The Prodigy Fanboy – Liam Howlett Keith Flint & Maxim Reality.

Greatest Dance Act of All Time

So proud of the boys to receive this. They truly deserved it, nobody will ever come close to The Prodigy. We all always knew they were the best. Now it’s official by MIXMAG’s poll, voted by the people! Good to see them get the recognition!

The results are in! From September to December last year, you voted in your tens of thousands to decide who was the greatest dance act of all time.

The poll was embraced by fans from Birmingham to Buenos Aires – acts campaigned fiercely, heated debate ensued and all of our expectations were exceeded by your response to the poll.

And now the wait is over. Below is a list of your top twenty greatest dance acts of all time, including the all important winner.

In a closely run battle, we can now reveal that The Prodigy have emerged victorious, pipping robotic legends, Daft Punk, into second place by a very tight margin.

Keith Flint of The Prodigy commented: “To walk off a stage and feel like we smashed it – that’s the reward for us, to see the crowd react and know we’ve done what we’ve come to do. But something like this is truly voted for by the people – and essentially we are nothing without them, so it feels awesome and really respectful.”

All at Mixmag offer congratulations to The Prodigy, an act who have managed to stay as exciting as ever, over two decades on from their first gig.

The Prodigy Experience

Hello fello Fanboys, got a great article written up by Chris Swindells from Virtual Festivals website.

Great read about Experience and so on. Thanks to Michael Botzaropoulos for the heads-up via Fanboy Contact.

The rave scene was a rabid epidemic, running unabated and wild in the summer of 1991. This free party outbreak spread with a ferocity of typhoid fever, stretching from satellite sites around the capital, infecting crowds of 50,000 or more in one night.
Back then The Prodigy were a innocent, fresh-faced four-piece, their foray into the crossover ‘rave n rock’ sound – inspired by what key man Liam Howlett saw as the Rage Against The Machine live model – were still not visible on the horizon.

Whether Howlett’s vision or the rave came first, his debut album with The Prodigy would set the fundamental building blocks for the band’s sound: breakbeat hardcore, with slabs of techno, dub-reggae and the then emerging sound of drum and bass, which became the blueprint for more than two decades of musical reverence and electric, ear-splitting live shows.

Keith Flint - Graham

Keith Flint is the new friend of GRAHAM. Frontman of The Prodigy group and endurance motorbike racer.

The Prodigy has sold more than 25 million records worldwide in 21 years of existence. With a dozen consecutive singles which reached the top of British and American charts, the band is a legend in the electronic music movement.

Incendiary, eccentric, disruptive, well-known for his numerous tattoos & body piercing and spiky hair, Keith is a passionate and true artist.
Live performer, Keith is also mad motorcyclist. With his team, Team Traction Control, Keith races round some of the most prestigious circuits showing the same grit and determination as on stage.
He is a big GRAHAM supporter. British, bold and gutsy GRAHAM’s Chronofighter Oversize Diver Deep Black has been created to fit Keith. We are more than proud to welcome him among our fans.

Mind detonator, Keith breathes adrenaline…a good omen for a prolific relationship with GRAHAM.
