2024 Year in Review

Thanks to our local team at Mediacube in Korea we have been chosen to soundtrack this commercial for Nature Made. It’s always wonderful to see how our music brings our clients projects to life - especially when they are thousands of miles away! The track used was Spring Is Here coming from our popular DAB058 Orchestral Landscapes album.

We are so proud to have won our first Production Music Association (PMA) Mark Award in Los Angeles last night for Best Suspense / Tension Track of the Year. Our CEO Ed Scott was there to collect the award along with our composer Jelle Dittmar who flew over from Holland for the awards. The competition was very high indeed with our friend and composer Gabriel Saban - Composer amongst these which humbled us to be nominated alongside him.

It was great to see many of our composers in person in LA, including Gabriel Saban, Farnell Newton, James Dooley, and more!

This was a defining moment for us and we are all nursing hangovers today before our slightly heavier luggage makes its way back to London. Thanks to everyone for their support over the past 2 years and especially to John Clifford at True Road Music who has never left our side.

We were really thrilled to once again work alongside our friends at TNT Sports Warner Bros. Discovery Sports on their next PPV extravaganza featuring the two massive British Heavyweights of Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois slugging it out in what will surely be an iconic fight at Wembley where Joshua is unbeaten.They used a track which was unreleased when they started working on the project which is from a very special album featuring live strings from Cecile Grueebler Massive thanks to our Mark Award-nominated composer Jelle Dittmar for the track titled ‘Bold And Fancy’ DAB068_6 from our Epic Neoclassical album which is available to licence from us or globally through our representatives. https://dabmusic.tv/tracks?tracks=dab068-6

We worked with BBC Sport all last week on the warm-up to Wimbledon. Their exceptional coverage used several of our tracks for openers, features, and underbubble's all week including the semi-finals, and finals.

Thanks as always to the nation's broadcaster, the BBC, for letting us close their emotive coverage of D-Day 80. It's once again very humbling to let our music fit their perfectly crafted edits.

Hold onto your hats and loosen those ties because The Diner and Dodged A Bullet are teaming up like peanut butter and jelly. Prepare to be shaken up by a sonic tsunami blending American gusto with British flair.

Dodged A Bullet is now officially represented by The Diner across the pond in the good ol’ USA and Canada.

From the Big Apple to the Rockies and everywhere in between, get ready for a sprinkle of UK magic thrust into Hollywood flicks, TV dramas, movie trailers, and snazzy commercials. It’ll be like swapping coffee and donuts for tea and crumpets, but with a whole lot more swagger and serious attitude.

We are truly proud to be nominated for a Mark Award for Best Sound Design / Score of the Year.

The Mark Awards are considered the equivalent of the Oscars, Grammys, and Emmys for the Production Music industry.

We are even more delighted because 2023 is our first full year as member of the Production Music Association (PMA) so to get nominated at the first time is just so thrilling for all of us.

Huge congratulations to our friend Mark Doggett - Composer it was his creative genius that was responsible for this entry. It was a genuine problem trying to decide which of his tracks to enter - they are all that strong.

Best of luck to our fellow nominees, especially our great friends at GrooveWorx who we are truly humbled to be in the same category as them.

We were delighted when legendary BBC EastEnders composer Simon May chose to write for Dodged A Bullet. To mark this we created a short video showing how the stunning track Wonders of the World he co-wrote starts from a simple piano introduction before leading into a epic orchestral masterpiece that was masterminded by Gabriel.

This album has already been licensed on high profile projects globally but we wanted to let Simon do the talking and introduce this to you. It is available here: https://lnkd.in/dqXvF_GT and from our usual international partners.

We launched only a few months ago but already have three incredible festive albums for your Christmas productions.

Just out is Jazzy Christmas recorded in Hollywood which offers some subtle interpretations of your much loved favourites. And it seems that we must have been subconsciously inspired by the legend that is Mr Bean who did his own Christmas Jazz rendition for a Christmas special!

In addition, we have our orchestral spectacular Sounds Like Christmas album from James Dooley (Gladiator) and Simon May (EastEnders). And we cover our bases with something totally fun with Christmas Wild - everything from metal, to hip hop, to country to punk! Ho ho ho! 🎅🎄🎁
