Hot Chip have crafted the entrance music for the table tennis tournament at this year's Olympics.

Some bands just lend themselves to sport. Kasabian? Footie, innit. Led Zeppelin? The controlled aggression of boxing.

Hot Chip, though? Has to be table tennis. The band have stepped in to craft the entrance music for each player at the London Olympics, with the results set to be unveiled shortly.

Elsewhere, the band have confirmed their involvement with SS Coachella. A boat designed to take fans down the Stateside coast and into the Caribbean, the SS Coachella will also boast appearances from Pulp and more.

As if that wasn't enough, Hot Chip are plotting a new single. Taken from their recent album, 'How Do You Do' will be available digitally and on 12 inch vinyl.

The vinyl pressing will - as always - contain some choice remixes, with Hot Chip hooking up with the likes of Todd Terje, Ossie, Micky Moonlight and James Zabiela. Filmed both in London and LA by Rollo Jackson, you can watch the accompanying video for 'How Do You Do' below.
