Rave legends Orbital have teamed up with Australian electro-pop outfit Confidence Man on a new single, Re-lush, which is a modern re-imagining of their classic 1993 track Lush 3-1/Lush 3-2.
The single precedes the release of an expanded re-issue of Orbital’s seminal Brown Album, which lands on 23 May.
Commenting on the new single, Orbital said, “Confidence Man have done that rare but always strived for thing with a remix, it’s totally Lush, totally Orbital, totally modern, and totally Confidence Man. How did they manage to get all that into one track? I’m even going to nick bits of it for when we play festivals over the summer, that’s how much we love it!”
The release also follows on from a recent remix Orbital undertook of Confidence Man’s single Far Out.
“Lush is one of our favourite dance tracks of all time, so we were like rabid dogs with the stems in our hands,” Confidence Man said of their remix. “Kids in a cooked candy store. Dreams really do come true if you dream hard enough, and we’re proof.”
As well as the original album in full, the re-released Brown Album features two discs of remixes and rarities, including mixes from Underworld, CJ Bolland, and Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia, as well as a live performance recorded at the Limelight in New York in 1992.
Orbital will support the reissue with live shows across the UK and Europe, including Brighton (May 23), London’s Rough Trade East (May 25), and Kingston (May 26) – plus summer festival dates at Paradise City, BBK Live, Forest Fest, and Wilderness, among others.
