The Prodigy are an English electronic dance music group formed in 1990 by keyboardist and songwriter Liam Howlett. What started in the underground rave scene of the early '90s quickly evolved into one of the most trailblazing and influential bands in the electronic genre. Known for their high-octane performances and a raw mix of hardcore techno, breakbeat, and industrial elements, The Prodigy embraced the "big beat" genre, helping to bring it into mainstream focus. They shot to international fame with their sophomore album "Music for the Jilted Generation" and solidified their position in music history with the release of "The Fat of the Land" in 1997, which featured hits such as "Firestarter" and "Breathe."

Throughout their career, The Prodigy maintained a rebellious and uncompromising image, due in part to the iconic and intense persona of late frontman Keith Flint, whose onstage energy was a hallmark of the band's identity. As well as Maxim's charismatic presence and distinctive vocal contributions. The group continued to release music and perform to massive audiences around the world well into the 21st century, with albums like "Invaders Must Die" (2009) and "No Tourists" (2018), ensuring their continued relevance in the electronic scene. With a legacy of pioneering the rave culture in Britain and fusing electronic music with elements of punk and rock, The Prodigy remains a vital force in the evolution of contemporary music, pushing boundaries and influencing a wide array of artists across various genres. The band's recent remix releases, as part of various anniversaries and collaborations, attest to their enduring impact and the timeless quality of their sound.
