"Processed Beats" is the third fully released single from English rock band Kasabian. It was released on 11 October 2004 and entered the UK Charts at #17. It was originally released as a demo, as Kasabian's first single, in limited numbers.

Music video

The music video features the band perform in a warehouse, and later the woods. As well as being their first song to feature Ian Matthews on drums, it is also his first music video appearance, although he is kept in the background due to not yet being an official member, and in the shot of the band going to the woods, he is not seen with them.
