The
Chemical Brothers
The
Chemical Brothers first met while at University
together in Manchester, England, over ten years
ago. They spent their time in Manchester visiting
some of the legendary nightclubs, such as the Hacienda.
In 1992, they created their first record as The
Dust Brothers, a name they eventually had to lose
due to the existence of a band with the same name
in America.
From that moment, the Chemical Brothers began a
rise to fame that saw them remixing the likes of
the Manic Street Preachers, The Prodigy and Primal
Scream. Their own debut album, 'Exit Planet Dust',
was eventually released in 1995, selling over one
million copies worldwide.
In late 1996, they reached Number One in the UK
charts for the first time with 'Setting Sun', featuring
none other than Noel Gallagher from Oasis. The subsequent
album, 'Dig Your Own Hole', brought with it another
Number One single and international recognition,
with 'Block Rockin' Beats' winning a Grammy Award
for Best Rock Instrumental.
The most recent Chemical Brothers album is 'Surrender',
again featuring top names as guest artists, and
helping them to win a Brit Award for Best British
Dance Act.
You can hear the unique story of how the Chemical
Brothers first met each other, and then began their
rise to fame through the club scene. |
