As a prelude to the release of their eagerly anticipated ‘Best of’ entitled Brotherhood, dancefloor pioneers The Chemical Brothers will drop a brand new digital single Midnight Madness tommorow, Tuesday August 19. The package will also include the classic track "Hey Boy Hey Girl" remixed by Soulwax.
"Midnight Madness" has already become a massive global club release having been released anonymously in the guise of “Electronic Battle Weapon 10”, a club DJ only white label. Since 1996 the Electronic Battle Weapons have acted as the laboratories for The Chemical Brothers devious musical experiments and laid the rhythmic and melodic foundations for numerous tracks as well as providing some of the duos most formidable mixes."Midnight Madness" is the newest beneficiary. The track is one of the biggest tunes in Ibiza this season.
The "greatest hits" cd Brotherhood will be released on September 2nd and is comprised of a first disc of greatest hits and a limited edition with a second disc containing the entire series of ten ultra rare Electronic Battle Weapons compositions.
