De Wolfe Limited (previously known as Music de Wolfe, often referred to as De Wolfe Music) is a British music production company, recognised as the originator of what has become known as library music. De Wolfe Music was established by Meyer de Wolfe in 1909 and began its recorded library in 1927 with the advent of 'Talkies'.[1][2]
Music from the library has been used in a number of well-known productions, including Monty Python, Emmanuelle, Dawn of the Dead, American Gangster, The Simpsons Movie, Death Wish, Brokeback Mountain, EastEnders, Kavanagh QC, The Royle Family, Spitting Image, Top Gear and Doctor Who. Well known theme tunes include Vision On, Van der Valk, Roobarb and The NFL Today. In recent years has been sampled by the likes of Mark Ronson and Lily Allen, Peshay, Swing Out Sister, Ja Rule, Gorillaz, Unkle and Beyoncé.
De Wolfe built and owns Angel Recording Studios, a recording and mixing complex situated at The Angel, Islington, London. 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, Doves, The Feeling, and Kaiser Chiefs.[3] Its specially composed department is called Inter Angel. De Wolfe is still a family-run company.
