The Chemical Brothers, uno de los dúos más icónicos de la música electrónica, se formó en Manchester, Inglaterra, en 1989. Sus integrantes, Tom Rowlands y Ed Simons, se conocieron mientras estudiaban en la Universidad de Manchester. Ambos compartían un amor por la música alternativa, el indie rock y la escena rave emergente de la época.
La pareja comenzó tocando en pequeños clubes y fiestas bajo el nombre de The Dust Brothers, en referencia a los productores estadounidenses del mismo nombre. No pasó mucho tiempo antes de que captaran la atención del público con sus eclécticos sets de DJ y su habilidad para mezclar géneros diversos como el hip hop, el techno y el house.
En 1992, tras una disputa legal con los Dust Brothers originales, Tom y Ed adoptaron el nombre de The Chemical Brothers. Publicaron su primer sencillo, Song to the Siren, que rápidamente se convirtió en un éxito en la escena rave británica. Su sonido, caracterizado por baterías potentes y sintetizadores envolventes, era diferente a todo lo que se había escuchado antes.
Su álbum debut, Exit Planet Dust, lanzado en 1995, consolidó su reputación como innovadores en la música electrónica. Con himnos como Leave Home y Life Is Sweet, el álbum fue bien recibido tanto por críticos como por fanáticos, estableciendo a The Chemical Brothers como líderes del Big Beat, un subgénero que fusiona elementos del breakbeat, el rock y el techno.
En 1997, lanzaron su segundo

I was looking like I'd never seen a face before
Here we go now lets slide in through the open door
Pictures and things that I've done before
Circling around me I'm here on the floor
