Following the massive success of his November 2024 single ‘Heavy Heart’ with Skrillex and Firebox DML, Loco Dice is back with his first release of the year, ‘Road Runner’.
This powerhouse collaboration with the legendary Carl Cox is the second of six singles leading up to Loco Dice‘s newly announced album ‘Purple Jam‘, which is scheduled for release on May 23, 2025.
Out now via Virgin Records, ‘Road Runner‘ takes things in a fresh direction, offering fans an exciting new cutting-edge track to keep the energy high while building up to his much sought-after album rollout.
Road Runner, named after Carl‘s beloved Plymouth Roadrunner, captures the raw energy of his signature tech house while weaving in Carl Cox’s drum’n’bass influence. The track has evolved naturally from their many B2B sessions in the past, built on crisp hi-hats cutting through a rolling bass—designed to hit just right in both day and night sets.
Carl Cox‘s touch brings a new dimension, uniting two heavyweight sounds that have shaped the scene for years. For Dice, this collaboration is more than just a track—it’s a reflection of a deep-rooted connection with Carl Cox that goes back to his early days:
“I am Carl Cox’s biggest fan. I’ve known the man since my early techno beginnings. It was a blessing when he spotted me at my first gig at Circoloco in 2002. That was the kick-off of my career and the beginning of the beautiful journey that still lasts.
Somewhere on the way I remixed Carl’s ‘Family Guy’ in 2016. I was invited to join him on several US bus tours, on many Ultra stages worldwide, and at his famous residency at Space Ibiza. Our crazy b2b closing battles were highlights of my seasons.
Today I’m honored to have worked with Carl on my new single ‘Road Runner’. It was named after his beautiful Plymouth Road Runner that I fell in love with when I visited him in Australia. Here’s to the future. Oh yes, oh yes!”
