"Block Rockin' Beats" is a high-energy big beat track by The Chemical Brothers. Released in 1997 as the lead single from their album "Dig Your Own Hole", it topped the UK singles chart. The song's iconic bassline and samples make it a dance floor classic.
The Chemical Brothers are about to enter their fourth decade as an electronic act, and have written their first book, "Paused in Cosmic Reflection," which is out next month. The Quietus offers this exclusive extract, a look at how their first release, "Song to the Siren," changed everything.
