PROG-metal band Enter Shikari will be joined by PDEX - D'n'B mixmaster extraordinaire when they play Bournemouth next month.

There's a new album too, The Hidden Words, which is out now on Basick Records.

Also playing will be Japanese rock gods Maximum the Hormone, who will be playing their first UK shows.

They took Enter Shikari on tour in Japan in January this year and the boys decided they would like to return the favour.

There's a new Enter Shikari single too - We Can Breath in Space/They Just Don't Want Us to Escape - which is due for release on the band's own Ambush Reality label.

A drastic re-working of a song originally demoed by the band way back in the mists of time, it was produced by Andy Gray.

This is the man who, aside from writing the famous theme tune to dreadful Channel 4 show Big Brother, has worked with the likes of Radiohead, U2, Gary Numan and Korn.

The tour plays the BIC's Solent Hall on October 27 and Southampton Guildhall on October 30.
