englishman matthew styles is a special one. firmly schooled in the history of dance music as a dj, his productions usually carry a uniqueness that cannot be located in time and space - a little bit like what courtney melody tried to put into words with his >modern girl<. styles debut for running back is his first solo release in a long while and ticks all the niceness boxes: straight up house with >dont call me again< that works itself up in a frenzy, the rough and ready >scale< performance without a ruffle, >polee< and its irresistible melody and last but not least the percussive and bass-heavy lunacy of >galaxy 21<. yee-haw! styles for days !!

the prodig s seventh studio album, no tourists will be released on their take me to the hospital label via bmg. in a career approaching 30 unpredictable, uncompromising years, the prodigy have become that rare artist whose influence can be felt across all walks of life. continually defining (and re-defining) electronic music, the band have clocked up a staggering 6 number 1 albums, played to many millions around the world, and remain as relevant and respected as ever. though much has changed in the musical and social landscape, what remains a constant is the prodigy s resolute focus on following their own path, their own way. this, perhaps, is the true meaning of no tourists , and in 2018 the anger, urgency, and irrepressible spirit of the prodigy has no doubt never been more needed
