Warrior's Dance Festival is a one day electronic music and rock music festival curated by The Prodigy. In 2009 the first festival was held in Tokyo, Japan. The lineup included The Prodigy, Pendulum, Hadouken!, MSTRKRFT, AutoKratz and South Central. In 2010 the festival was held at Milton Keynes Bowl in the UK. Headlined by The Prodigy, the event was held over two stages with mainstage performances from Pendulum, Chase & Status, Does It Offend You, Yeah?, Enter Shikari, Doorly, Zane Lowe and Eddy Temple Morris. The second stage was headlined by Gallows with Lethal Bizzle, David Rodigan, Caspa and Hounds. In late 2011 Warriors Dance Festival was announced for Kalemegdan Fortress in Belgrade, Serbia on September 15, 2012.
The first two announced acts to play were The Prodigy and Skrillex. In 2013, the festival was announced for the Exit Festival in Novi Sad, Serbia. The announced acts are The Prodigy, DJ Fresh, Feed Me, Prototypes, Brookes Brothers, Eyesburn and South Central.
In 2009 The Prodigy established the Ragged Flag label, their own record label for new talents. Nothing much has never been heard of that since then. The label is backed by UK independent label Cooking Vinyl just like their Take Me To The Hospital label which is used to release Prodigy's own music. Prodigy founder Liam Howlett remarked on the band's website: 'We have been planning this for a while and we are looking forward to building our label up, starting off with the release of the new Prodigy album.' Fastest-Selling Dance Album The fastest selling dance album in the UK is The Fat of the Land (1997) by Prodigy, which sold a record 317,000 copies in its first week.
In the USA it sold more than 200,000 in its first week. The album entered the chart at No. 1 in a total of 20 countries, including the USA, the United Kingdom, Canada, Austria and Norway. Prodigy are distinctive not only for their 'hardcore' style of dance music, but also for their unique looks - Keith Flint has dyed, shaved hair and a pierced septum, while Maxim wears cat's-eye contact lenses. Dance Act With Greatest Number of Simultaneous Hits On 20 April 1996 all of The Prodigy's 10 hit singles were in the UK Top 100. Their previous nine singles (Charly, Everybody In The Place, Fire, Out Of Space, Wind It Up, One Love, No Good Start The Dance, Voodoo People and Poison) had been re-issued after Firestarter gave them their first No.
Most Successfull Dance Music Career in the UK Prodigy have had the best ever run of dance hit singles in the United Kingdom, with a record of 12 successive releases reaching the top 15 of the chart. The British group which is made up of Liam Howlett, Maxim, Keith Flint and Leeroy Thornhill debuted with Chary in August 1991 and its 12th entry, the controversially titled Smack My Bitch Up entered the chart in November 1997.
Keith: 'I don't know how to take that. ' Liam: 'I laugh. Especially when you see the little kids.
They never get the hair quite right. But there was a funny one the other day; people don't recognise me, which is cool, but they recognise Keith, and these people were saying, 'Look at him, he thinks he's the Firestarter! He thinks he's Prodigy Man!' ' Keith's devil like image was copied for a Lucozade advert.
When The Prodigy saw it they blamed lucozade for copying an image that they made for themselves and that lucozade was just doing it to make money. They played live with the Chemical Brothers, Moby, David Bowie, Rage Against The Machine, Sepultura, Dog Eat Dog, Suede and many more. The most famous DJ they toured with was probably DJ Paul Oakenfold from the UK.
'In November 1995 The Chemical Brothers play the Astoria Theatre in London. At this Astoria gig, during the encore, Keith Flint from the Prodigy jumps up on stage to dance, with a t shirt with the logo 'Occupation: mad bastard'. A few other from the crowd join in. However, in the climax of things, a power cable is kicked loose, and everything goes quite, and the music stops!
The Chems are not too bothered; 'because he's Keith from the Prodigy, and he can do whatever the fuck he likes' Tom would say afterwards. In December the Chems play their biggest gig yet, with the Prodigy, at the Brixton Academy, just before Christmas.' Was the hip-hop band that Liam Howlett was a member of, in the early 1990s. Some promotional copies like Jus' Coolin' by Cut 2 Kill are easy to find.
They sell for approx five Pounds Sterling on the market. This track is not written by Liam Howlett in any way though. There is one record released by Cut 2 Kill on which Liam Howlett worked. This record is Listen To The Basstone. It has been released in two forms: a promotional 12' and the normal 12'. The promo copy is easy to recognize since it comes in a Tam Tam promo sleeve and on the 12' itself it says that it is a promotional copy. The complete looks are different then the looks of the retail version.
On the promo copy it does not say who wrote which tunes on it, on the retail release it does though. The tracklisting of both the promo copy as the retail one are the same. It features three tracks being Listen To The Basstone twice, once the version with rap (on the A-side of the record) and an instrumental version, plus a tune called Talkin' Facts (these last two tunes are on the B-side). Talkin' Facts is not written by Liam, only Listen To The Basstone is.
Listen To The Basstone is the first Cut 2 Kill single ever released. Jus' Coolin' is the second single ever released, but it is not written by Liam at all and he has nothing to do with it either. Normal versions of this record sell for about $4 and the promo copy for maybe $8 or $10. As for the value of a Listen To The Basstone, it varies $15 to $200. The single is (not Charly as some fools may tell you, that's just their first CHART single!) with four tracks (What Evil Lurks, We're Gonna Rock, Android and the original (slow hip-hop) mix of Everybody In The Place), released only on 12 inch vinyl and there are only 7,000 genunine copies in existence! I'm lucky enough to own one after three years of searching in second-hand record shops!
The value could be anything of up to £200 to collectors. Some fake vinyls of What Evil Lurks have been going around. These usually have the word 'Androids' instead of 'Android' in the tracklisting. Record Collector magazine has recently re-valued original copies at £80. By the way, just because it's rare, it doesn't mean to say it's good, the What Evil Lurks tracks are pretty low-budget and cheap efforts which sound primitive compared to Liam's current offerings! Android is probably the best track, and has been seen on some CDs (some illegal!). (Fake album means it's said to contain Prodigy music, but it isn't) The Ultimate Jilted Experience Experience Revisited Inflicted Beware of any website telling you otherwise.
The first two albums were set up by a webmaster of an unofficial Prodigy site in order to look credible. The tracks have been identified as obvious hoaxes by many real Prodigy fans. The 'Inflicted' album was a hoax set up by Tobi Wood during the 'countdown' to The Fat Of The Land. Tobi was pissed off with having CD bootleg pirates ripping off his site, so he set about forging an album called Inflicted, which featured mostly real existing tracks, except for 'Salvationed Army', 'In The Beginning' and a fake 'Benny Blanco', composed (very well) by Tobi himself. Even the artwork (a briefcase full of drugs syringes) was fake. ' 'containing Prodigy songs with the 'Breathe' cover. Spice Girls: ”They’re pub cabaret singers who’ve been given a Richard & Judy makeover.
I’m surprised they’ve done so well as they have because, by and large, little boys aren’t interested in girls.” (Liam) Take That: ”Take That danced, they sang, they put on a fucking good show and towards the end of they’re career they became a credible pop group.” (Keith) Boyzone: ”The thing I really hate about Boyzone is that they’re so unnatural.20-year-old kids dressing in tweed suits because that’s what their manager tells ’em to do. And what’s with all thes covers?’ Words’ was crap 20 years ago, so why be crap with it again now?” (Keith). It's the studio besides Earthbound in which Liam recorded music (For example, five of the Jilted Generation tracks have been produced and mixed here) 'One of Jamie Reid's current projects is the Strongroom Studio, a London recording studio designed by Reid and decorated with silk-screened canvases, marble, etched bronze and slate.
Many of England's top musical acts, including the Chemical Brothers, Prodigy and even the Spice Girls, have worked within the acclaimed Strongroom. 'It is like turning all my painting ideas into architecture,' Reid said of the studio. 'Bands such as the Prodigy have been recording in that space for a long time now.
They've actually found what I've done there great inspiration to their music. Same as The Orb, The Orbital, The Chemical Brothers. Here is a quote from himself: 'If people ask me what actually inspires me to make music, it's late-early '70s funk and '80s hip-hop-B.T. Express, the Meters, the roots of hip-hop, the rare grooves the DJs used to spin. I love to spend hours in record stores listening to the original breaks. ' But it's important to note that what makes the Prodigy's music so diverse are the lots of music styles they have heard over the years, so funk and hip-hop aren't (obviously) the only styles that inspire them. Another quote from Liam: 'The thing about Prodigy is there's always scope for something else, and now there's scope for lyrics that actually mean something.
We were stuck in a position of coming from the dance scene and not needing lyrics to have too much weight. Now all of a sudden, we can write about stuff that's happened to us. It's somewhere we can go, maybe, with the new album-if there is another album. I've never seen politics as an important part of Prodigy, but personal experience and stuff like that. Enough's happened to us to write some fucking good lyrics!' (Note: it was said after May 1998). Officially their name refers to the first synthesizer used by Liam Howlett, as it was called.
Liam wrote the name of the Keyboard on a tape and gave it to Keith. Keith thought that this was the name of Liam's Dance Act and asked if he could join. But there’s another (possible) explanation for this: in English the word ”Prodigy” means ”wonder”, or somebody (especially a child) of marvelous talents ('child prodigy'). In this case, Prodigy refers to Liam – here’s what he said about it: ”When I first thought of the name, obviously I didn’t consider it could be four people. It was just me, faceless, in my bedroom, writing music: the prodigy.”. This is a frequent question, and causes much debate. The Prodigy don't really fit into just one category, since they are quite diverse, and have evolved over the course of their existence.
There's no word to describe what genres they have been through, or even the musical styles they have either created or fused together! Some might call it techno cause it uses more repetative loops and 4-beat type hooks. Of course coming out of the rave era, Prodigy has added their own breakbeat and tension to their music. It doesn't just contain elements from techno as defined in its explicit terms, which would describe Detroit traxx and such. Prodigy has always been known to take common elements from the present genre (rave in, the renaissance of electronic music usage in, and hard calculated beats in ) and taking it to its critical peak. In songs like Fire, Jericho, Your Love, etc, synth sounds may be heard that have been used before in old school rave, but haven't been used in such melodious context.
Some people would call it 'hard dance music'. Let's just say that they started up doing techno/rave anthems with hip-hip drumloops, but progressed from that, so that they now carry elements of ambient, hard-house, hip-hop, industrial, punk, acid-jazz, reggae, electro, gabba, heavy metal/rock, jungle and rap. Liam decision to have guitars in the music back in 1994 may have lost some of his original followers, but only the open-minded fans kept the faith, it also gained the Prodigy a larger alternative/indie following. Anyway there is no real explanation fro the style. We can only say like Liam did once 'It's just.Prodigy music!'
'We have never been a techno band' - Liam Howlett.' 'Electronica' was a phrase invented by some a guy in an office. And when we find out who that guy is.we're gonna slap him. ' - Liam Howlett, 1997 ”It just makes us laugh – electronica” - Leeroy Thornhill. Prodigy's music has been featured on to recent movies - (Full Throttle) and Event Horizon (Funky Shit).
A breif review on each movie - A life less ordinary is a movie based on a kidnapping of a rich girl. The story line gets hard to follow about half way through the movie. And you end up understanding less at the end of the movie then you did at the start. Full Throttle is played right after the two angels shoot up and old car (you gotta see the movie to understand) - Event Horizon - This space movie based in 2000 something is a gore filled trip to hell and back. Featuring that guy who played Dr.
Alan Grant in Jurassic Park as the crazy doctor who created a spaceship that can travel at light speed. The ship gets lost for 7 years, and is found orbiting neptune. A rescue crew goes to see if their are any survivors, and they eventually all go crazy and see visions of death and their greatest fears. All but a few die and the crazy dr pokes his own eyes out. Freaky movie. Funky Shit is featured at the end credits after the space doors shut and the words appear 'THE END'.
Other Prodigy songs have been used in films such as Matrix (Mindfields), Jackal (Poison), Hackers 1 + 2 (Voodoo People, One Love + some others), Spawn (One Man Army) Charlie's Angels (Smack My Bitch Up) The Saint (Voodoo People). For more info check. Mutant Dog (1996) was a video starred Keith Flint as a psychopathic newsreader, alongside Charlotte Coleman, who starred in Four Weddings And A Funeral. The film was also meant to feature 1996 live footage of the Prodigy from 'Breathe' tour at Brixton Academy. It also featured Boddingtons Bitter ad girl Melanie Sykes and Casualty's Lisa Coleman. The film was edited by Mark Reynolds, a former colleague of the band, who has videotaped many of their on-the-road-exploits and was responsible for the Prodigy long-form video, Electronic Punks, released with the band's approval.
This was meant to be the second Prodigy video compilation (just like Electronic Punks). The film never got released; The Prodigy weren't happy with their friend for doing it, so it never happened. They really fell out about it, the guy saying he was quite upset about the Prodigy letting him down. It was a very cheap low-budget affair, with deliberate product-placement 'sponsorship' from the likes of Death Cigarettes, etc.
' Reynolds claimed he originally had permission from Liam to release the film and that two stills of Leeroy and Liam from it even featured on the cover of the band's last LP, 'The Fat Of The Land'. Mark Reynolds: 'If you look in their photo book, The Fat Of The Land, there are five pictures that are credited to the film. I'd worked with them on it for 18 months. We'd had meetings at Liam's house.
I used a crew of 12 on the live stuff in Dublin so there's a lot of money at stake. I have a meeting planned with my lawyers.' 'I had problems with XL over Electronic Punks,' he said. 'They just wanted a straight promo package and I gave them something more unusual. I don't know why they're trying to stop it now but they won't succeed.
If it takes six months or six years, it will come out. ' Liam Howlett: 'During 1994 and 1995, Mark Reynolds spent a good deal of time with the band shooting footage which eventually formed part of the 1995 video, Electronic Punks.
Out of interest, we tentatively agreed to get involved with another of his projects but when we did the filming two years ago we felt uncomfortable and when we saw the results we didn't like them. 'As we understand it, Mark Reynolds has now incorporated that footage into a larger project which he's calling Mutant Dogs. The band feel that it is unfair to sell this to Prodigy fans on the basis of some sketchy footage. It doesn't come up to an acceptable standard.' Reynolds believed that it was the band's label XL, rather than the Prodigy themselves, behind the blocking.

Related articles Prodigy lawyers aim to block new movie. The Prodigy and Beastie Boys were involved in a war of words at the 1998 Reading Festival.
The Beastie Boys asked the Prodigy not to include in their set, claiming that it is offensive – but the Prodigy did play the song and Maxim shouted to the crowd: ”I do what the fuck I want.” Later the Beasties’ Ad Rock commented, ”From where I’m from, it isn’t cool.”. The strange thing is that Liam actually didn’t want to play at Reading in 1998 – because the whole band was tired (of touring) by the time the gig was held (”Reading was the only show I didn’t want to be. That show was just a joke.” – Liam) Speech from Reading: Maxim: Last night, we've received a call from one of the Beastie Boys. Crowd cheer Maxim: Wait a minute hear me out!
They didn’t want us to play this funckin' tune. But the way things go, I do what the fuck I want. Large cheer, 'Smack my bitch up' intro. Contrary to what you might think, the Prodigy and the Beastie Boys have buried the hatchet – at least both bands say this.
The B-boys have even let Liam use some of their tracks on his Mix Album -. Liam continued: ’ Whatever happened between me and Ad-Rock, there’s no respect lost as far as the music goes. I don’t think anything less of them as musicians over what they’ve done. And basically, if I’m making an old-skool record, it would be stupid of me to not have them on there.’ The Beasties’ Adam Yauch put their side: ’I think it all worked out fine. We just wanted to let the Prodigy know that we felt like that song had a real meaning, has a definite meaning with those lyrics. We were kinda more going to them saying, ’We’ve been through this and we feel weird about this stuff and we’d like to suggest or ask you guys not to play it.’ The band concluded they had decided to let the matter lie, though they still disagreed with the song’s content.
'(Take Me Away) Into the Night' became his second smash. Dutch DJ, remixer, and producer Carlo Resoort, aka 4 Strings, achieved his first British hit in 1999 with 'Turn It Around' by Alena. Formerly known as Taska, Topcat, Square, and Carlos, he chose the moniker of 4 Strings before releasing 'Day Time,' a club/dance song with lyrics by Rob Davis and performed by Arianne Schreiber.
(Source: NME) HATE OF 1998 REMEMBERED When Select Magazine did a round up of the legendary music festival moments, they had to include the Prodigy vs Beastie Boys spat from Reading 98! Yep, it's up there alongside Nirvana's 1992 gig at Reading, Robbie Williams onstage with Oasis at Glastonbury 1995 and Courtney Love losing her marbles at Reading 1994. Here's what the of Select have to say: 'PRODIGY VS THE BEASTIE BOYS: Reading 1998 On the evening before they were due to share a festival stage together, The Prodigy's Liam Howlett received an unusual phone call at his Essex home. Long-time idols Beastie Boys Adam Yauch and Mike D were asking him to cut his group's most recent single 'Smack My Bitch Up' from their forthcoming Reading set. The conversation proceeded affably enough with a general 'agree to disagree' conclusion being reached.
It was later revealed that the US rappers had even tried to stop The Prodigy sharing the same Reading bill. Indeed, with the Beasties demanding a say over their fellow performers, The Prodge were only at Reading because of the cancellation of the Phoenix Festival and subsequent combining of the two bills. With the Beasties going on record against the performance afterwards, a transatlantic rivalry had quickly fomented. During the subsequent publicity, many sided aginst the Beasties for their seemingly sanctimonious attempt at censoring fellow performers. From being reviled as misogynistic cretins hiding behind bogus notions of 'street' authenticity, The Prodigy now found themselves cast as free speech crusaders. The Beasties, meanwhile - thanks to memories of early lyrics and shows liberally scattered with rampant sexism - were now officially Grade A hypocrites.
'During that whole Reading thing,' says Liam Howlett, 'the Beastie Boys really let themselves down. They think they have the power to come over to England and the tell a band not to play one of their songs - it's pathetic.
I know a lot of people got offended by 'Smack My Bitch Up', but that wasn't my intention. It's just an old-skool phrase meaning to 'sort something out'. I still find it hard to exactly what it means, but in my head it didn't mean what other people took it as.'
'I always used to like the Beastie Boys because they stood against all that American crap, but when I spoke to them they just seemed to be full of all that self-improvement, learning-to-be-a-better-person type of bullshit. I mean, you know, I think I'm intelligent enough to look at those early Beastie Boys records and see the tongue-in-cheek humour.' The Beasties later responded to these accusations by actually drawing attention to their past experiences of seeing ironically intended lyrics taken at face value. Adam Horovitz said: 'You know, a woman in America gets murdered every 20 minutes every day, in domestic violence. So 'Smack My Bitch Up' isn't that funny'. In conclusion, The Reading Incident was only a 'War Of Words'. Here is a summary of what the parts said: Beastie Boys: We’ve been through this and we feel weird about this stuff and we’d like to suggest or ask you guys not to play that song’, right before we go onstage.
The Prodigy: Well you can’t tell us what to do. Beastie Boys: We don’t mean to be preacing to you, we’re just saying. The Prodigy: That’s not what the song actually means. The lyrics don’t mean what you think they mean and we’ve been explaining that to the press for a long time.
Beastie Boys: To us they had a definite meaning. And I’m sure that irrespective of each other, those words have that same meaning to a lot of people.
Maxim: I DO WHAT THE FUCK I WANT. Related articles Yauch Defends Reading Face-off Beastie Boys Battle Prodigy Over 'Smack My Bitch Up'. Liam Howlett has recorded a collaboration track with Massive Attack's 3D. The pair met and hit it off at the Mount Fuji Rock festival in Japan 1997. 3D has said following about the song: 'Liam and I had been talking about doing something together for about a year and then we did a track each for a porn film called ‘The Uranus Experiment’.
Liam knew Alex Garland who wrote ‘The Beach’ and Liam suggested that he did the music and I wrote some lyrics for a song to go on the film’s soundtrack. The track is called ‘ No Souvenirs’ and is slightly Pink Floyd; slightly Beach Boys in places; full-on dark but very musical with some great arrangements. But in the end, we felt it wasn’t appropriate for the soundtrack album.
The rest of the album was too dance and pop-orientated so we pulled it. It might end up as a track on the next Prodigy album.' The Beach is based on Alex Garland's best selling novel of the same name. The Carling weekend festivals in Leeds was the last Prodigy show in the original Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned era (2001-2002) before the the band scrapped all the material to return in mid 2004 with the actual release of AONO. The Carling festival weekend had the band return with a whole new stage look and outfits and played a very interesting set that stands as an interesting show with many rarities such as 'Back to Skool' intro and a cover of 'Nightboat to Cairo' by Madness and other two unreleased tracks named 'Trigger' and 'Nuclear'. The set also featured a performance of recently released single 'Babys got a Temper' 'Nuclear' was meant to be released as a follow up single to BGAT in late 2002. Parts of this song were rumoured to be used in the track 'Action Radar' from AONO.
