The Chemical Brothers
The Chemical Brothers are a UK-based Grammy Award winning electronic music duo comprised of 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. On April 12, 2007 Pete Tong again had the privilege of giving the world the very first preview of a Chemicals track.
This time it was the first single "Do It Again" off their new album, aired on his BBC Radio One "In New Music We Trust" show. The track has surprised many fans due to its continuation from the Electronc Battle Series direction. The track is widely regarded as dance floor friendly, dominated by pop vocals and a minimalistic production approach. The track is regarded as a 'grower' after gaining mixed reviews after the first listen on Pete Tong's show, with its simplistic catchy vocals and electro beat. The official release of the single was June 4th (digital download) and June 14th (12", 7" and CD). In 2007, The Chemical Brothers' music will also be featured in a movie adaption of Irvine Welsh's best-selling novel Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance.
