DANCE FLOOR favourites the Chemical Brothers are back with their latest helping of electronic tunes, We Are the Night.

This is the sixth album Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons have produced, and as ever it is packed with collaborations with music's top names, including nu-rave darlings Klaxons and American rockers Midlife.

Plenty of the Brothers' usual interstellar themes are evident from the start. Title track We Are the Night and All Rights Reserved both crackle with cosmic energy, while the quick fire lyrics of Do It Again have already proved popular with fans. Stand out track is the haunting Battle Scars, while upcoming single The Salmon Dance could become one of the quirkiest hits of the summer.

We Are the Night proves that the Chemical Brothers haven't lost their magic touch, and should cement their place amongst the dance music elite.
