The Prodigy are an English electronic dance music group from
Braintree, Essex, formed in 1990 by keyboardist and songwriter Liam Howlett. Along

They earned titles like "the premiere dance act for the alternative
masses" and "the Godfathers of Rave” and remain one of the most
successful electronic acts of all time. They have sold an estimated 30 million
records worldwide, and won numerous music awards during their career, including
two Brit Awards for Best British Dance Act, three MTV Video Music Awards, two
