This week’s New Music Monday comes from the legendary British group, The Prodigy. Last week’s new release, No Tourists, rings clear with tastes of the glory of the double platinum classic album, Fat of the Land. One of our favorite cracks from the album, Boom Boom Tap, samples Andy Milonakis from a rambling about being sober over dark and gleeful bass lines (from the soundtrack from Devil) and dnb kicks. It’s fat and juicy, and makes us wax some serious nostalgia. It’s Monday, let’s wreck shit!
If you haven’t checked out the rest of No Tourists yet, you seriously should. It’s a mish mosh of the classic sound, but some might say that the team hasn’t sold out and dabbled into EDM like some of their other contemporaries. It’s a reminder of the big beat glory that put the sound on the map, and helped bring dance music to popular culture in the 90s. We’re happy to have some new tracks of that classic big beat that still manages to hold up today.
