Out of Space

Written and produced by Liam Howlett, the track was engineered, produced and mixed at Earthbound Studios in 1992, released in November as the fourth single from The Prodigy's debut album Experience. The production combines ragga, hip-hop samples and hyperactive breakbeats with synthesised elements. Released at the peak of the UK breakbeat hardcore scene, the track reached number five on the UK Official Singles Chart and remained on the chart for twelve weeks, establishing The Prodigy as leaders of the rave movement and securing the band's mainstream commercial breakthrough. The track remains one of The Prodigy's most iconic recordings, regularly performed live across decades of touring and securing platinum certification from the BPI in 2024. Its innovative combination of reggae, hip-hop and rave production has proven foundational to electronic dance music and continues to influence producers across multiple genres.
