This sounds like it could have been one of the promo copies of the
Chemical Brothers - "It Doesn't Matter" from their album that was
released just recently [Dig Your Own Hole.] The choon is massive and it
sounds like what you're describing and from what I understand there was a
12" sent to some retailers along with promo copies of their Block Rockin
Beats single and DYOH album.
The XDUST part of the catalog number also sounds about right too -- The
Bros last album was called Exit Planet Dust so... there may be some
correlation there as well.
