Following on from Delphic’s Olympic song ‘Good Life’ electronic duo the Chemical Brothers were also asked to write a piece of ODM (Olympics Dance Music) for the games.

Created for the cycling arena the Chemical Brothers’ song combines Kraftwerkian vocals chanting “velodreome” with layers of chrome riffs and waves of enchanting violins for an electrifying piece of electro.

Even if the games are a complete washout – at least we got some decent music out of the £10 billion we’ve spent.

Although Muse won the outright official song; tracks from Chems, Delphic, Dizzie Rascal and Elton John vs Pnau will all feature during the games.
