Never Liam said that he want to collab with two guys - Keith and Maxim. Sorry but skrillex is making commercial, poor and weak music for teenagers so no collab.


I don't like this new video because there is Smack My Bitch Up again and again and again... boring... And overall video is not so cool like previous videos. This untitled track at the begining sounds interesting but I think it's a demo or something

its probably a demo or unfinished leftover from liams studio.

"Sorry but skrillex is making commercial, poor and weak music for teenagers so no collab."

Uh, and The Prodigy never made commercial music for teenagers???
Is this a serious statement?

The Prodigy woudn't be anywhere if they didn't make commercial music for teenagers. Now the hate for Skrillex is passing the absurd level. And that comment alone takes the cake.

Almost as childish as the guy complaining about Skrillex's babyface.

Go listen to Psy, apparently real shit music like his gets a pass on these boards. Frigging unreal how low this place is sinking.


The boys love and respect what he is doing and said it perfectly about how he was the first choice because of the meeting of generations at WDF. The hate for him seems more to be about his appearance than his music with some people on here, which is a bigger joke...

because you know, The Prodigy were never about looking alternative and outlandish, right?

they make underground music for adults in their forties apparently
high brow big beats and big dumb lyrics for all those forty somethings in the market

i like how people label something if there not into it as shit, i like some of skrillex's stuff not mad on him or owt i look at the muisc making side of it and make my judgement from there, now that psy gangnam stlye or whatever the fuck its called is a poor record, its just cheesy party music made for the masses who have no taste and like being told whats cool to listen to by the radio now thats shit coming from all angles

Yes, this is serious statement. For me The Prodigy is commercial by playing at festivals, and they are known but they are not commercial by music. As i said before, their music is unique, different. Also there is no artist who is making the same or simillar music. And Skrillex? This pimpled boy is doing what 90% of the world is doing - boring, commercial, shitty, non creative electronic music but this is also what I've said before many... many times. I know that You like him and his music and it's ok mate because this is your choice and your taste of music but do not write such nonsense about The Prodigy, and do not compare Skrillex to their level and please Neorev, stop defending him.

No offense

the point is Skrillex did his thing first and people started copying it because it was popular. go back to the mid-90's, plenty of the electronic bands tried to copy The Prodigy sound during that time... Junkie XL's "Dealing With The Roster"???

when it comes to commercial music, The Prodigy are just as commercial. In movies, in tv ads, on the radio, so I don't understand that.

i'm not even that big of a Skrillex fan to be honest. i'm going by you saying that he is commercial music for teenagers which is exactly what The Prodigy are... whether you like to hear that or not, but it's the truth. The younger generation is what keeps the electronic music going and eat up music. the biased and uncalled for hatred is what bothers me more.

no one is saying that Skrillex is making classic electronic tracks like The Prodigy, he's still very early in his career as an electronic artist.

but to try and make The Prodigy like their some sorta underground band is kinda a joke. they've been in the top of the mainstream charts since Charly making bass driven, cartoon-eque electronic music with high pitched up vocals and piano breaks... sound familiar?

sure, you may not like his music and that's fine...
but you can't deny facts, just as The Prodigy polarized the electronic scene, Skrillex has down so now. this is about what he has done to the electronic music scene and he put it into the spotlight just like The Prodigy did in the 90's by making energetic electronic dance music. whether his tracks will stand the test of time, that's a whole other story.

the problem is people take me as some sorta Skrillex fan, when i think he is alright. i'm not trying to convince you to like him. but to close your eyes and cover your ears to what he has done in the grand spectrum of things is silly. i'm a fan of electronic music since i was in the 4th grade. when i discuss him, i'm talking about what he has done for electronic music and the scene in general.

sure you may not like him, but don't try and act like The Prodigy are above him when it comes to being a mainstream electronic act. Sure there music is quite different, but when it comes to cultural status they are the same.

and the hatred for Skrillex seems to be more about how he looks, his ignorant fanboys, and all the shitty artists copying what he has created more than Skrillex himself.

is he better than The Prodigy? hell fucking no

but that doesn't change his impact on the entire electronic music culture. i can't deny and shut my mind to that.

it's like, am i a Beatles fan? not really
do i hunt down hearing some of their music? nope

but do i not respect the impact that they have had on music in general...

of course i can't deny that... it's a cultural phenomenon

people love it...
people just accept it...
people shut their ears and call it the devil's music

"Music - a combination of sounds with a view to beauty of form and expression of emotion.", sorry but dubstep shit don't deliver this

ahhhhhhhhhhh.... this brings back some good memories from pre invaders must die times.. when the prodigy expressed their love to a band called "justice" and many of the forum users started bashing justice for being boring and nothing special and it will ruin the prodigy if they take influence from them, yet they released invader must die and it was/is amazing and nothing like justice. the same goes with skrillex. the boys like him.. if you don't like him just fuck off. don't pollute the forum with your silly shenanigans of what's right and what's wrong. your arguments are sooooo tired and pointless..

i just wanna see Skrillex name attached to a Prodigy track...
not because i like him...

just because that's when the hangings will begin

Demo on the intro sounds cool.

Lets all ignore the who likes and doesnt like a certain type of subgenre of electronic music and the artists who make it from now on, its making this forum very dull.

great job guys!!! 24h sample recognition

Good ol Duggers

Good ol Harbinger , always brings the useful info

Respect to our legend , Dugdale , what a cool guy he is , top man

When you repeat something over and over again you loose the "view to beauty..." so the problem is not "Dubstep" caz there are a few good tunes out there..
The problem is that some "artists" (considered as top notch of the scene) are REPETTITIVE AS FUCK and their admirers do the same.
They deny to change their sound-design and the track-structure.
They are practically "trolling" their own fans

Artists who act like this most of the times they disappear the same way they appear in the electronic scene..like a flare.
I believe that Skrillex is one of them.

i agree with you Darkwave
Skrillex has yet to prove he can be a mainstay in the scene
i think he needs to develop into new territories further
his sound is quite repetitive

like i said, i'm not talking about his music in general...
just his explosion of success and making dance music even more popular to a wide range of people.

it's nothing to do about the actual music, just the impact he has had on the scene

over here in America, electronic music wasn't in the mainstream until The Prodigy came out with "Firestarter" and the whole mid to late 90's "electronica" explosion. Prodigy were being played on the radio along popular radio friendly dance and rock music.

the same as happened over here with Skrillex, which is all that i was trying to say. not that he is making music as good and as long lasting as The Prodigy.

this article gets into how electronic music has kicked in again in the 2000s...
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/au ... ed-america

electronic music was kinda looked down upon in the mainstream up until The Prodigy came about over here. but it didn't really fully catch over here and faded after a few years. but Skrillex's worldwide success reignited the whole love for electronic music. once again it's not scoffed at and looked down upon, which is what makes me happy. because the music scene here was quite shit and you really had to dig for proper electronic music. now there's a boom of great electronic music all over the place.

so when people just label me a Skrillex fanboy, it can be annoying
i'm an electronic music fanboy

and just because you don't like something doesn't mean you can't recognize it's cultural impact

do i respect Skrillex for causing all these copycats to come along making the same sounding music? hell fucking no, it's getting boring

but i can respect him for bringing electronic music back into the spotlight and for a surge of new artists, not necessarily dubstep artists, having the chance to get out there.

Generic dubstep has become quite stale... but there has been a large amount of offshoots of really good bass music from all forms that has come along since this explosion.
