Music 4

Wave 105 launched their latest set of Music 4 Jingles on Jan the 1st 2013. We are once again delighted to be working with the team at Wave 105, who are one of our longest running UK stations.

The station launched with a custom Music 4 package in February 1999 and we are very proud to say they have been with us ever since.

We wish Wave 105 continued success during 2013 and beyond.

Long standing Music 4 client, Radio City 96.7 have started 2011 with a brand new, red hot music imaging package from the team here at Music 4. Music 4 has provided the imaging for Radio City since August 2000, making this our 11th year on air in Liverpool.

We are all extremely proud to be part of such a standout UK station and wish all the team at City another successful year!

Audio coming soon!

The Michael Ball Show, produced by Spungold, is new for summer 2010 on ITV1 and launched yesterday (Aug 16th 2010) with a glitzy new theme tune from the team here at Music 4. Michael Ball is one of the nation’s most celebrated musical theatre stars and ever popular TV and radio presenter who is known for his warm personality and great sense of fun.

Michael’s show is a topical mix of entertainment, discussion and showbiz glamour with the occasional musical treat thrown in from the man himself.

Each weekday at 3pm, Michael chats with established showbiz personalities as well as introducing a variety of rising stars.

This theme tune follows in the footsteps of Music 4's theme tune for The Alan Titchmarsh Show also produced by Spungold which will return later in the year.

Audio/Video soon!

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!

Airing later this year on Channel 4 will be Phil Spencer’s new series “Phil Down Under”. He’s heading to the other side of the world to help emigrating Brits find their perfect home in Australia. He found the “perfect home” to voice his narration for 4 x 60 minute episodes at Music 4 Studios! Phil’s partner on Channel 4’s Location, Location, Location series (voiced at Music 4 Studios), Kirstie Allsopp, has also recently recorded her VO for her series “Kirstie’s Homemade Home” here as well.

The nominations for the 2009 Sony Radio Awards have been announced. Congratulations to Music 4 clients BBC Radio 1 and City Talk who both have nominations in the Station Sound Award Category. We are very proud that we helped Magic 105.4 win a gold in this category at last years awards and we of course hope one of our client stations walk away as winners this year too.

Best of luck to all our other clients who received numerous nominations in a wide range of categories for these prestigious awards which take place on the 11th of May at The Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

There are two new additions to the team here at Music 4. Phil Armorgie (pictured left) joins as Business Development Manager - Music 4 Studios, after a successful 20 year career with EMI Records.

Lady GaGa, Duffy, Actor Richard Briers, Keith Chegwin, Kate Thornton, Newsreader Alistair Stewart and actor Joel Beckett (aka Eastenders Jake Moon) are the latest set of famous faces to visit the team here at Music 4 Studios. Chart-topper Lady GaGa visited Music 4 to promote her new album "The Fame" (which includes her number 1 single "Just Dance") with a series of ISDN and face-to-face interviews to a number of local and regional radio stations.

We were delighted to welcome back Duffy on her 3rd return visit to Music 4 to talk about her success this year. Duffy undertook ISDN interviews to regional radio stations as well as face-to-face interviews.

Actor Richard Briers was on his return visit to Music 4 to voice a viral campaign for Ferrari. Keith Chegwin popped in to record jingles for The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1.

Kate Thornton popped in for her return visit to voice inserts for Elton John's New Years Eve show at the O2 Arena. The inserts were later mixed by our engineers at Music 4 Studios.

Newsreader Alistair Stewart came into the studios to record a corporate DVD via ISDN. We also accommodated actor Joel Beckett with an ISDN link to Germany to voice a TV commercial for Nivea.

The team at Music 4 and Music 4 Studios have been working hard throughout December on fresh new imaging for BBC Radio 1... A number of new jingles and themes have been produced for The Chris Moyles Show and Newsbeat.

The hugely popular Chris Moyles Show moves into it's 5th year in January 2009 and will burst back on the air with new jingles, themes and contest beds for the show.

Music 4 have just completed themes and stagers for ITV1's 'Alan Titchmarsh At Christmas' airing on ITV1, Sunday 21 December at 6.30pm. You'll also hear our arrangement of the 'It'll Be All Right On The Night' theme created earlier this year when the famous 'cock-up' show returns to ITV1 on Christmas Day at 9pm. All the themes were mixed and mastered at Music 4 Studios.
Alan Titchmarsh presents a show packed with festive fun as well as delivering a stocking full of Christmas surprises to some deserving members of the public, he's joined by a host of stars, including special guests Julie Walters, Will Young and Emma Bunton who delivers an unforgettable Christmas gift to one lucky viewer.

This latest commission from Spungold for ITV1 continues our relationship with Alan Titchmarsh as Music 4 also composed the theme tune for his regular daytime show.

Don't worry...we haven't started flogging DVD's but we can highly recommend Faithless Live in Moscow, Bill Bailey's Tinselworm and Tim Minchin’s “So F**king Rock Live”... not only are they all fab, they were all mixed by Music 4 Studios! Faithless returned to Russia after a 4 year hiatus to perform for the 1st time with a full orchestra. We received the multi-track recordings which includes famous hits such as Insomnia, God is a DJ, Mass Destruction, I Want More and We Come 1 and created the final mix for the 5.1 DVD release, “Faithless Live in Moscow”. Sister Bliss from the band attended many of the mixing sessions and was delighted with the results.

Bill Bailey's 'Tinselworm' was the inaugural 5.1 project mixed in our newest studio (Studio 2) and this was quickly followed by a 5.1 mix for Australian musician, actor, comedian and writer Tim Minchin for his latest DVD release, “So F**king Rock Live”. We also created the stereo mix for international television broadcast.

(Be warned...the Tim Minchin DVD contains very strong language and is not for the easily offended!)
