Our latest single 'Set Me On Fire' is now available worldwide from all major digital stores and includes the exclusive remix by dance legends Utah Saints.
"I'm totally feeling 'em!" - Liam Howlett, The Prodigy
"Revolution is a massive tune!" - Rob Swire, Pendulum
"The missing link between Soundgarden and The Prodigy has materialised!" - Eddy Temple-Morris

We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.
Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.
