His tracks have appeared in the record boxes of Dave Clarke, Carl Cox and DJ Rush, whilst his electric live shows have seen him play everywhere from Berlin's legendary Tresor, to Bed in New York, Dublin's Kitchen and Australia's own massive Big Day Out and Earthcore festivals. Having been a highly lauded techno favourite for over a decade, Digital Primate aka Christopher Coe steps forward into the spotlight with his new single 'My Bush Would Make A Better President', unquestionably his most powerful and cross-over worthy release to date.

Featuring sassy Melbourne rapper/singer/songwriter CC Martini on vocals, 'My Bush Would Make A Better President' is a potent mixture of sexed-up attitude, political posture and pure dancefloor swing, set to get booty's shaking and provoke discussion in one devastating swoop. The track was conceived in 2004 when Coe and Martini hooked up, both unhappy with the current political climate and wanting to lay down their message in groove-ridden song form. Two years on and the pair have nailed the kind of profound booty bliss that stands tall in an industry where the likes of M.I.A, Peaches and Lady Sovereign have made their mark with outspoken lyrics and tough head-nodding beats.

It's no surprise that Coe is out to make an impact with 'My Bush…' being released on September 11. The track is intended as a poignant reminder of every person's obligation to never forget the events that transpired on that tragic day and of our responsibility to examine what actions have been taken in our name since then. As a testament to his commitment to free speech, Primate will be donating his royalties from the sale of the single to the 'Get Up' organisation, a group dedicated to shaking-up the conservative political establishment across our wide brown land.

Likely to create more than just a storm in the political teacup, 'My Bush…' features a slew of funked up remixes. Local producers Li'l Ray Lyford dish up an über cool hip-shaking reworking whilst Samuel Acres stretches into experimental territory with eerie sonics and twisted percussion. With more re-rubs in the pipeline, both of these current mixes are sure to set clubland alight over the coming months.

A guaranteed campaign winner, 'My Bush Would Make A Better President' is a hook-friendly stomper, that will have you humming all through the day and boogying at night. With a full-length album 'Siege Mentality' set for release on October 14, it's clear that 2006 is the year for Digital Primate!

The single 'My Bush Would Make A Better President' will be released on September 11 2006 on Public Opinion/Shock
