Bondax were dead... long live Bondax

People who trawl through music blogs (ie music journalists and PRs) might have a vague memory of British electronic duo Bondax, who were being tipped for big things three years ago.

But disaster struck when their entire debut album went missing, as their laptop disappeared somewhere between a Bulgarian music festival and the airport. "I’ve got to admit, on that flight back I thought Bondax was over. I thought we’d fucked it," the band told DIY magazine last year.

Instead, Lancashire-born Adam Kaye and George Townsend dusted themselves off, played a few festivals, and released a stopgap album - Bondax and Friends - combining new material, collaborations and remixes. Then they started making an even better debut, which is due out next year.

The first single premiered on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show last night. It's called Temptation, it features Swedish hit-maker Erik Hassle, and it is an archetypal mid-tempo banger.
