Tom & Ed met in history class at Manchester University in 1989. They started as DJs known as "The 237 Turbo Nutters" (named after the number of their house on Dickenson Road in Manchester and a reference to their Blackburn raving days). They then opted for "The Dust Brothers,” which they nicked from the L.A. producers of the Beastie Boys' 1989 Album "Paul's Boutique,” as they thought they would never be famous. In 1995 they changed their name to "The Chemical Brothers,” after the real Dust Brothers threatened to sue.

The Chemical Brothers, consisting of Tom & Ed, are an iconic electronic music duo who first came together while studying history at Manchester University in 1989. Originally starting out as DJs under the name "The 237 Turbo Nutters," a nod to their residence on Dickenson Road and memories of raving in Blackburn, they later adopted the moniker "The Dust Brothers." This name was borrowed from the renowned L.A. producers behind Beastie Boys' acclaimed album "Paul's Boutique," chosen with an assumption that fame would elude them forever. However, due to legal reasons stemming from copyright infringement concerns, they ultimately rebranded themselves as The Chemical Brothers in 1995.

Since then, The Chemical Brothers have solidified their place within the electronic music scene, captivating audiences worldwide with their distinctive sound and energetic performances. With a career spanning decades, this

back in stock. for years before the release of 'exit planet dust', the production duo of tom rowlands and ed simons were cranking out slabs of the biggest sounds around on the label junior boys' own. a key record of the 1990s, 'exit planet dust' invented the big-beat style that dominated british dance music in the second half of the decade, and it still sounds superb in its own right. skull-crunching hip-hop loops, fuzz guitar, insistently repetitive spoken samples and thunderous basslines make up the blueprint for one of the most instantly energising albums ever recorded. many of the titles - 'chemical beats', 'fuck up beats', 'chico's groove' are fairly self-explanatory. others show a level of erudite humour; 'song to the siren' filches the name of a tim buckley ballad for a track more in keeping with the mysteries of a car alarm, while 'one too many mornings' is nothing that bob dylan would recognise in a hurry. collaborations with beth orton ('alive alone') and the charlatans' tim burgess ('life is sweet') add human voices to the brilliant mechanical formula.
