Since they first met a decade ago, the Chemical Brothers have been on a mission। Their aims: to find the sounds no one had heard before, to push their music as far as it will go, to make each record fresher and more exciting than the last. And from "Song To The Siren" in 1992 to the brain-blitzing mutant psychedelia of their third album, Surrender, that's what they've done. On the way they've invented (and transcended) big beat, toured the globe, remixed the world and his brother, soundtracked some of the messier nights out of the last few years and made some of the most influential music of the decade.
Ed Simons (tall, curly hair) and Tom Rowlands (taller, long hair) met while study
ing history at Manchester Poly in l989। They'd come from the south to Manchester for the music and launched themselves at the club scene with a vengeance. From nights at the legendary Hacienda, to raves in Blackburn and misbehaviour at clubs like Justin Robertson's Spice and Most Excellent they soaked it all up. When they started to DJ ("borrowing' the name the Dust Brothers from the American producers of the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique), they put their own spin on things.

A mix album that mashed up their own tracks and DJing favourites into a full throttle, manic frenzy. It was voted Compilation Of The Year by most music magazines. More bizarrely, "Block Rockin' Beats" netted a prestigious Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental. The Chemicals were not aware they made rock instrumentals, but they accepted it anyway. Dig Your Own Hole went on to achieve gold status in the USA, selling 500,000 there and over two million dollars.
The Chemical Brothers are a Grammy Award winning electronic music duo from England, comprising Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons (occasionally referred to as Chemical Tom and Chemical Ed). Initially they called themselves "The Dust Brothers", after the noted United States production duo of the same name, but their burgeoning popularity and the threat of legal action from the originals led them to change their name in 1995. Along with The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, The Crystal Method and other lesser-known acts they were pioneers of the big beat electronic dance genre, and are known for high-quality live sets.
---that is not one of the best but, that duo has been making superb sound blends...---
