The cult album of The Prodigy turned 30 years old

At the end of September 1992, the legendary British band's debut album The Prodigy Experience was released.


Co-founder and producer of The Prodigy, Liam Howlett is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the album that defined a generation. In a big interview for the BBC, he reflected on one of the most innovative electronic albums, the very beginning of his career, and the scene from the beginning of the 90s.

"The album was influenced by the scene at that time. Everything was fresh, rebellious. We went to warehouse raves that would last until the police stopped us and chased us away." pointed out the main songwriter of The Prodigy.

At the time of its release, the album peaked at number 12 on the UK Albums Chart. The production of the album itself was done from the home studio of Liam Howlett, who was only 19 years old at the time.

The debut album of The Prodigy consisted of 12 songs in the original edition, and the expanded editions contained up to 25 songs. At the time, The Prodigy consisted of three members, with only Maxim Reality helping with the production when he provided vocals for the last track on the album.

When choosing the sound for the album, the DJs he was listening to at the time were important, Liam Howlett mentioned and added, 

“The breakbeat rave sound was a big phenomenon in East London. Everything was born from there. The pirate radio stations in our area that we listened to played it. It sounded so original and all the producers wanted to do it. Much like when the freestyle sound spread in Brooklyn or dubstep in Croydon.”

Songs from Experience found their way into the sets of Carl Cox, Moby, Tim Westwood and many other prominent DJs from the early 90s. Tracks like "Jericho", "Out of Space", "Charly" and "Everybody In The Place" are written in the annals of electronic music.

Movie - "Free Tekno" - world travelers who organize illegal parties in the forests

Free Tekno is a journey into the true underground of illegal underground techno festivals in Central Europe. The director travels with a group of Dutch and Irish young men who organize  illegal rave parties  in the forests of  Germany  and the  Czech  Republic. This is called the  underground   that is often written or referred to, but we rarely see it. As one interviewee puts it:   "We don't want money to profit, we do this out of love and be at a positive zero; if we make money, we use the money for travel or vacation expenses." "How many  parties  like this are made in which we are at all times exposed to the police shutting down music and confiscating equipment, but when you live for  electronic  music and have  enthusiasm , you do not think about blue caps" -  a director with Gunnar Hauth.

Tillt Radio Record Store, Prishtina, Kosovo

Tillt Radio  is a new record store in Prishtina, opened 1 year ago. Located at BOHO in Prishtina's square, Tillt Radio record store is a very  warm place  where you can go  hang out , dig the crates for  vinyls  and enjoy  listening to music.  A while ago, I took a trip to Prishtina to meet a friend and surprise her with a vinyl from her favorite label, Klockworks I got for her birthday. That day was all about music and vinyls so, while i was there, i decided to go and visit Tillt Radio record store. I was very happy and excited for visiting the first record store in my life . I've bought vinyls before, from online record stores, but crate digging for vinyls, is a different feeling. There's nothing like crate digging! We needed a record store like Tillt Radio. I went there around 4 PM. I met Strella. He informed me about his record store and the genres he provides. There were various genres from pop, rock, blues to old electronic music. You can find some of the best
