The Chemical Brothers' Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons may have been ravers but not quite of the same scene as Liam Howlett's gang. In 1992 they were DJing hip-hop, techno and acid house, citing Public Enemy, Renegade Soundwave and Meat Beat Manifesto as influences among others, and they reportedly only started making their own music because they were running out of instrumentals to use. In the early days they were known as The Dust Brothers, a moniker chosen in homage to the producers of Paul's Boutique without any expectation that they'd ever make it big enough to have to change it. Their very first single Song to the Siren in late 1992 eventually caught the attention of one DJ Andrew Weatherall who helped get them signed to Junior Boy's Own. Some remixes and EPs followed and it wasn't long before the duo's hard work paid off and turned them into globe-trotting stadium pleasers.
