 The Chemical Brothers
The Chemical Brothers are releasing a new 'Battle Weapon' - namely a new track called Midnight Madness - fresh for an August release. This will be the tenth in the elusive series of white-label, experimental works that Tom and Ed Chemical release in very limited editions.
These 'weapons' go out to the duo's DJs mates first, so listen extra hard to your favourite DJ's sets; you might have even danced to Midnight Madness already!
The Chemical Brothers are one of dance music's few stadium acts - two friends who went from playing at small (but hugely influential and popular) clubs like the Heavenly Social to being Turnmills' residents, then having the pull to play Glastonbury and maintain a career that has seen their 'chemical beats' span the globe with six hit albums, international tours and collaborations with the likes of Noel Gallagher, Tim Burgess (of The Charlatans), Bernard Sumner (New Order) and old school rap legend Schooly D to name but a few.
So that means they only turn it on for the big gigs, right? Wrong. The Electronic Battle Weapons series allows the Chems to test out more experimental tracks in a club environment. Tracks that eventually became big hits like Don't Stop The Rock and It Began In Afrika started out as EBW releases, so Midnight Madness, the tenth in this series, comes to us with a very serious musical pedigree indeed.
And the good news doesn't even end there. Mixmag.net recently reported that there's a new Chemical Brothers Best Of…release coming up soon too. This will include a separate CD containing all ten of hard-to-find Battle Weapons, plus Keep My Closure, their unreleased collaboration with Spank Rock.
