Happy Birthday Liam Howlett! – Turns 39

Liam Howlett turns 39!

Liam Howlett turns 39!

Master H is 39 years old today! Happy Birthday Liam! Dame he’s getting old :P Haha. Anyway, on behalf of all of the Fanboy Community we wish you all the best, hope you have a great birthday! We love you!! We know you visit our website mate ;) Oh and my bad on the image, my PhotoShop skills are hopeless!

Here’s some information on Master H: (source: Wikipedia)

Early Life: Howlett was born in Braintree, Essex. He was trained in classical piano  from childhood. At the age of 14, he mixed songs recorded from the radio using the pause button on his cassette player. He was first influenced by hip-hop music and culture when he began to attend school at Alec Hunter Humanities College in Braintree. He learned breakdancing alongside his crew called The Pure City Breakers, and DJed in his first band Cut 2 Kill before starting to write his own music.
He became connected to rave music and he reportedly went to his first rave in 1989.

The Prodigy: On weekends, he went to all the raves and when the clubs closed down in the early morning those ravers went on to party on the beach while Liam played a compilation of the latest rave tracks out of a van. One day, Keith Flint  approached him and asked whether Liam could do some mixes for him. When Liam had done the mixes he would pass it to Keith. One night, when Keith and Leeroy Thornhill were returning from a rave, they flipped Liam’s tape onto side B (which was titled “the prodigy” in reference to the Moog synthesizer  used) to find some of Liam’s own tracks on it and got completely hooked. They decided to approach Liam and ask him if he wanted to play on stage with Keith and Leeroy dancing at the front of the stage. Liam agreed, and The Prodigy was born. The Prodigy name came from a synthesizer called a Moog Prodigy  which Liam used in his tracks. Howlett signed to leading UK rave label XL Recordings on the strength of several tracks played to XL boss Nick Halkes and in 1991 the debut Prodigy single was released.
Liam used to purchase records from a record shop owned by Tim Palmer, although Liam did not know this prior to the XL meeting. The shop was mainly staffed by Tim Palmer’s mother. Liam and his friends would travel into London, where the shop was located, and ask for the most underground of dance tracks, the ones only a dedicated specialist dance DJ would know of, simply to test Tim Palmer’s mother. Time after time they would be amazed as she acknowledged the track and handed it over for them to listen to.

Other Musical Projects: In 1998, Liam was offered the chance to do a mix for Mary Anne Hobbs’ radio show. He dug out some of his old favourite tracks again and this prompted him to release an edited (due to some copyright issues) version of the mix in February, 1999. It was the first material which was recorded in his new home studio “The Dirtchamber”, so accordingly the album was to be called Prodigy presents Dirtchamber Sessions Volume 1.
In the end of January 2006, a compilation album titled Back to Mine: Liam Prodigy was released. It was a collection of Howlett’s favorite tunes, including an exclusive Prodigy track called “Wake the Fuck Up”, which is often performed as an intro in The Prodigy’s live concerts.

Howlett was a co-producer on the track “Immunize” from Anglo-Australian drum and bass act Pendulum’s third album Immersion, which was released in 2010.

Personal Life: On 6 June 2002 Howlett married All Saints’ Natalie Appleton. Their son, Ace Billy, was born on 2 March 2004. In his spare time, Howlett is fond of snowboarding. He’s a big fan of horror films. Many of his tracks contain samples from films.

It’s Birthday time!

Our man Keith Flint turns 40 years younger today!

It’s amazing at his age that he is the same insane person we knew many years ago. Also the fact that he still can rock out on stage is great!

Happy Birthday Flinty :)
