The then seventeen-year-old <\/span><b>Liam Howlett<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who built his musical foundations on hip-hop, was instantly infatuated with the new sound and energy of the subculture whose birth he witnessed and with which he grew up. In his own four walls, in a studio built with money earned from seasonal jobs, he pushed the boundaries of electronic music, combining samples and mixing elements of techno, breakbeat, and jungle to create a sound that was uniquely his own. In that studio, in his room, a large part of the discography of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exitfest.org\/en\/lineup\/the-prodigy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>The Prodigy<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, named after Liam&#8217;s first synthesiser, was created.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before founding the band, <\/span><b>Howlett <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">already had an entire arsenal of self-produced tapes \u201cin stock.\u201d He also agreed on the release of an EP, <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/6vuZboPTHMAefguzzqAhwo?si=29XuHPy6QhafSrmIfXjapA\"><b>What Evil Lurks<\/b><\/a><b>,<\/b><b>\u201c<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with leading independent underground label <\/span><b>XL<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where his powerful musical vision was recognised. In the meantime, he met two prominent &#8220;ravers from the crowd,\u201d <\/span><b>Keith Flint and Leeroy Thornhill<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He invited them to join him on stage, united in a common idea \u2014 to do what felt right. They were soon joined by MC <\/span><b>Maxim Reality<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, whose official introduction to the band happened <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in medias res <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 at their first performance together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout their career, <\/span><b>The Prodigy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tried to maintain this creative process \u2014 <\/span><b>Liam<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would write and compose music independently, and instead of organised rehearsals, the band would try out new musical material via direct interaction and energy exchange with the audience at their increasingly frequent live performances. This approach turned out to be the formula for their success \u2014 the 1992 debut album <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/7uSC6NXKlE3zGo0mu8Ik5r?si=xhyLwx5zRW2YdU7XbVOx5A\"><b>Experience<\/b><\/a><b>\u201c<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> became a classic before its official release, with lead singles <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cSTBFZ-To2E\"><b>Charly<\/b><\/a><b>\u201c <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a4eav7dFvc8\"><b>Out of Space<\/b><\/a><b>.<\/b><b>\u201c<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> All active and prominent producers and DJs, including <\/span><b>Carl Cox,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> played songs from this release.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first wave of success inevitably led the band to its first obstacles. One of the toughest of those obstacles came in the form of the cover of <\/span><b>Mixmag Magazine <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">featuring an article entitled <\/span><b>\u201cDid \u2018Charly\u2019 kill rave?\u201c<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">criticising the new wave of tracks with \u201cchildish\u201d samples that this single started, pointing the finger at individual members of the band, but also at the entire subculture.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revolted by the media tirade, but also by the pressure of the British government, which at that time tried to ban illegal raves, <\/span><b>Liam<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> started working on a new album \u2013 <\/span><b>&#8220;Music for the Jilted Generation&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 dedicated to this very problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>\u201cSo, I\u2019ve decided to take my work back underground, to stop it falling into the wrong hands\u201c <\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">by opening the album with this sample, <\/span><b>Howlett <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sent a strong message, solidifying the power of the rave movement and setting <\/span><b>The Prodigy <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">firmly on its throne.
