Ready, set… globe!
Five fearless teams take on the ultimate travel test, racing 14,000km across Asia with just over £1,000 per person, no phones, no internet, and no safety net. Only one team will reach the finish line first and claim the £20,000 prize.

We became a team once again with BBC Creative to put you right in the thick of it with an immersive audio trailer to launch the series. Surrounding the listener in the sounds of the series, letting them feel what it’s like to be on the road in the centre of the action.

This weekend, India take on New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy final.

On the eve of the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan match, for DP World’s Champions’ Celebration at the Ritz-Carlton, Dubai, we were tasked with designing a musical soundtrack for a spectacular drone show from skymagic, followed by a powerful fireworks finale by Flash Art.
We created the musical score to harness the excitement and drama of the event, enhancing the stunning animations with light and shade, tempo shifts, electronic and strings, with an emotional build ensuring the music carried the drama, energy, and celebration of the occasion.

Wishing both teams the best of luck this weekend!

The second show we were music directors on this New Year’s Eve took to the skies 4 hours before London in the UAE.
We created the soundtrack for Ras Al Khaimah’s record-breaking New Year’s Eve celebration 🎆 ✨

Working with Fireworks by Grucci and SKY MAGIC, we created an electronic and orchestral musical score to orchestrate an absolutely huge show of pyrotechnics and laser drones.

“Our Story in the Sky,” played out across three acts as we designed a musical score to tell the story and glue the pyro and drone animations together emotionally.

It was an incredible way to ring in the new year, and we’re proud to have been a part of it.

Hello 2025! On New Year’s Eve, London once again dazzled the world with Europe’s largest annual fireworks display, broadcast live on BBC One and YouTube.

Collaborating with Identity and an incredible team of creatives to create the show, we designed a soundtrack that reflected on 2024 and carried a message of hope into the new year. Every track told the story while creating the emotional springboard for the messaging and spectacular pyro, lighting and projections.

Working with the world-class agency, client and creative partners was once again a true highlight and after some severe storm warnings on the day, the show was executed spectacularly to create one of the most memorable London New Year’s Eve shows to date in which we’re proud to have played a key creative role.

Here’s to a hopeful and inspiring 2025!

It’s truly the festive season as Coca-Cola launched the iconic Xmas Truck Tours and switched on the Christmas lights, bringing joy and excitement worldwide with some amazing drone light show experiences.

The campaign featured five major global events, including the first ever drone show in the arctic circle, in Rovaniemi, Finland.

We worked with Dentsu Creative to craft a magical musical soundtrack featuring classic Coca-Cola tracks, custom Christmas music and sound design, to tell a spectacular story in the sky.

Working with our friends at Dronisos - Drone Light Shows and Flyby Guys for Coca-Cola.

Cheers to spreading holiday spirit and creating unforgettable moments!
