Synopsis

A woman watches from a window before suddenly fleeing into the street, pursued by two men in long coats. Her escape unfolds through rapid cuts, tunnels, roads, and a tense car getaway, while scenes of dancers and a crowded club provide a pulsing counterpoint. The chase eventually draws the fugitives toward an enclosed urban space, where the threat catches up with them. The Chemical Brothers appear only briefly, keeping the focus on the video’s stylized crime-thriller narrative rather than a conventional band performance.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video was released in 1997 alongside the second single from *Dig Your Own Hole*, whose opening track became one of the Chemical Brothers' signature recordings.

• The Chemical Brothers make only a brief cameo. Their limited on-screen presence reflected the duo's preference for allowing the music and concept to carry the video.

• The song's club sequence is important to the video's structure: the track is eventually revealed as diegetic music playing inside the club, rather than merely functioning as background music.

• The track's distinctive vocal refrain comes from a Schoolly D sample, while the production also draws on older funk and breakbeat recordings.

• The single topped the UK Singles Chart and won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.

• The video helped establish the Chemical Brothers during the late-1990s electronic music crossover and received nominations for major video awards, including the Brit Awards and MTV Europe Music Awards.
