The Chemical Brothers

A pioneering DJ duo in electronic music. Following in the footsteps of the German group Kraftwerk (who were very active during the 70s and 80s), The Chemical Brothers shaped the standard sound of 90s dance music from Manchester, focusing more on samples and rhythms inherited from funk and hip-hop than on synthesizers (as was the case with the Germans).

Their discography includes great works that could be described as rhythmic-electric symphonies, since most of their work is instrumental/electronic (there are few vocal lines, and those that exist are sampled or very repetitive), as well as incredible remixes like the legendary live album "Live at the Social," a recording that, due to the hundreds (perhaps) of external samples, cannot be commercially viable, although this publication is unaware of the recording's current commercial status.

The Chemical Brothers, a duo formed by Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, as we have said, defined the electronic sound from the United Kingdom, along with, for example, The Prodigy and other similar bands, in addition to participating in those massive electronic music parties (called "raves") of the 90s in which too many drugs were consumed and that incredible music from, among others, these creatives was listened to.
