Epidemic Sound http://www.epidemicsound.com/ is a production music library that gives visual content creators use of professional-quality soundtracks.

Today, the Epidemic Sound library contains more than 25,000 tracks that are tagged and formatted for the company’s advanced search tools used to explore, edit and download the music. Each track is broken into STEMS – individual tracks where the instruments can be heard and edited separately – thereby creating more than 100,000 sound files available for use.

The tracks in the library have been created by more than 3,000 composers who are screened and mentored by a select production team led by company co-founder Peer Åström,–http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_%C3%85str%C3%B6m an award-winning producer with the world record for the most ever entries on the U.S. Billboard/iTunes chart, and productions for Madonna, Kelly Clarkson and Enrique Iglesias.
