[2] The band have a separate deal with Beat Records[3] for distribution in Japan and with Detroit-based label FiXT Music for North America.

During this time in the rock band in the late 1990s, they acquired an interest in drum and bass and some of the group's early efforts started to get airplay.

For many years they were performing in the rock band as their day job while producing and DJing drum and bass at night, and this conflict of interests led to the fusion of the two styles to form The Qemists sound that is known today.

They had previously worked as live sound engineers for Basement Jaxx, Kano and Lady Sovereign.

In November 2015, they signed to Amazing Record Co., planning the release of Warrior Sound, their third studio album, on 4 March 2016.
