Freestylers produced "Painkiller" and released it in 2006 to drum up interest in their album Adventures in Freestyle, bringing in Pendulum and SirReal as guests. The two acts already had form together: they'd teamed up on "Fasten Your Seatbelt", a single that also landed on Pendulum's 2005 album Hold Your Colour.

This one lives where breakbeat and drum and bass collide, built for speakers the size of wardrobes rather than the kitchen radio. It came out on 12-inch vinyl and CD, with a second 12-inch of remixes behind it, and it got a video too.
