The Second Bite with Fluke

A significant force in the development of British electronic music, Fluke return to the culture and reinvigorate their forward-thinking library of material on an unexpected and powerful new album, "The Second Bite." 

Driven by principal band members Jon Fugler, Mike Tournier, and Julian Nugent, "The Second Bite" boldly yet subtly reimagines 12 Fluke tracks spanning the band's different eras, including crossover hits such as "Atom Bomb," "Groovy Feeling," and "Absurd." Retaining their peerless groove and cinematic atmosphere, the band rework each with contemporary production touches and arrangements that invite these ambitious recordings into a digital future.

The making of "The Second Bite" is a testament to never selling a sampler or synthesizer, like a voyage of discovery into the dusty end of the lock-up. There are so many memories wrapped up in these songs, so some real care was needed in how we approached them. It was a beautiful challenge, and what a pleasure to finally share it.

Making a significant contribution to both rave and chillout sound systems throughout the nineties and deep into the new millennium, Fluke’s progressive sonic philosophy saw the band invited to remix boundary-pushing artists including Björk, New Order, Talk Talk, and even The Rolling Stones, while their original productions were integral to the cult soundtracks of blockbusters The Matrix Reloaded and Sin City.

Their music remains instantly recognizable to new generations of gamers, having been featured on the multi-million-selling console series Need for Speed: Underground, as well as the seminal racing game Wipeout 2097, for which the band recorded original music alongside The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, The Prodigy, and Underworld.

Regaining control of their original compositions, Fluke approached "The Second Bite" with the same sense of creative community and futurist philosophy that has been fundamental to the band since their earliest recordings. Formed on the experimental fringes of London’s nascent acid house culture, informed by a shared love of progressive electronic sounds, Fluke have remained deeply invested in the possibilities of recording technology.

Decades later, reunited in a profoundly altered musical landscape, "The Second Bite" serves as a typically ambitious reintroduction to one of electronic music’s most essential back catalogs. Due for international release on 19th June 2026 via Surface Records in association with !K7 Music, "The Second Bite" arrives on digital formats, with a limited-edition double-vinyl gatefold LP following on the 27th June.
