Prodigy Presents: Dirtchamber Sessions Vol.1

Product Information

And even sort of putting the Sex Pistols in, those are just records I really like. I don’t have to sort of try and be a dance DJ, you know, you’ve got the Chemicals and Fat Boy Slim doing that stuff. So I felt that, what I’m about, what music I do actually like, you know, is really old school hip-hop, punk and the breaks. The type of people that will buy this record will be the people that want to know what goes on inside my head when I’m in the studio writing the music, and so that’s basically the whole idea behind it, you know.” I don’t think we’ve ever been accused of that. I think we’ve always had our own style, and the thing I’m most proud of with this band is kind of, there seems to be this kind of path that most bands seem to follow. It’s a sort of road through doing certain interviews, going on TV, and it’s a sort of road to stardom, or whatever stardom is, and we haven’t followed any of those. We’ve done our own thing and chose our own path, and that’s something we’re most proud of …” Truth be told, I didn't expect it to be this great. And I'm an absolute megafan, probably in the top Prodigy fans alive.

Rate/Catalog

Darth Fader and Scarecrow Willy, " Toasted Marshmallow Feet Braxe" (1995) (Drum Loop) (uncredited) (1995) Dirtchamber' may be not be cutting-edge but it's a mix full of nooks and crannies and one you'll want to play long after Norman Cook's 'Live From The Floor Of The Boutique' has given you a migraine. It's also accessible to those without PhDs in Bronx street culture. It seems Liam Howlett has made himself understood once and for all.
