Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke is releasing a new single. But it’s not just any single, firstly it’s for charity and secondly it’ll come out on a 3D printed vinyl.

The singer is teaming up with vocalist Bobbie Gordon, as well as sponsors Bacardi and music therapy charity Nordoff Robins, to release “Down Boy” as a limited-edition single, available from a London pop-up shop during December.

The single uses technology pioneered by Amanda Ghassaei, who developed a technique of transferring MP3 files into printable records last year.
