OUTTA BODY EXPERIENCE😵‍💫🤯🔥 | Americans React to The Prodigy - Out Of Space

[@danielbackshell6936]

Late 80s early 90s and the illegal raves around the M25 motorway in London😁 I'm 52 now and the whole acid house scene brought nothing but love to 20,000 strangers dancing together in a field ❤🇬🇧

[@telmack7838]

Bro, takes me back!! Early 90s around the south east for me as a born and bred Hampshire hog was the nuts! Pills shrooms whatever we could get would go down the neck in an instant, I still sit and wonder how we did it and why kids don't today? Not that I would condone my children doing what we did, as yes they go raving as they call it but I sit and chuckle to myself as these youngsters today don't understand the word, culture or lifestyle of a real raver. Covered in shit at early hours off my tits back then is a far cry from them now. My daughter spends a good £50 just on an outfit to go "raving" in Leeds, and wouldn't dare think of getting messy, the youth of today ay pal One love brother and may the rave continue in my head and the distant thoughts and good times memories live on forever until I die x❤

[@SRFCOFFICIAL99]

@@telmack7838as someone in my mid twenties, I believe there’s a few factors. Social media and phones is obviously a massive one. If someone is off their face everyone will be quick to record and post on TikTok, so people don’t like to get messy. Money and cost of living as well. With the stagnation of wages in the uk job market, many people are stuck working for minimum wage or in a skilled profession for a little over minimum wage. With the current COL many people cannot afford move out and go out every weekend as they often have second jobs just to keep themselves afloat. I think big commercial raves like WHP Manchester are successful because people travel from all over the country and go as an occasional treat, rather than going out locally every weekend

The sample is from a song by Max Romeo called Chase The Devil. Max was screwed by his record company and even after having number 1 records in Jamaica was homeless and destitute. Nearly 20yrs later Liam comes across the track and his story and after the success of their second album the Prodigy bought Max Romeo a beautiful new home. Check the interview footage, Max Romeo is a VERY big fan of The Prodigy 😁

"Breakbeat" Hardcore (which is what this is, but was usually just called Hardcore or Rave) started around 1990, and developed by fusing Acid House with Belgian New Beat and Techno, breaks from Hip-Hop and Funk, strings and piano lines from Classical music, and the synths from Ambient, Berlin School, New Age etc. You should check out the first two Prodigy albums - Experience and Music for the Jilted Generation. Also Ratpacks "One Step Beyond" set from Fantazia in 1992 for examples. Jungle came around from the introduction of the Jamacian Reggae/Dub soundsystem into Hardcore around 1992-1993 - originally it was called "Jungle Techno" which over time just became "Jungle." Jungle got "purified" and stripped of a lot of it's Ragga influence over time and became what is now Drum and Bass (around 1995.)

Huge follower of The Prodigy since 1990. Their music revolutionised the dance/rave scene globally. There are one of the only collectives to evolve from the scene into a band and still perform around the world. They appeal to those who like rock music who were closet ravers. Their productions are insane and if you have not seen them live it's a band you've got to see before you die. Check out some of their live shows.

[@jdeigh99]

Breakbeat/hardcore (rave scene) - morphed into Jungle with heavy Jamaican influences. This then influenced the DnB scene coming out of London / Bristol with a more polished and sophisticated sound.

I’m pretty sure this stuff came before drum and bass. The Prodigy were part of the UK rave scene, and in my view they absolutely perfected it on their first album. They kept innovating and they genuinely don’t have a bad album. The Fat of the Land is exceptional. Drugs are genuinely not required, although I’m pretty sure there was a bit of that going on in the 90s. Fat Boy Slim’s You’ve Come A Long Way Baby is a nice bit of work too.

This is early 90s hardcore with a jungle influence. Drum n bass came later evolving out of the jungle scene.

[@1CKay]

The 90’s was a wild decade and one that will never be repeated. This is now classed as ‘Old Skool Hardcore’, but back in 1992 it was just called Hardcore. When the hardcore scene split In 93/94 it birthed Happy Hardcore, and Jungle which the evolved into Drum n Bass. The 1991/1992 Hardcore Rave rabbit hole is a whole other thing entirely and you will find some amazing but absolutely wild records if you do. The Profigy leaned to the more commercial side, but they never sold out and they stuck to their roots as they progressed through the 90’s

[@neilpearce]

The XTC kept us alive, especially the 'Love Doves' 🤣😇 Anyway, it started with Acid House, then 'Rave', which turned into 'Happy Hardcore' and then Jungle, which turned into Drum & Base. By then we're looking at around the mid 90's.

Great channel boys - to clarify, Prodigy initially were hardcore c. '91 - '93' (130/140 bpm), which came well before drum & bass c. 96 - 98 proper D&B - but still ongoing (160/180 bpm).

[@pickleperryemz]

DnB was later, Roni Size - brown paper bag was 1997, I believe Out of space was 1994. Vintage Bristol vs vintage Essex boyz!

[@SamThredder]

out of space was 1992 on the first album 'experience'. second album 'music for the jilted generation' came out in 94

[@rogershore7189]

DnB was around way before Brown Paper Bag too. Nasty habits - Shadow boxing, Deep Blue - Helicopter, Origin Unknown - Valley Of The Shadows, LTJ Bukem - Horizons, Roni Size - It’s A Jazz Thing…

Smack my tricks up was banned in england, went straight to number one. 🤔

[@thombt963]

Loved the 90’s so much, really miss that time lol 😂

[@TheMixCurator]

This came out before Drum and Bass. Jungle was around, but the hardcore style which Oyt of Space and all of the first LP (The Prodigy Experience) had. Believe this came out in 1991. Gilted Generation was out 93/94 and Fat of the Land was out in 97, if my memory serves me correctly (i bought the first Prodigy LP in 91 as a very young teen)

[@codenamenel]

@@TheMixCurator didn't come out before drum and bass at all, this was 92, there was loads of jungle and drum and bass out before it

[@ness-ee]

Drum and Bass wasn’t around until the hardware to make the tunes changed in 95.

I seen the Prodigy before they really were THE Prodigy....Used to get map co-ordinates for raves when I lived in London from 1987-1990... You would stand by a phone box and get map co-ordinates for the Rave... you would then work out a route and pay someone to trail you and stop half way up a single lane road because the Police constantly followed us...they would block the police cars (unmarked hahahahaha). I seen the Prodigy a few times this way...best was a broken into Warehouse around Chelsea Reach at Battersea Bridge.

[@wardup74]

The scene in the uk evolved rapidity. We went from hardcore which i class this as to jungle dnb quickly. Prodigy were more crossover to the mainstream friendly. There were so many better examples of hardcore,dnb check out dance conspiracys dub wars or some justice by urban shakedown. And for dnb try dj crystals meditation. Those tunes will give u a real essence of the scene back then. Bedroom pioneers shaping music for real

[@rwnet1]

Some Justice 🙂🙃

[@wardup74]

Big tune. Couldn't believe it when I first heard it. That bass drop wrecked many car speakers

Facts. I'm glad I was there. Still raving now....mainly to DnB and new school jungle!

[@steferguson3241]

Saw The Prodigy in Manchester UK just before Christmas and even though lots of their songs are from decades ago the live show is just as good as its ever been. You should definitely get to one if you can, people of all ages just having a good time

[@djee475]

We survived the drugs bc we quit while we were ahead I feel😅 As a 43y old looking back, there's no way I could be still pulling the same stuff I did back then 😅 My list of drugs is as long as the night was

[@eleanorfosdike8649]

House came out first. But these times - where 👌. Saw these guys at a warehouse with thousands of same minded people

[@mstmy7082]

Prodigy are the dogs danglers!

[@timbonfield3589]

Music For The Jilted Generation and Fat Of The Land both still sound so fresh 30 years on, this is the sound of the working class's in the mid 90s #RIPKeithFlint

[@timbonfield3589]

Worth noting they also released one of the greatest FU albums with Invaders Must Die in the late 2000's, saw other groups such as Pendulem releasing straight up 90s Prodigy style tracks and literally went harder/faster and more angry just to blow them out the water and remind them who were the daddys!!!!!

[@perthanality]

My very first rave, in the 90s, my friend got sick pretty early on in the night, not drug related ;) so i took her home. After dropping her off, i came to an intersection and it was either turn right and go home, or turn left and go back to the dance party. As i was deciding this tune came on the radio in my car, i chose left and the rest is history. Ive always credited this track for getting me into dance music because of that moment. Hahaha

[@tonybennett1306]

I agree with others here. Late 80's and early 90's was really the pinnacle of madness and illegal raves and it was great. After that it sub divided more and more into many different styles and much more organised raves. Don't get me wrong. I loved the mid 90's acid techno and pretty much everything else going, but it never repeated the heady earlier days for pure adrenalin and excitement ❤🎉

6:15 Liam howlett came from the bboy scene, not the acid house scene. That's why the prodigy is all sampled hip hop, reggae, dub and Northern soul. That's why it sounds different

[@Dugiesrevenge]

The prodigy were doing it before raves compartmentalised into specific genres, it was just rave music and the prodigy did stuff that with later eyes was lots of different sub classes of EDM

[@HeyLaserLips]

The ostrich thing is a reference to a time when Kieth was driving home on a motorway one night and was a little under the influence, shall we say, and he saw an ostrich running in the lane next to him, matching his speed. 😂

[@mikeevans1585]

this was in the height of the rave scene in the 90's..such a good time..and yes...some d rugs was used lol

Yeah.. just a few.😅

Apparently, the boys were out in their car (probably tripping balls). When a group of ostriches, which had escaped (probably emus) and ran out in front of the car. And that's why they have the ostriches in the video. It'd be interesting if anyone here could confirm it.

I'll just say that I'm the perfect age to say that we enjoyed ourselves and look back fondly at those times now we're all 50 ish 🥰

[@heffegrande]

Im so sorry you missed it. The 90s was a great decade for music,and i mean all genres. I feel extremely lucky to been a part of this music scene from the early 90s until now at 54 years old. Glad to see you 2 enjoying this.

[@igemm78]

The prodigy were/are amazing....I listened to them growing up and still do now at 46 years old! Jherico, charly says, weather experience, smack my bitch up, voodoo people the list goes on and on! Cant think of a single track I didnt/dont like....they were indeed before drum and bass, and in many ways carved a path for many of the more current genres.

[@joda6466]

You boys are proper ravers. Check out stay up forever, hydraulix, the liberators, d.a.v.e the drummer, shamen, sicknote, vandal, check the Bristol rave scene you will NOT be disappointed ☺️
