  • Chemical Brothers - Desert Island track

zackster The hierarchy of live British dance act duos, from the golden age, is as follows:
Underworld
The Orb
FSOL
Orbital
The Prodigy

Basement Jaxx
The Chemical Bros.

That, and this thread in general, reminds me - what the heck has happened to all the festival headlining dance acts?!

In the current era you only really have at a stretch Bicep. It’s crap.

      Dubman just seen they are doing a tour this month. Kentish Forum on 25th

      I saw them at Royal Albert Hall in 1998. Was an epic gig, helped by some acid and getting stoned in the venue. Happy days

          hugopal Depends how broad your definition is. LCD Soundsystem and Jon Hopkins spring to mind but there are only a few. Far from a headline act but Rival Consoles are consistently good snd excellent live

              How Groove Armada haven’t been mentioned yet is beyond me.

                If we’re talking Brit duos, Maribou State probably sits on top for me in terms of the new gen.

                If we’re talking Brit duos, how have these been overlooked?

                Now PHATS what I SMALL music!

                  Carl Cox dropped that on the old Space terrace.

                  TRU FAX.

                  LCD Soundsystem peaked 15 years ago!

                  Jon Hopkins has nowhere near the same mainstream appeal and size of hits as the likes of Underworld/Prodigy/Chemical Brothers etc.

                  Rival Consoles are also not comparable at all.

                      hugopal I refuse to be dragged into the weeds with you pal on LCD Soundsystem 😂

                        Prodigy were great when they were a rave band and not a noisy heavy metal band.

                        No doubting Liam Howlett’s talent for beats and tunes. Those first three albums were golden. It was very sad moment hearing Keith had died

                          BlainSA was it Their Law tour by chance? Mental gig that was. Played all their greatest hits.

                              Yeah there doing the U.F. Orb Album. That was the first time saw them live in Brighton.

                                alistair May well have been. Don’t remember hearing any of their stuff after Fat of the land bar Spitfire.
