Nice to see a thread on this.
Kromestar and Rusko have both sampled Prodigy tunes to great effect (Spaceman & Jahova). I've always loved their stuff since The Experience days, if it wasn't for them I'd still be into indie-rock.
Big-up the Prodigy - they took the rave to the stage without turning it into a puppet show. Quality production levels and good live performers too.

Dubstep seems to be the new thing right now. It’s really exciting—seeing these drum ‘n’ bass guys bring their tracks down to slower tempos. That’s fresh again, man.
laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
what? as if Liam Howlett said this..... weak.

Thought that was an old reggae track that Prodigy sampled too. Like, same original source, or did Rusko sample Prodigy's sampling of the track??
Edit: I'm sure DJ Cam's sampled it too.

You're probably right - where does it all end? (or begin).
Just listening to your tracks now BTW - sounding nice and deep sir. I'll play them on the show so let me know if there's a commercial outlet for them and I'll tell people where they can go to make a purchase (unless you're already a millionaire and you do this out of the kindness of your heart, if you are then thanks and well done). If you've still got stuff coming out on insectmind soon I'll mention that too.

Wasn’t there a considerable controversy in the ’90s over Moby putting his face out there more, since the British rave scene was a faceless movement overall?
Which particular era of Moby?
Around the time of Everything is Wrong.
Yeah, that didn’t go over very well; it didn’t wash with people like us. We’re all guilty of putting our songs in films and adverts but there’s a level of integrity you need to keep. I’m not sure there was an actual controversy over Moby, though. If anything, Moby’s always tried to do something different, to branch out and change what he’s doing all the time. He’s riding on the more commercial end of dance music, though, so I’d love to hear him go back to the underground at some point.
??????? So moby went commercial while prodigy were keeping it real???
Yeah, I mean some of his songs were so pivotal in the development of dance music.
After you’ve been through that kind of success, it’s all about what you want out of music. Your goals and boundaries change. Like with us, I don’t want our music to be just in the underground. I listen to underground music, but I want a record that’s big and can be played at festivals because that’s what we’re about. The Prodigy is for the masses
ahhh phew - so glad hes contradicting himself.. was getting worried!
