gallery Sound Library Megatrax adds UK's Deep East Music to catalog N ORTH HOLLYWOOD — Megatrax (www.megatrax.com) is par tnering with London-based producers Ciaran McNeaney and Alex Marchant to offer their Deep East Music as Megatrax's 12th catalog of high-end production music. Deep East offers "sounds from deep in the heart of London's music scene," featuring writers with credits that include many of today's artists. This independent catalog features "fresh modern rock, pop and unique hybrids, banging beats, breaks and dance floor crossovers, and contemporary orchestral, drama and documentary styles." Says CEO of Megatrax Production Music, Ron Mendelsohn: "Deep East Music is a high-quality catalog with a distinctly fresh and young indie sound. As our first UK-based catalog, it is a perfect addition to our product line-up, and we look forward to making this collection available to our clients." Deep East Music features an authentic UK sound created by producers, composers, mixers and masterers who are all heavily involved day-to-day in commercial music. Their approach to the Deep East catalog is no different than their writing for their commercial project or the pop music scene, and their tracks have been used in a variety of high-profile UK sports broadcasts and more. Deep East Music is available now.

The Vault has turned Song Zu's back catalog into a searchable music library. The multiple award-winning studio Song Zu recently took home a 2012 Clio Award in the original music category for their Bundaberg Distilling Company ad Ain't No Nancy Drink via Leo Burnett, Sydney. Additionally, The Vault has added the music of Anno Domini Beats, the London-based urban/hip-hop producers. Their deep catalog of "urban grooves" has been organized and built into a 10-volume set of authentic and powerful music. "We originally launched The Vault by creatively turning our own custom music back catalog into a easily searchable and licensable catalog," Stephen Arnold says, "and it's a skill we're now applying to other catalogs from around the world, including H2U, a 15-volume catalog of Swiss-based pop; PMOL, a London-based music house featuring composers Adam Routh and Patrick Wilson; and now with Song Zu and Anno Domini Beats. Recent clients include CNN HLN's American Journey with host Ty Pennington; Fox Business; ESPNU's Big 12 weekly; Nat Geo's Shark Men, as well as Shark Wranglers on History Channel.
