Oh Snap! (Electronic Battle Weapon )


I try and never forget about the Chemical Brothers. Watching the let forever be video remains masturbatory for me to this day and every now and then, they still drop a real banger remix or something. You just can't knock a Chemical Brothers loop.


Plus, ever since 1999, the CB have been quietly releasing UK promo-only 12"s called the Electric Battle Weapons. The Electronic Battle Weapon promos are usually released exclusively to DJs to test out new tracks in clubs [data from planet dust]. There are 7 cut to wax so far, and as of last week installments 8 and 9 have leaked in pieces on the BBC and the internet. Because they were only given to CB's favorite DJs, before P2P the only way you could hear these tracks was to be that DJ or catch it in the club.

There is a great remix of EBW9 by Segue floating around the net, and ive heard a few edits of EBW7, i think because it was on the Galvanize single. Wish we could find more on vinyl!!!
