Qemists, The

Real Name:Dan Arnold, Leon Harris, Liam Black
Profile:A hard stick of Brighton Rock, massive Drum n Bass bangers and a glistening stream of Jazz: Ninja Tune’s newest signing ‘The Qemists’ are not quite what you expect.

Between the three of them, they have worked in every musical capacity available, from remixers to live sound for the likes of Coldcut, Basement Jaxx, Dreadzone, Kano, Lady Sovereign, as well as many of the biggest names in Drum n Bass.

In 2005 their debut release on Ninja Tune, a remix of Coldcut’s “Everything is under control” had massive support from Radio 1’s Zane Lowe, 1Xtra’s Crissy Criss, Andy C, Pendulum, as well as making it into Pendulum and Coldcut’s Radio 1 Essential mixes. Laurent Garnier said about the track “The Qemists remix is a phat monster motherfucker – Great! Can’t wait to play it at the weekend!” (And he did!)

Always on a mission to do something different, their 3 man, 2 deck, 2 laptop DJ set was born, bursting with double drops, live remixes and the sound of technology. This has landed them a residency at Devotion in their hometown of Brighton, and sets around the country.

The Qemists first started working together as the drummer, bassist and guitarist in a rock band. This took them around the UK and Europe gigging and gave them a lot of time in the studio recording. It was during this time, around 1997, that an interest in Drum n Bass took hold, and some of the groups early DnB efforts started to get airplay. For years the three were playing in a rock band by day and producing and djing dnb by night, which lead to an inevitable conclusion; why not do both at the same time.

“For the first time we started to use all our musical influences, all our live playing experience, to produce and DJ records. That’s when we took the name The Qemists”
