The Prodigy
There are legends of electronic music – and then there is The Prodigy. “Breathe,” “Firestarter,” “No Good (Start the Dance),” “Smack My Bitch Up,” “Voodoo People,” “Diesel Power”… Liam Howlett’s talent for building dystopian creations from oftentimes shocking samples is unmatched. The project emerged at the creative peak of rave culture and became a bridge between the underground of British dance music and the rest of the world. Its unique sound on the border of hardcore, jungle, techno, hip-hop, and rock music made the band an icon of alternative culture, no matter which subculture you belonged to. In the 1990s they were synonymous with rebellion and futurism. Their incredible live performances allow them to maintain their status to this day. The Prodigy will be one of the headliners of the 20th anniversary edition of Audioriver Festival.
