If you\u2019re not watching the summer of sport which the UK is currently enjoying, then you\u2019re probably watching Love Island<\/em>. ITV\u2019s smash hit dating show continues to draw a large audience, who lap up the poolside frolics, beautiful bods and general sauciness. But what about the music of Love Island<\/em>? Who wrote that iconic Love Island t<\/em>heme tune, for instance? <\/strong><\/p>

What\u2019s the music like on Love Island?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>
The show features some \u2018bangin\u2019 original music, which has been composed especially. There\u2019s no mistaking its inspiration \u2013 the hot and sweaty clubs of Ibiza where thousands flock to let it all go. Yes, Love Island<\/em>\u2019s theme tune and music is a love note to the classic \u2018Dance Anthem\u2019.<\/p>
Who wrote the EastEnders theme tune?<\/a><\/strong><\/li>
What music is used for the theme tune of The Apprentice?<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>
And who wrote the music for Love Island<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h2>
<\/strong>The theme tune, bumpers and stings etc were written by composer\/producers Andrei Basirov and Toby Jarvis. They\u2019re part of \u2018A-Mnemonic\u2019, a London-based creative agency which specialises in creating original music and audio branding. They make music and sounds for TV shows, radio stations, advertising and more. <\/p>
<\/div><\/figure><h2 id=\"h-hang-on-what-s-a-bumper-and-a-sting\"><strong>Hang on, what\u2019s a bumper and a sting?<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong\/>A bumper is the little bit of music you hear just before and after an ad-break. Stings are snippets of incidental music that appear within the show itself; so if someone has slipped over on a nine-inch heel with a glass of prosecco in their hand, there will probably be a bit of music to cushion the fall. Or if there\u2019s a massive argument and looks could kill? That\u2019s ripe for a sting, too.<\/p><h2 id=\"h-what-else-have-they-written-music-for\"><strong>What else have they written music for?<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong\/>Basirov and Jarvis are very busy boys, and so are the team at A-Mnemonic. You\u2019ll have heard their work on all kinds of things, including the Radio 3 play <em>Lady Windermere\u2019s Fan<\/em>, BBC One talent show <em>I Can See Your Voice<\/em>, ITV\u2019s <em>The Martin Lewis Money Show<\/em> and every day in the jingles and branding on BBC Radio 6 Music.<\/p><h2 id=\"h-has-the-music-for-love-island-been-released\"><strong>Has the music for <em>Love Island<\/em> been released?<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong\/>Sort of; a remix by iLL BLU featured on Ministry of Sound\u2019s 2018 album <em>Pool Party<\/em>. There are some cracking playlists connected to the show on Apple Music and Spotify, too. Other than that, production music such as that composed at A-Mnemonic isn\u2019t readily available.<\/p><p><em>Ministry of Sound \u2013 Love Island Pool Party 2018<\/em><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-purple-m101-price-comparsion\"><div class=\"m101\" data-type=\"price-comparison\" data-template=\"default\" data-url=\"\" data-title=\"\" data-config=\"{"searchKeywords":"Love Island: Pool Party ","excludeKeywords":"","price":"2","delta":"1","limit":"4"}\"\/><\/div><p><em> <\/em><\/p><ul><li><strong><a href=\"navto:\/\/822c92b4-05e1-476c-a265-1a582a3fbdfa\">Top 10 film composers \u2013 of all time<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"..\/features\/articles\/best-british-television-tunes\/\">Six of the best\u2026 British Television Theme Tunes<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul> <\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"no-tts wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Michael Beek Published: Tuesday, 30 January 2024 at 10:21 AM If you\u2019re not watching the summer of sport which the UK is currently enjoying, then you\u2019re probably watching Love Island.
