Seems that the Chemical Brothers are also involved with this music project for the Olympics.....>>>Click<<<

Because 'Don't Think' is almost out, we're interested to know what you guys are planning for the future.

Well, we're doing a bit of DJing this year. I would like to go to America and DJ at one of these new big raves. No one's asked us yet, but maybe you can put that out there. We're DJing in London in a couple of weeks, and we're going to Japan. We're working on some new music. We're doing some music for the Olympics, which is happening in our fair of town of London, and we've been asked to do something for that. And yeah, someday, there'll be another Chemical Brothers record.

Over here it specifies that the Chems will be doing music for the cycling segments! That should be fun - especially considering Tom's apparently nuts for cycling.
All in all it looks like the 2012 Olympics are shaping up to be great for the world of electronic music!

"It's a great honour to be asked to do this and one we're taking very seriously," said Hyde.

In before "Born Slippy (Stand Up London 2012 Olympics Mix)"!
Seriously though, I could not be more excited about this. I can only imagine what kind of amazing stuff a group like them could do for a show as big as the Olympics...
Does anybody know exactly what being "musical directors" entails though? Will they be composing music for the ceremonies? Actually performing live?
