Out Now - 'Do You'

In Freeland's words "The remit on this one was if Led Zeppelin were making electronic music what would it sound like. And this is what we came up with. Helped quite a bit by having Tommy Lee on drums, creating that big John Bonham style drum sound".

Ever since Adam first played this in his Essential Mix, we've had hundreds of emails about when it will be released! Do You offers the unexpected, switching uptempo bangers for an 89 BPM groover that eludes any club-genre pigeonholing, and proves a mid-tempo can still set dancefloors aflame. It has an irresistibly massive, Moog synth hook, quickly mangled with choppy glitch edits and thundering kicks and snares that split the difference between Bonham and Run-DMC.

Do You is out now on Beatport with remixes by Joker / PANTyRAiD / Moonbootica / High Rankin
