Bands like Chemical Brothers (Analog era)

[irishbuzz]

Hello!

Of course I know Crystal Method, Fatboy Slim, Leftield and Propellerheads.
But I'm looking for bands that sound similar to the first three albums of tcb. I'd love to discover something a bit more underground or less mainstream. Although I've found some interesting independent artists on Apple Music lately, none of them quite capture that magical, warm electronic vibe of that specific era. Did you discover someone interesting?

I'd like to give this a proper think, but here's a few off the top of the dome:

Indian Ropeman
Meat Beat Manifesto
FC Kahuna

You should check out The Dust Brothers. They have 2 nice EP's and one nice Single...

FC Kahuna

I love Hayling

It was recommended to me as younger Chemical Brother fan, and I'll pass it on NOW as a more grizzled Chemical Brother fan...

'Lazer Guided Melodies' by Spiritualized

...it is not dance music or what one would categorize as an "electronic music album", but has all the hazy and spacey hallmarks from The Chemical Brothers.

Surely we've had a thread like this before on here? I tried searching, but the words "Chemical Brothers" bring up a LOT of results. Too many...

From me in 2022:

I posted a Michel Gondry "Bullet Time" Smirnoff advert in the Denver thread recently. The ad actually had three different "soundtracks" depending on your territory. For my territory (UK & Ire) it wasn't the track on that video I posted, it was the one below. A track so '90s "Chemical" sounding that it popped up on a compilation CD called Electronic Battle Weapons. Some of you may also be familiar with it from JBO: A Perspective.


Dylan Rhymes - Naked & Ashamed

You could do worse than check out Evil Nine. I don't know if you were old enough to listen to the Nu Skool Breaks scene of the early 2000's. If not, maybe have a google.

Evil Nine - We Have The Energy

Evil Nine and Dylan Rhymes... brutal sound, wow. This is what I'm looking for!
