Elektrobank orange phone visuals inspiration

May 26, 2025, 09:44 by Ben_j

I just stumbled on this post on Reddit (see attached file)

I don't know if that was ever discussed here, but that must obviously be the inspiration for the recent live show visuals for elektrobank:

What would a Chemical Brother curated Despacio playlist look like?

May 20, 2025, 06:37 by Bosco

In the spirit of Dewaele Brothers (Soulwax/2manyDJs) and James Murphy's (LCD Soundsystem) Despacio being a big highlight among music festivals, I was wondering what a Chemical Brother playlist would look like if they took the helm of Despacio.

For the record, I have not experienced Despacio, but from what is described, all of these tracks on this spotify playlist have been performed in its existence:

From that list, my assessment of a Despacio track would be something that:

Exists on vinyl
A dynamically rich track that that can utilize the full high fidelity speaker setup they have
Not exclusive to dance or club mixed type tracks
Have a personal influential quality

With that in mind, what do YOU think would be on a Chemical Brothers Despacio playlist?

Some tips I would give what would make a good track for this playlist:

Tracks where they have borrowed or sampled music from
Tracks that can be heard in their DJ mixes
Tracks that they have specifically spoken about
Tracks that have close proximity to their career and thus likely to be a Chemical Brother friendly track.

I'll start us off :

Kylie Minogue - 'Slow'

Kraftwerk - 'Europe Endless'

Freestyle - 'Don't Stop the Rock'

The Bugaloos - 'The Senses of Our World'

What you guys got? I'll try and keep us updated with a masterlist.

The ChemBase Anniversary

Apr 24, 2025, 19:46 by Explud

Hello everyone!

10 years ago on this day, I registered a domain thechembase.com and together with our mutual friend Caleb, known to you as WhiteNoise, we started creating this space.

I was responsible for the technical part, he was responsible for the design, and together we were responsible for the overall ideas of the resource.

This was a response to the fact that the label considered the official forum to be something irrelevant and unnecessary, while in my opinion and the opinion of many it was still a wonderful and convenient place for discussions.

We have always tried to bring a special comfort and tried to preserve the atmosphere of communication that originated in the original place.

I am grateful to everyone who has helped us all these years, fought against bots, brought good and interesting news and facts, digged samples info and shared recordings of performances and DJ sets.

Of course, my main thanks go to Caleb and Julius.

Unfortunately, I don't know the exact reasons why they left this place, and this brings me particular bitterness.

Unfortunately, I also don't have the opportunity to make a vinyl giveaway or some physical stuff with merch, I don't know how the guys from discord make it. I hope for your understanding.

The only gift that I can bring is the lifting of my last moratorium. But I also hope for your prudence in discussing serious topics.

Love is all.

x
Alexander

COACHELLA thread

Apr 12, 2025, 10:41 by Bosco

(creating this thread to discuss anything and everything Coachella, especially since Couchella is back!)

Missy Elliot is both amazing and disappointing. She's not the headliner, yet I've never seen so much production poured into a sub-headliner, EVER. The disappointing part is it's a complete medley show. I absolutely hate that it's like a tiktok version of her career. I feel like I'm watching an elongated and tiring version of a Super Bowl halftime show.

Oh yeah, and she started the show as a transformer.

A thread to discuss concepts that you think The Chemical Brothers should explore/produce.

I'll go first...

Chemical Brothers Themed Pinball Game

Absolutely not a get rich idea, but wouldn't that be the tits?! They absolutely have all the signature sounds and visuals to create one epic pinball playfield. Even a virtual themed pinball board would be a delight.
