“The experience we had with Record-Play was brilliant, we needed a very specific piece of music and had a very short space of time to find it,” says Jezz Vernon, Head of Marketing for Metrodome Films UK. “Music Hub generated selection after selection and within 48 hours we’d found the perfect track.”

“We believe this initiative allows businesses to re-assess the ways in which they use music in production,” says Daniel Cross, Managing Director of Record-Play Ltd. “We have negotiated a low cost structure which means companies, even those on tight budgets, don’t need to compromise on quality.”

The full catalog of music in the Hub is available for anyone to browse and stream, no registration is necessary. For users who do choose to register, tracks become immediately downloadable for testing to picture or licensing. To explore the site visit: www.record-play.net/musichub.

The first 13 floors are now open to the public, and more floors will be coming on stream over the next months, accounting for a wealth of treasures that span the history of Steinberg from its early beginnings in the 1980s to the present day.
