The Prodigy are a British hardcore dance/electro band consisting of vocalist Keith Flint, MC Maxim Reality and DJ and multi-instrumentalist Liam Howlett.

Formed in 1990, The Prodigy self-released a demo tape in February 1991. They sent this to a number of record companies and were soon signed to XL Recordings, who released a track from the demo call What Evil Lurks as the group’s first single. They immediately entered the studio to record new material and released their debut album Experience in September 1992. Containing the popular songs Charly, Out of Space and Fire, it reached number twelve in the UK Albums Chart and was soon certified platinum.

The group’s second album, Music for the Jilted Generation, followed in July 1994. It shot straight to number one in the UK, as well as charting inside the Billboard 200, and spawned the hit singles No Good (Start the Dance), Voodoo People and Poison. It has since been rated a classic album of the 1990s by the likes of Spin, NME and Mojo magazines.

However, the group’s first major international mainstream success was the 1997 album The Fat of the Land. Distributed by Maverick Records in America, it shot to number one on the Billboard 200 and was nominated for a Grammy Award, as well as for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize in 1997. It was also a number one hit in the UK, Canada, Australia and several other countries, and spawned the UK and international number one smash hits Firestarter and Breathe, as well as the UK Top 10 single Smack My Bitch Up.

Since the turn of the century The Prodigy have released a further two albums – 2004‘s Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned and 2009’s Invaders Must Die – and have scored hits with singles like Girls, Omen and Warrior’s Dance.

David Guetta is a renowned French electro house music producer and DJ.

Born 7^th November 1967 in Paris, France, Guetta began DJing in his mid-teens. Although initially playing just pop music, he developed a passion for electro after listening to a track by Farley Jackmaster Funk. He produced a number of club singles during the 1990s, including Nation Rap with Sidney Duteil and Up & Away with Robert Owens, but didn’t enjoy mainstream success until the turn of the century.

In 2000, Guetta founded Gum Productions with his friend and collaborator Joachim Garraud, and set about producing his debut studio album. Just a Little More Love was released on 10^th June 2002 and the title single was a minor hit, appearing on the soundtrack to the 2004 British film The Football Factory. The DJ’s second album, 2004’s Guetta Blaster, brought him even more attention and produced three hit singles: Money (ft. Chris Willis and Moné), Stay (ft. Chris Willis) and The World Is Mine (ft. JD Davis).

Guetta achieved more notable mainstream success with the release of his third studio album in 2007. Pop Life reached number two in the French charts and produced the UK Top 10 hit Love Is Gone (ft. Chris Willis), as well as the follow-up singles Baby When the Light (ft. Cozi Costi), Delirious (ft. Tara McDonald), Tomorrow Can Wait and Everytime We Touch.

However, it was 2009’s One Love that made Guetta into an international star. The album sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide and received three Grammy Award nominations. It spawned three UK number one singles – When Love Takes Over (ft. Kelly Rowland), Gettin’ Over (ft. Chris Willis, Fergie and LMFAO) and Sexy Bitch (ft. Akon) – as well as the Top 40 hits Memories (ft. Kid Cudi) and One Love (ft. Estelle).

In 2009, Guetta also produced the US number one smash hit single I Gotta Feeling for the Black Eyed Peas – which has since gone on to become the fifth most successful single in international music history.
