Brand new sonic impulses…
Electro dance experts THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS launch new album, entitled NO GEOGRAPHY next April. Last November they already shared corking lead single Free Yourself, followed by badass smack MAH (Mad As Hell) a couple of weeks ago. But now
it’s time to relax just a little bit. Yes, third new cut ‘GOT TO KEEP ON‘ is an old school chill-out groove, yet still highly danceable, with harmonious female voices repeating the track’s title like forever while the Bros throw in some church bells now and then to keep you focused. Here’s the audio clip…

8 January 2019
Rave legends THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS will release their follow-up album, entitled NO GEOGRAPHY to 2015’s Born In Echoes later in the year. Last November they shared first song Free Yourself and here’s the second one. MAH (Mad As Hell) is an unusual short
but highly denotative track. After a spooky intro it hits you like a massive cannonball. That’s the way the Bros making dance punk music, folks. Go berserk right here…

28 September 2018
The veteran dance experts THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS released their last album
Born In Echoes 3 years ago, back in 2015. A year later they launched stand-alone
single C-h-e-m-i-c-a-l . And just now they dropped a brand new track, which they
already played live on European festivals this summer. A taster for a new album?
Whatever, FREE YOURSELF is all you expect from the Bros. Trashy electro beats
that have an instant impact on your body temperature and your body movements.
The weekend is coming folks. Here’s the soundtrack. Dance yourself totally woozy
right here, right now…

Memorable moments in sonic history!…
‘Dig Your Own Hole’ by THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS
Released 7 April 1997 – 20 years ago…
Although they didn’t look as party animals themselves, Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons
created smoking dance trance firework to soundtrack every rave in the late nineties,
I know, I was there and their second album DIG YOUR OWN HOLE still feels today as
their best and most adventurous, yet accessible achievement ever. Tons of rockin’ beats.
What the press said…
ROLLING STONE
“The British DJ duo shows that playing other people’s records — sliced, diced and blown to ingeniously reconfigured bits — is a valid form of composition, and dance music is a matter
of both mind and body…”
ALL MUSIC
“The Chemical Brothers might not push forward into self-consciously arty territories like some of their electronic peers, but they have more style and focus, constructing a blindingly innovative and relentlessly propulsive album that’s an exhilarating listen…”
BBC
“Tom and Ed can harvest up the minds and mess up the hearing of a whole new crowd of converts, and remains an immense, far out and most staggering work. A key text. Literally amazing.”
SPUTNIK MUSIC
‘I like to imagine Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons as two mad and brilliant chemists who play with musical machines in their laboratory and set free monstrous things, kind of like Doctor Octopus in the Spider-Man mythology…”
Here are three highlights…

BLOCK ROCKIN’ BEATS
