As Philipp told his good friend Cover about his plan to screen the Library Music Film in the fine local boutique cinema Thalia, the Dresden DJ-force wasn’t only interested in watching the movie but also in contributing a mix to the project. That was very fitting as the digger with a never-ending passion for discovering new music has just lately dived deep into the inexhaustible vastness of library music. Therefore, it was a great opportunity to compile some of his latest findings and favorite records from the genre. The result is a trip into the wonderful world of library music under the name of “Bibliothèque électronique”.

Philipp: HeyCover, thanks for your mix. What is it that you’re so fascinated about LibraryMusic?

Cover: Tome as a DJ (and sharing parts of collectors habits) it is a very interestingfield to explore. Most of the music is unknown to the public due to the fact,that those records were never available commercially and thus were inaccessiblefor the average consumer. The music (often just sketches or soundscapes, ratherthan actual song structures) was produced as possible soundtrack for film, TVor stage production spanning through all genres and sounds you can think of.

Anotheraspect is, that it´s almost solely instrumental music, (except for the 60/70Scat Jazz pieces outta Italy e.g – another vast field…).

The amountof music that has been (and probably still is) produced is mind-boggling andseems sheer endless. Imagine it being like a parallel dimension in music withsome of the most weird, fascinating and compelling “pieces” manifested on aphysical medium.

The reasonsfor producers or samplers to be drawn into this cosmos is obvious, but I’m notsharing the talent
