Fluke announce ‘The Second Bite’ LP, composed of revised versions of their catalogue, and drop the first of two Daniel Avery remixes.The UK dance music legends LP cements a new era for the band and will accompany a host of remixes over the coming months.
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. Due for release internationally 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.
Driven by principal band members Jon Fugler, Mike Tournier, and Julian Nugent, The Second Bite boldly yet subtly reimagines twelve Fluke tracks from different eras of the band, including crossover hits 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.
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 Bjork, 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 recognisable to renewed generations of gamers, having featured on the multi-million selling console series’ Need For Speed: Underground as well as seminal racing game Wipeout 2097, for which the band recorded original music to feature 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 catalogues.
“The making of The Second Bite is testament to never selling a sampler or synthesiser, 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.” – Fluke.
