In Their Own Words: The Prodigy

Prodigy band leader Liam Howlett gives Steve Lamacq a studio tour in 2015 around the release of The Day Is My Enemy, and in 2018 they reunite to spin records on the London Eye.

Liam and Lammo from the archives. Prodigy band leader Liam Howlett gives Steve Lamacq a studio tour in 2015 around the release of The Day Is My Enemy, and in 2018 they reunite to spin records on the London Eye.

In 2015 Lammo visited Liam's studio to hear about the making of the band's latest LP but also delved back into the band's history and heard first hand how Liam pieced together a handful of tracks. Three years later the two reconvened, this time on the London Eye. As the BBC launched its new App, BBC Sounds, in 2018, Liam joined Lammo on the big wheel to share some of the records that had influenced him, as the pair did two full rotations over the course of an hour. In Lammo's own words 'it was a bit weird'.
