808 STATE (above) release a new single, their follow-up to 'Pacific State', released almost eight months ago. 'Cubik Olympic State' is out on ZTT on October 29 and is available in all formats.

The track was intended as the theme for the 1992 Olympic games if their home city of Manchester was successful in its bid to host the games. The B-side tracks are 'Olympic Flutey Mix' and 'Cubik Original Mix', while the 12-inch and CD versions carry the 'Cubic Pan Am Mix' and 'Olympic Euro Bass Mix'.

808 States have been keeping busy since their June tour by working with fellow Manc, MC Tunes, on 'The Only Rhyme That Bites' and 'Tunes Splits The Atom'.
