100% star treatment and enjoyed her time at Music 4 Studios.

It's been a good few days for 'star spotting' here at Music 4 Studios with visits from Enrique Inglesias, Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) and Brit Award winning Adele. Enrique Inglesias made a return visit to Music 4 to promote his new “Greatest Hits” album due for release November 17th. Enrique undertook several ISDN interviews to regional radio stations as well as face-to-face interviews. Both Enrique and his entourage had fun on our Nintendo Wii afterwards!

Actress and singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) also came into the studios this week to promote her newly released album “Breakout”. Miley Cyrus has been nominated for Best New Act at the forthcoming MTV Europe Music Awards on November 6th (co-incidentally, we recently mixed nomination packages for this MTV show, news to follow shortly). She has our vote! Unfortunately though, we didn't manage to grab a picture for our guest gallery. Maybe next time!

We were also delighted to welcome back Brit Award winner Adele for her third visit to promote her new single “Make You Feel My Love”. Adele performed a number of songs from her number 1 platinum selling album “19”. We set our vocal booth up to accommodate Adele on vocals alongside her guitarist and pianist.

After mixing the tracks on our fab SSL mixing console, we then continued with ISDN and face-to-face interviews in conjunction with delivering the recorded tracks to various radio stations. We were delighted to receive great feedback from the record company and radio stations for the overall sound and mix on her tracks and we look forward to recording more performances here at Berners Street.
