For the most part, however, their influence comes through after they've been repurposed and recontextualized even more than their creators ever expected: To take one example, the works of drummer and composer Brian Bennett have been flipped by everyone from Mike Will Made It to Kanye West to the Alchemist. And sometimes they're revived as period-piece fodder, like the Adrian Younge-sourced soundtrack to the blaxploitation spoof Black Dynamite.
Sometimes this music sticks-for instance, the themes for both "Monday Night Football" and the UK sports program "Superstars" were both sourced from “Heavy Action”, a 1974 recording on the KPM Music label. In short, library music (aka production or stock music) is music recorded in a multitude of contexts and styles by work-for-hire musicians, owned by music-library labels, and lent out to commercial enterprises in TV, radio, and film. The history of pop is rarely written by the background players-and even today, when film composers, session musicians, and freelance songwriters eventually get their due, there's still something a bit mysterious and dusty about the field of library music. Starter offers introductions to artists, scenes, styles, or labels of the past, plus a playlist.
