The album Six Million Ways To Live has been out for some time now, but it's good to see one of its best, funkiest moments getting a single release. The radio edit keeps the punchy bassline and breakbeat that hark back to the sound of mid '90s Brighton, with a decent rap over the top to boot.

The remix packages are chalk and cheese. DJ Touche turns in a fired up, four to the floor number that bears little resemblance to the original, but in a good way. The Dogtown Clash mix builds on the track's breaks potential, a tough rhythm sorting the Pistols out. The Boutros on the Beach mix is just wrong, a slowed down effort that misses its chill out target by some distance.

It's a good single release all round though, with Official Chemical second only to the mighty Problem Is on the album. Now for something new!
