The Chemical Brothers

The Chemical Brothers, comprised of Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, are titans of the electronic music scene, famed for their pioneering work that helped define the big beat genre in the 1990s. Emerging from Manchester, UK, in the early 90s, the duo originally called themselves "The Dust Brothers," later changing to The Chemical Brothers to avoid legal issues with the U.S. producers of the same name. Their unique sound—a high-octane blend of techno, house, and psychedelic music—propelled them to fame, with groundbreaking albums such as "Exit Planet Dust" (1995) and "Dig Your Own Hole" (1997), the latter featuring the genre-defining single "Block Rockin' Beats."

Over the decades, The Chemical Brothers have maintained their status as electronic music royalty, continually evolving their sound and influencing generations of producers and DJs. They have earned a raft of accolades, including multiple Grammy Awards, and are known for their spectacular live shows that merge their infectious beats with immersive visual spectacles. Their longevity is evidenced in a steady output of music, including recent releases like "For That Beautiful Feeling," and "Skipping Like A Stone," featuring Beck. The duo consistently collaborates with a diverse roster of artists, as seen in tracks like "Live Again" featuring Halo Maud, showing an enduring ability to push boundaries within the electronic music landscape.
