About this album

Dig Your Own Hole is the Chemical Brothers’ breakthrough statement, the album that pushed big beat from club phenomenon into the mainstream. Released in 1997, it sharpened the duo’s blend of rave breaks, acid textures and rock-heavy momentum into a louder, more assured sound, driven by Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons’ knack for making dance music feel immediate and huge. Block Rockin’ Beats and Setting Sun became defining singles of the era, while the album’s restless sequencing and sharp production helped it stand as one of the key electronic records of the 1990s. Widely praised on release, it confirmed the Chemical Brothers as leaders of the UK electronic boom.
