The first broadcast took place on March 5th.
While still unable to tour, Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, better known as The Chemical Brothers, have decided to get into a new musical project called ‘Radio Chemical’, a series of mixes in which the couple will explore different musical genres.
Broadcasted via Sonos Radio, the collection began on March 5th with a ‘Dub Mix’, a set in which they channel their love of dub music. ‘It’s where the origin of the drum & bass is, and the main instrument is the mixer, where a delay turning on itself can be as exciting as a heartfelt letter’, they say on the press release. ‘A lot of this music pushes the boundaries of what can be done with a multitrack and the application of echo, eq, and phase. It is a constant inspiration for us of what is possible in the studio and the myriad ways that you can find to perform a song’.
Sonos Radio archives its broadcasts on Mixcloud, so you can listen to this first episode of ‘Radio Chemical’ in full below.
