Licensing/Sampling
The vast and varied Brunswick catalog has been a vibrant resource for many artists, TV & film producers, samplers, advertisers and anyone seeking great music to augment their creations. Our songs have been licensed for use in countless TV programs, commercials, movie trailers, soundtracks, promotions, greeting cards and other media. They have also informed the backbone of contemporary songs via the use of sampling. In many cases, the inimitable horn blasts, drum breaks & bass lines were the main hook that led to these songs becoming such massive hits. On this page, we’ve highlighted some of the key examples of how Brunswick songs have been used by others, keeping these classics fresh & introducing them to new generations of music fans.
