The Chemical Brothers

The Chemical Brothers is a band consisting of two members, Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons. When in the 1990s in great Britain formed the genre of big-bit, which was called dance electronic music, the duo was among its ancestors.

The compositions were created with special equipment, and the sound was distinguished by the presence of powerful basses, broken rhythm and samples of various melodies. During their creative careers, the artists have won several Grammy statuettes and idols of fans in different countries of the world. The composition of the team remains unchanged from the moment of founding to the present day.

Both members of the duo were engaged in creativity from a young age. The fateful acquaintance of the musicians took place at the University of Manchester, where Tom and Ed entered. The first even then dreamed of a professional scene, and the second just liked to study the history of the Middle Ages. Admission to the university gave future artists perspective and new knowledge.

Meeting for the first time in 1989, later friends often spent time in clubs where dance music was played. Both of them had experience of independent experiments, so young people decided to cooperate. The history of the creation of the band began with the appearance of the band's name. At first they liked the name The 237 Turbo Nutters. The duo gave concerts in clubs and performed at parties, offering the audience a mix of techno, house and hip-hop.

Having been friends, the guys began to associate themselves with the producers known as The Dust Brothers, and, forgetting about the copyright, copied the name of the band. The first compositions of the duo were remixes. Realizing that the time had come for the author's material, they began to create it. On their own label Diamond Records, the guys released the track "Song To The Siren". They made 500 copies of the disc, but the album did not sell because the tempo of the music was too slow for dance.

The song was sent by DJ Andrew Weatherall, who included it in the set and released it on his own label. By this point, the musicians had graduated from university. They worked on the remix of "Packet Of Peace" and the release of "Fourteenth Century Sky".

By 1994, The Chemical Brothers had become the stars of the famous London club The Heavenly Social and even had time to work with the cult Prodigy. Many artists wanted the duo to remix their songs, but not everyone agreed on the creation.

In 1995, the band was offered a contract by the developing label Virgin Records. The debut album "Exit Planet Dust" was recorded, which drew praise from critics. In support of the album, the artists went on tour around the world as a warm-up band. The musician performed, opening joint concerts with Orbital and Underworld. The trip to the United States was fatal, as it was at this moment The Dust Brothers went to court because of the similarity in the names of the bands.

Tom and Ed had no choice but to come up with a new name. The duo took the name The Chemical Brothers. At that time, the artists' work was of great interest from the public. They made acquaintances with many musicians and several times collaborated with Oasis, performing at the opening. The first album was in the top ten of the world charts and entered the top 100 records of the 1990s according to Select Magazine.

In 1996, the single "Setting Sun" was released, which became the leader of the charts. After releasing a couple more premiere tracks, Rowlands and Simons prepared the album "Dig Your Own Hole" for release. The album won a Grammy and premiered for Mixmag magazine. The team toured the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom.

During this period, the name Of Chemical Brothers was on everyone's lips. Popular bands were asked to remix their songs. Metallica was among the teams offering cooperation. But the artists repeatedly refused the famous band. Focusing on DJing, the band released the album "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" in 1998, which featured remixes of songs by musicians who impressed Tom and Ed.

At the same time, the single "Hey Boy, Hey Girl" was released in the rotation, and in the summer of 1999, the band's discography was supplemented with the album "Surrender". The album was created with the participation of invited artists and was filled with house sound.

By the end of the year, the artists returned to work in the studio and recorded new tracks. At the same time, a disc with the best compositions of the duo "Singles 93-03" appeared on the shelves of music stores. There was also a new track "Get Yourself High" recorded with the participation of rapper K-os. In 2003, the 5th album "Push the Button" was released. The title theme was the track "Galvanize". The second single was "Believe". In 2006, The Chemical Brothers won two Grammys for their album and track.

The next disc in the duo's creative biography was "We Are the Night". In his support, the musicians went on tour, where they delighted fans with high-tech and spectacular performances. Together with the Spank Rock team, the duo recorded the track "Keep My Composure" as the soundtrack to the series "Heroes".

The musicians already had the next album "Brotherhood" in their plans. It included the band's hits, as well as several new tracks. Released in 2008, the album became very popular. The Chemical Brothers continued to work in the usual direction, periodically voicing DJ sets with new material. Two years later, the "Further" disc appeared. He received positive reviews from critics. Recorded songs were created with the participation of guest vocalists.

In 2010, Tom and Ed received an interesting offer from Joe Wright, who was working on the filming of the project "Hannah". The duo created soundtracks for the film. The album that united them was released in 2011, after the premiere of the film. A year later, the song "Theme For Velodrome" was released, dedicated to the Olympic Games held in London. The song was dedicated to cycling races. As Tom admitted in the interview, he was not indifferent to this sport. While working on the track, the duo tried to recreate the feeling of speed and experience.
