Chemical Brothers
The Chemical Brothers are the English electronic music duo 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 the threat of legal action from the originals led them to change their name in 1995. Along with Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk and The Crystal Method and others, they are acknowledged as pioneers of the big beat electronic dance genre which achieved mainstream popularity in the 1990s. The duo are also celebrated for their high-quality, high-voltage live sets.
