Adam Freeland has drawn inspiration from Led Zeppelin on his band's new single 'Do You' and has recruited Motley Crue bad boy Tommy Lee for the drumbeat.
The Brighton-based DJ-producer releases new single 'Do You' on 15th June.
Adam said: "The remit on this one was if Led Zeppelin were making electronic music what would it sound like?
"And this is what we came up with. It helped having Tommy Lee on drums, creating that big John Bonham style drum sound."
Poised to set dancefloors aflame 'Do You' has a massive Moog synth hook, mangled with choppy glitch edits and thundering kicks and snares that split the difference between Bonham and Run-DMC.
Freeland's album 'Cope™' is released on 8th June on Matine Parade. You can hear the entire new album streaming at Freeland.FM with commentary by Adam and the star-studded cast.
Tommy Lee of Motley Crue played drums, Alex Metric co-produced it, Twiggy Ramirez of Marilyn Manson plays bass. Joey Santiago of the Pixies and Tony Bevilacqua of Distillers/Spinerette play guitar.
The album features a collaboration with Soundpool, vocals from Brody Dalle (Distillers Spinerette) and Gerry from DEVO. Freeland's new frontman Kurt Baumann lays down vocals on four tracks.
'Cope™' is available to pre-order from www.freeland.fm - Pre-order and get two free downloads and a video of the album launch party in Adam's studio including interviews with the collaborating artists.
