Ellie Goulding‘s got a new single out! Well, sort of.

UK producer DJ Fresh — the man responsible for UK #1’s “Hot Right Now” with Rita Ora and “Louder” with Sian Evans among many Top 10 hits over the past few years — supplied the punchy drum and bass track “Flashlight” for Ellie’s Halcyon Days re-release back in summer of 2013. (Feels like ages ago!)

Now, the DJ’s gone and dusted off the track with a slight polish for a proper single release in 2014, due to dominate dance floors across the pond on September 28. (Feels like decades from now!)

The re-rub stays pretty true to the original, supplying some added punch to the already energetic production as Ellie’s voice gets swept up in a turbulent explosion of beats and thumping drums. “Get out of my way — I’m coming through!” she warns throughout. Make room on the dance floor: Ellie’s coming! Listen to DJ Fresh’s “Flashlight” with Ellie Goulding after the jump.
