Love Island Turns 12 – And So Does Ours Iconic Music Theme

Twelve years ago, A-MNEMONIC were asked to create the sonic identity for a brand-new reality show called Love Island.  We had no idea it would become a cultural juggernaut –  and that our music would still be pulsing through villa walls over a decade later.

From the unmistakable stings and dramatic beds, to the cheeky cues and sun-drenched vibes, the soundtrack has played a huge part in giving Love Island its personality.  It’s helped shape the mood, the moments, and the meme-worthy madness ever since.

A-MNEMONIC Scores ITV’s Genius Game, Hosted by David Tennant

A-MNEMONIC is behind the bold, brainy sonic branding and soundtrack for ITV’s newest reality competition, Genius Game, hosted by David Tennant.  Premiering 30 April on ITV1 and ITVX, the show is a high-stakes blend of strategy, logic, and social manipulation—demanding a soundtrack as clever and dramatic as the game itself.

Composed by A-MNEMONIC’s Toby Jarvis and Andrei Basirov, the music sets the tone for this UK adaptation of the cult Korean hit.  From the cinematic title sequence to tense elimination stings and strategic flashbacks, the score elevates every twist, betrayal, and moment of revelation.

Blending orchestral and electronic elements, the music is layered, modern, and full of intrigue—designed to mirror the sleek, architectural set and the razor-sharp gameplay.

“Everything in this show is about strategy—so the music had to think smart too,” says Jarvis.

Whether it’s whispered plotting or an epic showdown, A-MNEMONIC’s soundtrack brings Genius Game to life with sophistication, suspense, and style.

A-MNEMONIC Scores BBC Radio 4’s Star-Studded Adaptation of Casino Royale

A-MNEMONIC is thrilled to have composed the original score for BBC Radio 4’s brand-new audio dramatisation of Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale, airing this Easter Sunday. Broadcasting at 3pm on 20th April 2025, this special one-hour production brings Bond’s first mission vividly to life.

Scored by A-MNEMONIC’s Toby Jarvis, the music plays a central role in the storytelling – guiding listeners through smoky casinos, high-stakes showdowns, and tense interrogations. Every note was carefully crafted to heighten the drama, evoke atmosphere, and capture the sleek, dangerous world of 007. The score doesn’t just set the tone – it helps shape each scene and enhance the emotional and psychological tension throughout.

The adaptation boasts an A-list cast: Toby Stephens returns as the iconic James Bond, joined by Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville as the villainous Le Chiffre. Susannah Fielding (This Time with Alan Partridge) stars as the mysterious Vesper Lynd, and Josh Stamberg (WandaVision, The Morning Show) plays CIA agent Felix Leiter. The ensemble cast delivers a gripping performance that brings Fleming’s original novel to life in a new and thrilling format.

Don’t miss this exciting take on the original Bond adventure – tune in to BBC Radio 4 or BBC Sounds at 3pm this Easter Sunday for an hour of espionage, elegance, and thrilling Bond action.

A-MNEMONIC Creates the Sound of ITV’s 99 to Beat

Every great gameshow needs an unforgettable soundtrack, and for ITV’s latest entertainment hit “99 to Beat”, the music had to match the show’s fun, fast-paced, and unpredictable nature.  That’s where A-MNEMONIC came in.

Tasked with capturing the show’s bold and bonkers spirit, A-MNEMONIC’s composers Andrei Basirov and Toby Jarvis produced a dynamic, high-energy sonic branding package, designed to heighten the excitement of the show, and be instantly remembered.  The brief called for a strong musical identity with an easily attributable hook and melody.  Fun and a little bit out there, for a family-friendly, 6pm Saturday night slot.

With Adam and Ryan Thomas making their debut as hosts, and ITV and Initial TV delivering a must-watch spectacle, 99 to Beat is set to become a prime-time favourite.  And thanks to A-MNEMONIC, the show doesn’t just look great – it sounds iconic too.
