UBM Media

UBM Media is a Berlin-based production music publisher and library that supplies pre-cleared, ready-to-license music for film, television, advertising, podcasts, audiobooks, and other audiovisual productions. The company operates under the UBM Records brand for its main catalog and is part of the AMA Publishing Group. Its catalog spans a wide range of genres, from pop and funk to jazz, classical, electronic, and Americana, and is aimed at media professionals who need production music with straightforward licensing. UBM Media was founded in 2003 by composer Uwe Buschkötter. The company traces part of its heritage to 1973, when the UBM Media label was established, and to 1980, when UBM introduced one of the first databases for so-called source music. Over the years, the group has expanded its network to include labels such as Largo, founded in 1983 and specializing in classical, avant-garde, and contemporary compositions, and the more recent addition Klangvision. Today UBM Media represents titles from around 15 international labels. The company's catalog contains more than 10,000 curated tracks and is continually growing. UBM Media regularly publishes playlists on current themes and offers advisory services to help clients find the right music and the appropriate licensing model. Its output is used across the film, TV, and advertising industries, with albums tailored to specific moods, genres, and production contexts such as reality TV, crime dramas, travelogues, and lifestyle content. As a production music publisher, UBM Media occupies a specialized niche within the broader music and media industry. It combines a large, genre-diverse library with curation and licensing support, positioning itself as a practical resource for professional content creators. The company remains privately held and operates internationally from its Berlin base.
