Are we sure Chemical Brothers are still on the way 😂

Prospa sound too clean for the old XL Recordings or FFRR/Manifesto.

Was just starting to wonder that 🤔 hopefully!

I am sitting in the car park waiting for 'Go' to come on (as I'll switch away from Radio 1 and drive home after that), did not expect to be waiting this long x

Jack better not have been spreading misinformation x

Biography

Electronic music's '90s glory days played out differently in the UK and the US, but The Chemical Brothers are one of the few acts of the era whose influence was equally weighty on both sides of the Atlantic. The Manchester duo of Ed Simons and Tom Rowlands came up in the Wild West of rave's early years, pressing up white-label 12-inches ("Song to the Siren," an early underground hit, made breakbeat mayhem out of This Mortal Coil) and remixing acts like The Prodigy. They were also eager students of Public Enemy's potent, rugged approach behind the boards, which might help explain why their debut album, 1995's Exit Planet Dust, was one of the first examples of British electronic dance music to captivate American ears. One listen to the gargantuan drums, synths, and sample play of signature tunes like "Chemical Beats" and "Block Rockin' Beats" shows how thoroughly they integrated rock, rave, and hip-hop, but they quickly moved beyond the sound called ""big beat."" By 1999's Surrender (which featured the unhinged hip-house smash "Hey Boy Hey Girl"), they'd begun giving free rein to their psych- and alt-rock leanings, dipping into hippie pastoralism on ""The Sunshine Underground"" and recruiting Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval, New Order's Bernard Sumner, and even Oasis' Noel Gallagher for guest vocals. They've remained one of electronic music's most consistently adventurous big-ticket acts, their output bouncing between throwback party jams ("Go"), quirky pop ("The Salmon Dance"), underground club fare (the "Electronic Battle Weapon" series), and even soundtracks (2011's Hanna). In the process, they've become something few of early rave's bootlegging beatmakers ever dreamed of being: a bona fide institution. - Apple Music

Hope that Free Your Mind can make top 20 next week

Oh yas here it is

Its been spoke into existence

Ah there we go! Best chart moment of the year so far ❤️ hope it can go top 10

Over the moon that 'Go' is now a top 40 hit it always felt a lot more well-known than its previous peak suggested.

Both this and 'Galvanize' are amazing so Chem Bros / Q-Tip is clearly a dream team *.*

I was lucky enough to hear this live back in 2019 and it's just as electric in person

I've never heard Go before. This 'revival' is a TikTok thing only?

Of course I'm digging "Go" - it would've fit the Mark Goodier/Wes/JK and Joel eras of the Top 40 shows

WiMH and SE(TFIL) as much as I still enjoy them they are outstaying their welcome

Yes at Go being so high and doesnt seem to be slowing the Scene is iconic and all over my tik tok fyp

Finally *.* well Top 20 next week seems a cert from here, but hurrah for this making a belated Top 40 debut, their best song since the 90s for me!

Nice to see this get a more deserving peak 11 years later.

What a sick tune!

This is from 2015? I thought it was earlier?

I remember finding this really annoying first time round so was quite glad it didn't go top 40 I'm not minding it so much these days though, it's definitely a well remembered track so this is a more fitting peak for it for sure.

The Chemical Brothers' first top 40 appearance in 19 years

Wonderful to have “Go” here: their best since “Galvanize” for me. Hadn’t realised it’s Q-Tip rapping.
