The new single comes after the duo – comprising Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons – recently shared a new mix which explores their love of dub music.

The hour-long mix is the first in a planned series of themed mixes by the production veterans as they launched a new station ‘Radio Chemical’ for Sonos Radio last month.

The Chemical Brothers said of the project: “We’re excited to bring you a selection of some of our favourite music – a deep dig into our record collections.
