Music 4

Somalian music sensation, K'Naan popped into the Music 4 studios on Tuesday to undertake a number of ISDN radio interviews. His song, Wavin' the Flag' (featuring another Music 4 regular Will.I.Am and David Guetta), has been number 1 in over 11 countries and is Coca Cola's world cup soundtrack.

K'Naan had just returned from the World Cup Kick-Off Celebration Concert held in Soweto, South Africa and was full of the football spirit.

Music 4 is one of the hottest destinations in London for pop stars undertaking ISDN (down the line) interviews. Star treatment, great studios. Happy pop stars!

Music 4 have created a new mix of the main theme for The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1 to reflect the World Cup taking place in South Africa. In addition to the remixed theme, we are updating Chris's jingles regularly during the tournament to reflect England's performance.

Audio coming soon, but for now, here's a blast from the past... The Chris Moyles World Cup Song.. still sounding great 4 years on: click here ... Still sounds great!

US songstress Alicia Keys is apparently singing the praises of 'North Wales', a Chris Moyles Parody song recorded here at Music 4. The song, a parody of her hit with rapper Jay-Z, Empire State of Mind, is being played every day this week by Radio 1's Chris Moyles show in the run up to Radio 1's Big Weekend.

Instead of waxing lyrical over Brooklyn and Harlem, 'Keys' praises the delights of Conwy and Llandudno Junction.
But the show revealed: "It's a tongue-in-cheek tribute by a session singer."

On Monday September the 7th 2009, Chris Moyles became Radio 1's longest ever serving breakfast show host, beating the record previously held by Tony Blackburn (Radio 1's first ever breakfast show presenter) since Tony came off the breakfast show on the 1st of June 1974. The team here at Music 4 are extremely proud to have been with Chris every step of the way on this massive journey as the creators and producers of the shows now famous on-air branding, jingles and beds.

Over the past five years we have produced hundreds of jingles and beds for the show including the legendary 'opening song' which launched Chris onto the Radio 1 Breakfast Show in January 2004.

We remain pretty certain that the 'opening song' is the longest 'jingle' ever to be actually broadcast in full on the radio and to celebrate Chris's record breaking show the whole thing was played again (with a few changes here and there).
