There were a lot of great British electronic acts that emerged in the 1990s. But there is only one The Chemical Brothers.

While they undoubtedly remain an immense force in the world of electronic music, it was their work in bringing the big beat sound into the mainstream that will forever be their greatest legacy.

Alongside peers like The Prodigy, Underworld and Fatboy Slim, they convinced rock’n’roll classicists that it was okay to dance. That you didn’t need guitars to coax vast amounts of emotion and euphoria out of a song.

After thirty years, nine albums, a string of era-defining bangers and literally thousands of amazing parties started, it’s time we shone the spotlight on this incredible force in modern music with a big two-hour party celebrating this incredible duo.

Join Gemma Pike for The Chemical Brothers J Files, Thursday 4 April at 8pm AEDT on Double J.
